The scale of cloud adoption and associated challenges were highlighted in the '2016 State of the Cloud' report by RightScale[1], which found in 1,060 IT professionals:

  • 95% of respondents use some form of private, public or hybrid cloud
  • Cloud users leverage 6 Clouds on average - 3 Public and 3 Private

The key to a successful cloud strategy is getting the connectivity between the clouds and your stakeholders (branches, remote offices, end users etc.) right, in terms of performance, throughput and security.
