As cloud infrastructure has matured, organizational use has accelerated: 94% of organizations use public cloud services today (inclusive of both infrastructure- and software-as-a-service providers). While most would assume this is due to a clear public cloud functionality advantage, in fact, private clouds have evolved to keep pace with public cloud capabilities: 84% of respondents say their on-premises infrastructure is as easy, or easier, to manage than public cloud alternatives; 82% say the same about the level of performance and ease of access provided by on-premises infrastructure; 79% feel on-premises infrastructure agility is as good, or better than, cloud infrastructure; and 76% say their on-premises infrastructure matches public cloud options in terms of scalability.
