Executive Summary
We polled 383 respondents for our 2014 Hybrid Cloud Survey to determine the extent of hybrid cloud use in the
enterprise. Some data points:
>> 30% of 179 respondents using, piloting, or developing a private cloud can deploy on either public or private cloud,
whichever makes the most sense for a particular workload.
>> 26% of 112 respondents using, piloting, or developing a hybrid cloud say almost all of their total cloud-based
workloads run on private infrastructure; 6% say almost all of their cloud workloads run on public infrastructure.
>> 62% of respondents using, piloting, or developing a hybrid use VMware cloud stacks for their private clouds; 48%
use Microsoft Azure for public cloud services.
