Interxion commissioned IDC to survey 752 European
enterprises, to understand how the rise of digital, as well
as public and hybrid cloud, are affecting IT infrastructure
and networking.
We found that:
■ The big change is in the number of organisations that
understand digital will be not just important but critical
to their business over the long term.
■ Companies are gradually moving IT into third-party
data centres and hybrid cloud environments, to gain
flexibility, cost and security benefits.
■ Cloud adoption will soar once performance and
security concerns are addressed
