Indian organizations show a very strong inclination toward the private cloud, with extremely low responses for public cloud in both 2010 and 2013. An EMC- sponsored study by IDC on 'Hybrid Cloud on the Rise: A Key Strategy to Business Growth in Asia Pacific' revealed that today 53 percent of organizations surveyed in Asia Pacific are currently using some form of cloud, or actively researching and testing cloud services, while the remaining 47 percent of organizations have plans to adopt private and/or public cloud services at some point in the next 12 months.
At an India level, while 14 percent of India organizations said they are currently using cloud computing, 76 percent plan to use cloud computing at least after six months. Comparing 2010 with 2013, there are relatively small changes, with a decline in responses for private cloud across multiple applications, and small increases in IT infrastructure, storage, and storage management as well as a relatively strong increase in VoIP. Based on results, India organizations will remain focused on the private cloud over the next three years, with small opportunity for public cloud services.
The hybrid or 'converged' approach to cloud will be the rule rather than the exception in 2011 as cloud computing gains a bigger foothold across the region. As a result, cloud federation between private and public clouds, or between different public clouds, will become increasingly important in 2011 as the cloud model moves into the enterprise.
'While the need to effectively manage IT assets stands out as a primary reason for implementing cloud services in India, enterprises want the benefits of cloud computing in their own terms,' said Manoj Chugh, President, EMC India and SAARC.
The survey indicates that the shift to hybrid clouds is also being accelerated by the needs of some IT departments that have to deal with new ways of building applications to meet the needs of end-users who are increasingly turning to smart phone devices and web tablets, while needing to continue supporting core legacy and mission-critical applications.
In India, the most common cited response to adopt cloud computing was the need to effectively use IT assets (60 percent). India was also striking in that it had the highest response rate (and well above other countries surveyed) that private cloud changes the IT funding model (56 percent), with Australia, the second highest rate for this response, at 31 percent.
The current levels of private cloud adoption of those surveyed stands at 4 percent with a further 18 percent planning on implementing private cloud within 12 months. A further 23 percent of organizations said they will implement private cloud within the next 24 months.
