Cloud computing has become a huge trend in the last five years; IDC has predicted a 130% increase in cloud computing by 2016. There are so many benefits to moving to the cloud that companies cannot resist anymore. For example, companies prefer a subscription payment model because they only pay for the amount of data they need. Cloud computing recovery services have been a cost-effective way to back up your whole company. Also, security is improving all the time; there is continuous effort to provide with top quality safety structure. Here are three interesting cloud trends to watch which could help boost cloud computing in the long-term:
- In a study done by Gartner, they predict the size of the cloud computing market could reach $150 billion in 2013.This is not a surprising number due to the excitement and benefits that cloud computing can offer businesses in the long run. An on-premise solution looks less appealing as the cloud computing market thrives.
- Mimecast did a statistic based study and found that 7/10 companies using cloud services will move new applications to the cloud. Only 70%? Have you heard the saying “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”? This means some businesses are still skeptical about moving to the cloud. However, based on trends, they will probably move their applications to the cloud sooner or later.
- Gartner also predicted that 60% of server workloads will be virtualized by 2014.This was not news to me because of the amount of benefits you get in return. You don’t need to purchase hardware; you can reduce your carbon footprint and lower your energy costs. This is a great way to save money in the long run.

Hi,
The site is about Cloud Computing Statistics, it is very important for business people. You can get messages about the market and according to that u can also develop your business, thanks..
I'd have to say that it's "only 70%" because organizations are still somewhat skeptical about security measures in the cloud. It's the sensitive data and applications that they won't be moving. At least not yet.
