An overwhelming majority of enterprise IT decision makers responding to a recent Red Hat survey say that OpenStack is part of their organization’s future cloud infrastructure plans.The “2013 Path to an OpenStack-Powered Cloud” survey of 200 U.S. enterprise decision makers, commissioned by Red Hat through IDG Connect, found that the majority of organizations (51%) are on either their second or third implementation of private cloud, using internally developed solutions or alternative offerings from vendors.
The survey results show that internal development of private cloud platforms has left organizations with a host of challenges to address, including resource management (21%); simplifying IT management (18%); application management (18%); and application migration (18%). As organizations seek to address these issues, they are moving, or have plans to move, to OpenStack for private cloud initiatives.
Sixty percent of survey respondents indicate that they are in the early stages of their OpenStack deployments, and have either not yet completed the implementation stage or are early in the process, and 84% of respondents say that OpenStack is part of their future cloud plans.
