US Business - Hybrid Cloud Adoption Trends

Detailed surveys with US enterprises (1000+ employees), midmarket firms (100-999 employees) and small businesses (1-99 employees). 

Techaisle believes that the debate between public, private and hybrid will have a limited “shelf life”. Even if we limit the definition of “hybrid” to meaningful linkages between public and private cloud infrastructure, data shows that hybrid cloud is gaining momentum in small business, has taken root in midmarket firms and is firmly entrenched in the enterprise segment.

According to survey responses, hybrid cloud – employed by 23% of cloud-using small businesses today – will be the approach of choice for 35% in 2016. Meanwhile, hybrid accounts for 35% of mid-market respondents’ cloud use today, and is expected to capture a 49% of new spending in the next one year. On the enterprise side – businesses with more than 1000 employees, hybrid adoption has already reach 75% and another 20% are planning to adopt hybrid within the year.
