Private cloud adoption continues to rise
A few years ago, private clouds were just starting to be deployed. Now, private clouds are almost the norm in cloud computing.

When companies move to the cloud, they have numerous options regarding cloud service providers, including public, private or hybrid solutions. One key area companies look at in the cloud is security.
When hardware goes down, companies can find out just how much the enterprise cloud already matters for them. Industry professional Eric Knorr wrote on InfoWorld that his MacBook’s hard drive died in the middle of a meeting earlier this month, leaving him with no way to recover any of the information on it.
At a recent forum featuring executives from multiple industries, Jeffrey Kaplan, an enterprise cloud consultant, said he spoke with many different CIOs and business decision makers who said they were being pressured into adoption of enterprise-class cloud computing.
Security in enterprise-class cloud computing has been a hotly debated issue over the past many years. The Next Web said even though there are many fears of the technology, the biggest worry may come from the human factor at work within the enterprise cloud.
The enterprise cloud is coming to a point where the adoption rate is starting to catch up with the hype. CloudTech said a hybrid cloud solution can offer organizations both affordability and security by splitting the business process so the demand for a load will go evenly between the clouds.
After more than two years of testing, implementing and validating their enterprise-class cloud computing solution, German car engineering company BMW’s private cloud solution will go live in November 2013.
There is a lot of pressure on companies to migrate to enterprise-class cloud computing as soon as possible, according to IT Business Edge’s Arthur Cole, even if just to bring some company control over a user-driven technology.
While there has been a great amount of growth in the number of businesses which have adopted the enterprise cloud, Rich Quick said on The Next Web that there is still some skittishness companies have about the technology.
The beginning of the end is here for the traditional ways of information technology, according to The New York Times Bits blogger Quentin Hardy. Organizations that formerly spent money on servers and software will start to see the benefits of enterprise-class cloud computing, he wrote, as many organizations are already trying to build up to work with mobility, smartphones and tablets via the cloud.
