According to IDC, a global provider of market intelligence, cloud computing is poised to capture 25% of IT growth spend by 2012. The economic downturn is increasing Cloud Computing interest - rather than writing that $2M check for a data center hardware refresh, who wouldn't rather manage their infrastructure as a service, moving infrastructure to the cloud can turn capital expenditures (or fixed costs) into operational expenditures (or variable costs)...it's a recession-beating no brainer!
