50% of respondents cited efficiency as the top motivator for cloud investments.
Increased security is the second most important business driver for organizations investing in cloud computing, with 48% of respondents citing it as a key factor in their investment.
Resilience is also a primary driver of cloud computing investments for 40% of companies.
86% of respondents said their organzation has adopted a hybrid or multi cloud approach to cloud deployments.
