Cost, Self-Service Drive Unstructured Data to Cloud: Komprise Survey
Komprise takes a sunnier view of cloud migration, reporting that on-premises-only environments fell from 20% to 12% since last year, although 50% still use a mix of cloud and non-cloud. Two-thirds of the companies spend more than 30% of their IT budget on data storage and protection, so it’s not surprising that cutting costs is the main reason for cloud migration. Better news is that self-service data access and greater agility are the next-most-common reasons. This matters to marketers because user data is the most common type of unstructured data.
