Yesterday, I offered my first prediction for 2011: “Private Cloud Proliferates.”
Here is prediction #2:
At the same time, we’ll see continued growth—explosive growth—in public cloud services, where affinity will continue to bind to small and mid-sized businesses and non-production enterprise workloads. We’ll also see more evidence of rogue workloads leaking to the public cloud outside of the reach of corporate policies. This will motivate IT leadership to define governance models for controlled usage of public cloud services.
I’ll post prediction #3 tomorrow. In the meantime, what do you think?
