CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Cruiser, provider of the only end-to-end solution for hybrid IT consumption-based delivery, today announced the results of a Dimensional Research survey of 221 IT professionals who attended the recent AWS re:Invent Trade Show. These results include findings about their current and future cloud plans as well as their concerns.

Dimensional Research Survey of IT professionals at the AWS re:Invent Conference.

75% confirmed that they planned to include a hybrid cloud as part of their IT strategy and over one-third expect public cloud usage will increase by more than 50%. However, 72% indicated that they find it difficult to map public cloud usage and costs to the correct organization and 91% said it would be valuable if they were able to set alerts when public cloud consumption reaches or exceeds established targets.

Another interesting data point revealed that 44% of the respondents do not have any means to employ chargeback or showback for their delivery of IT services, but 56% indicated that they were planning to provide service cost transparency to their businesses.

"Every prediction we have seen indicates a growing adoption of hybrid cloud computing and this research confirms that trend," stated Deirdre Mahon, Chief Marketing Officer for Cloud Cruiser. "However, there are transparency and visibility challenges in managing consumption and costs in a hybrid environment. That is why Cloud Cruiser developed a heterogeneous set of capabilities to track usage, automatically bill customers and set cloud consumption alerts so our customers can take full advantage of hybrid IT infrastructures."
