I was very interested to see IDC’s blog recently talk about the types of applications, workloads and services that are expected to move to the cloud, as this was essentially the final question that was asked in my recent cloud survey.
It was particularly nice to see both sets of results reinforce each other in that web applications (including business applications) were rapidly moving to the cloud. My results show that the top two workloads expected in the cloud are: 1) application test and dev; and 2) large scale website handling load spikes. Here’s the chart:
What do you think? Does this jive with the types of workloads your are seeing or expect to see on your cloud infrastructure?
