Official: Cloud computing is now mainstream

Advanced practitioners display hybrid vigour

Cloud computing is so mainstream these days that maybe it should just be called "computing". That's what an IDC survey of 6,100 organisations in 31 countries, released today, indicates, with 68 per cent of respondents using public, private or hybrid cloud in their IT mix. This is a 60 per cent jump from 42 per cent of respondents doing cloud in 2015."
