Two speeds: which sectors most trust in the cloud?

Infrastructures and cloud services, key digital transformation strategies, progress adequately and 2016 will be a year in which progress its adoption in enterprises. A recent report of Pentheus, however, concluded that there are significant differences in the rhythm of each sector and the solutions that are committed.

Penteo annual report on services and infrastructure cloud, entitled "Highway to cloud" argues that there are differences in the type of solutions that are committed each of the sectors of the economy both pace of adoption.

According to this third edition of the report, telecoms and utilities (gas, light, power) is where is detected a greater penetration of cloud (27.4%) infrastructures and services, since the 99.6% of the analyzed companies deliver any part of the technology to the cloud. The most attractive solution for this sector is the private IaaS (39.2%) followed closely by the public/private hybrid model (35.1%). Also "calls attention the continuous search for processes that generate a qualitative leap in the companies in this sector", notes Pentheus. However, despite being the sector more trusting on cloud services, 39.7% of the companies analyzed acknowledge that they have the strategy in this field still "in definition".

On the opposite side is the industrial sector, in which 92.9% of the analyzed companies use such services but the penetration of cloud infrastructures is 26.7%.

However, the industry is leaving behind its reticence to such services. In fact, the Penteo 2015 report says this sector as one of the higher growth recorded in 2016, an increase of 20.8%. Like the telcos and the energy sector, the industry leans preferably by IaaS private proposals, or hybrid.

For its part, the public sector has also taken "with enthusiasm", says Penteo, such solutions to improve its procedures and be more agile in every day. Just two years ago, administration was leaving as the most reluctant sector the adoption of services and infrastructure in the cloud with a 22.1%, and the report forecasts to 2016 a utilization rate of 64.7 per cent at the end of the year.

In terms of banking and insurance, it is positioned as the second sector that increased confidence deposited in infrastructure in the cloud (41.9%), behind only 'Telecoms and utilities'. In addition, the sector continues to promote, according to the report, private IaaS-based solutions.

Finally, the service sector presents a sustained growth in the last three years in the adaptation of such services. Thus, 33.4% of the analyzed companies ensures to deliver part of your infrastructure to a cloud model, and 2016 it is expected a growth of 11.9%.
