No Jitter Research: 2017 Cloud Communications Survey: Page 11 of 12

Some of This, Some of That

As we learned in the previous slide, 42% of respondents see hybrid cloud deployments in their futures, whether by combining hosted and premises-based versions from incumbent vendors or mixing up a legacy on-premises platform with cloud services from a different provider. Yet when asked to rate the importance of a hybrid cloud deployment option, only about 20% of respondents said they felt the hybrid option was fairly to very important. Half of the respondents, on the other hand, said they felt hybrid was either only slightly important or not at all important. That percentage has increased over 2016, when only 42% said hybrid was slightly or not at all important.
