SMEs betting big on Hybrid Cloud to enhance efficiency, says HP Research 
HP(NYSE:HPQ) has released a new global research revealing that enterprises are accelerating cloud adoption, showing significant gains in private cloud investments and establishing hybrid delivery models that will meet their needs as organizational requirements change.

According to a new global study commissioned by HP, by 2016, 77 per cent of enterprise IT delivery is expected to be cloud-based in Asia-Pacific, with 38 per cent as private cloud, 22 per cent as managed cloud (private cloud-managed by someone else) and 17 per cent as public cloud.  Traditional IT will remain a key delivery model, accounting for 24 per cent.   

Rapid adoption rates in Asia-Pacific are driven by respondents' expectations that cloud will lower costs (59 per cent), drive agility (58 per cent) and improve customer/citizen service (62 per cent). However, while the respondents expect these benefits, nearly half of organizations (46 per cent) admit that they are not running any return on investment analysis for their cloud initiatives. For those organizations which do have some form of measurement, 13 per cent say they only use “time-to-delivery” metrics, while 10 per cent measure their cloud implementations by calculating cost benefits.

The study was conducted by Coleman Parkes Research on behalf of HP, and comprised 200 interviews in Asia-Pacific and Japan among senior business and technology executives within enterprises (more than 1,000 employees - 75 per cent of the sample) and midmarket companies.......See More
