Full Story:
Dell EMC today announces Dell EMC Cloud for Microsoft AzureStack, a new, turnkey, hybrid cloud platform that offers a simple
and fast path for implementing and sustaining a hybrid cloud based on Microsoft
Azure Stack. The new platform helps organizations standardizing on the Microsoft
Azure ecosystem to accelerate their digital transformation with
automated IT service delivery for traditional and cloud-native applications. As
a result, organizations can better engage with their customers, reduce time to
market for new services, and free-up resources to focus on adding business
value.
“Cloud is an operating
model, not a place, and adopting a hybrid model has become the clear choice,”
said Peter Cutts, senior vice president, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Dell EMC. “Making hybrid cloud
platforms simple and turnkey enables businesses to rapidly develop and deploy
new applications, optimize resources, control costs and deliver the best
possible customer experiences.”

New Study Reveals Key Drivers for Hybrid
Cloud Adoption
Cloud Adoption
To understand how companies are transforming business
and to analyze the benefits, costs and drivers associated with the use of cloud
deployment models, Dell EMC commissioned analyst firm IDC to conduct a global
survey of 1,000 mid- to large-sized organizations that are using and/or
evaluating private and public cloud.
and to analyze the benefits, costs and drivers associated with the use of cloud
deployment models, Dell EMC commissioned analyst firm IDC to conduct a global
survey of 1,000 mid- to large-sized organizations that are using and/or
evaluating private and public cloud.
This IDC Cloudview Survey finds that 79.7%
of large organizations (with 1,000 or more employees) report they already have
a hybrid cloud strategy. In addition, 51.4% already use
both public and private cloud infrastructure resources with an additional 29.2%
expecting to in the next year.2

The survey results, published in the IDC White Paper, The Power of Hybrid Cloud,
also reveal that total cost of ownership is one of the top drivers of cloud
adoption. Other criteria for future IT infrastructure decisions on workloads
supported by cloud environments includes physical and data security (34%) and
operation flexibility (33%) in addition to flexibility of economic models. This
study underscores the value of turnkey hybrid cloud, which balances the
pros and cons of different cloud deployment models.
