Internap Survey Reveals Demand For ‘Cloudy Colo’ Services
Findings reflect the need to transform traditional colocation services with hybridization and the agility and self-service of the cloud.
Internap Network Services Corporation has released the results of a survey that shows IT organizations are seeking to transform their traditional colocation environments with “cloudy colo” capabilities that deliver hybridization with cloud services as well as cloud-like visibility and control.
The finding was revealed as part of a survey conducted by Internap to gain insight into organizations’ current use of multi-tenant data center services and considerations for the future. Internap polled more than 100 IT decision makers in the U.S. responsible for purchasing a range of IT Infrastructure services from colocation to cloud and hosting. Respondents spanned a wide range of industries, including technology, media and entertainment, healthcare, financial services and retail, and represented a broad range of company sizes, from more than $10 billion to less than $1 million in revenue.
