451 Report: The Impact of Cloud and the Internet of Things on Data Centre Demand

With the growing adoption of public cloud services by enterprises and ever-evolving IT options and priorities – including the growth of mobility and IoT – demand drivers for leased data center space have changed, and will continue to do so. To better understand enterprises plans and challenges, Vertiv and 451 Research polled more than 700 IT decision makers from various sized companies across the US, Western Europe, China, and India. The result quantifies the continued shift in IT workloads from on-premise facilities to cloud and colocation and also provides insight into how organizations are making decisions regarding moving capacity off premises. In addition, it reveals surprising insights into the impact IoT is already having, and is expected to have, on IT resources.
