A
study conducted by Frost & Sullivan examined the intention of the companies
to adopt cloud computing in the next two years in Brazil and Mexico, in
particular with respect to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Paas (Platform
as a Service) or SaaS ( software as a service).
For
Brazilian companies, 53% of interviews said they had a good knowledge, while
15% said they had a great knowledge. By the Mexican companies, 46.2% say
they have good knowledge while 23% say they have a great knowledge about cloud
computing .
Despite
the good response, the consultant found that there are issues to be better
explained to the market, especially regarding the safety of this new business
model, which is still considered the main barrier to adoption. According
to Bruno Tasco, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan, there is even confusion
about providers really able to offer cloud computing solutions.
"When
we asked companies about who would be the main providers of cloud solutions, we
conclude that some companies had been cited by the simple fact possess a Datacenter,
ie, there are still companies who believe that simply owning a provider to
offer a Datacenter cloud computing, "he warns.
The
survey finds that the consulting companies increasingly want to use solutions
in the cloud, but the main focus is the private cloud
environment. "We still have a long way to traverse to educate the
market and reduce cultural barriers mainly related to security. Thus,
companies have chosen to invest in private clouds for fear of having their
infrastructure shared with other companies, " said Tasco.
