Moving Workloads from Your Data Center to a Hosted Private Cloud

How's this for an eye-popping statistic: of the companies surveyed last year by RightScale for its annual State of the Cloud report, fully 95 percent said they were already using the cloud — most more than one, a mix of public and private.

For a more in-depth understanding, check out our white paper, based on in-depth interviews with decision-makers at medium and large enterprises, in finance, health care, insurance and others.

The paper examines why certain workloads tend to reside in a data center or a hosted private cloud, the challenges of each and why companies are deploying more workloads in a hosted private cloud.
