Security remains a top concernNot really a surprise but the security concerns about cloud and in particular public cloud remain. Organizations find the speed, agility and convenience of the public cloud very appealing but despite all of those advantages, the uncertainty that the use of public cloud creates drives many to rate security as a top concern (46%).

In-House vs Cloud SecurityA slim majority is more concerned about cloud security than in-house security. This debate is probably similar to feelings of safety related to flying vs driving.

Hybrid CloudA more solid majority is planning some sort of hybrid cloud effort.

Single vs MultivendorSingle vendor solutions are a holy grail to IT groups as they present IT with a single throat to choke in event of trouble instead of multivendor fingerpointing. Reality is that various business/application requirements will likely end up driving multivendor approaches.
