The Future of Hybrid Cloud is an independent piece of research carried out exclusively for Node4 by Censuswide. It explores some of the drivers behind the current and planned use of hybrid cloud environments (public cloud plus at least one other infrastructure type) amongst UK businesses.
The findings are based on the views of 302 IT decision-makers from various vertical markets with 1,000 – 10,000 employees and a broad spectrum of annual turnover.
