A 451 Research survey of almost 2,000 enterprise cloud users has named IBM as the company most likely to win significant cloud hosting projects. The survey was commissioned by Microsoft. According to the Hosting and Cloud Survey 2015, 50% of current public cloud users are already shifting workload to private cloud environments, and 52% expect to do so in the future. The primary reason for this shift is security, followed by control. IBM is listed as the company most likely to win cloud business (18%), followed by Microsoft (11%), and Amazon Web Services (6%). The primary reasons that companies are moving to cloud have little to do with cost, but rather business growth, agility, and quality.
