2011 Virtualization and Evolution to the Cloud Survey

Denmark Key Findings

Methodology
Survey Performed by Applied Research

3,700 enterprises worldwide, 100 in Denmark


Tactical IT, Strategic IT and C-level professionals Cross-industry

Key Findings
Gaps between expectations and reality

Increasing focus on business-critical applications


Quality of service challenges IT and business executives out of synch Most organizations rely heavily on outside service providers

Market Adoption
Most (57-68%) are at least discussing cloud adoption

Server virtualization and storage virtualization are most mature (31% implementing each)
Private/hybrid cloud is least mature (27% implementing)

Denmark behind the rest of the world

Q12: At what stage is your organization in each of the following areas?

Gaps Between Expectations and Reality Reveal Evolving Market


We asked those who have already implemented:
What their original goals were (expected)
What they actually achieved after implementing (realized goals)

We measured the gap between expected and realized goals

Server virtualization tracked well (4% average improvement)


Private/hybrid cloud challenging to implement (26% average gap)

Server Virtualization
Biggest gaps:
Server manageability (down 12%)
Uptime (down 6%) Reduce OpEx (up 6%)

Storage Virtualization
Biggest gaps:
Reduce CapEx (down 29%)
Keep up with emerging trends (down 36%) Agility (down 15%)

Endpoint/Desktop Virtualization
Biggest gaps:
Management of application licenses (down 16%)
Application compatibility (down 16%) Easier/faster new endpoint deployment (down 23%)

Private Storage-as-a-Service
Biggest gaps:
Uptime (down 42%)
Scalability (down 33%) Disaster recovery readiness (down 50%)

Hybrid/Private Cloud Computing


Biggest gaps:
Time to provision new resources (down 75%)
Uptime (down 50%) Disaster recovery readiness (down 25%)

Increasing Focus on Business-Critical Applications


Organizations leveraging virtualization for business-critical applications
Top apps include accounting/financial, database, document management

More slowly leveraging hybrid/private cloud technologies


Average of 21% of business-critical apps in hybrid/private cloud environments
Concerns over controlling physical access to data, application compatibility, and compliance

Quality of Service Challenges Emerge as Top Priorities


Storage cost and performance is top of mind

Security concerns
Performance issues Availability

IT and Business Executives Out of Synch


Why?
Performance
Reliability Security

IT somewhat open
App owners also open Denmark more cautious than rest of the world

Most Organizations Lean Heavily on Third-party Service Providers

Symantec Recommendations
Ensure alignment between IT and executives in virtualization and cloud initiatives Dont operate in a silo when it comes to cloud computing Leverage and modernize your existing infrastructure

Set realistic expectations and track your results
