By 2012, 20 percent of businesses will own no IT assets. Several interrelated trends are driving the movement toward decreased IT hardware assets, such as virtualization, cloud-enabled services, and employees running personal desktops and notebook systems on corporate networks,� says Gartner.
Of long, organizations have been stockpiling technology, with the infrastructure revealing problems of under-utilization and existence of too many silos. Information multiplying every single day is making things increasingly challenging for the enterprises to manage them. IDC says that during the coming ten years, data stored in various storage systems will increase by 44 times, with the current rate of data growth. But it won't be possible for enterprises to increase their IT budgets and scale up their IT infrastructure in tandem with the information explosion that's happening.
Another point is the time to market, which has become significant for businesses and they are looking at ways and means to minimize it. For eg , if an enterprise wants to set up a collaboration service internally or develop social networking capability, they would plan about the hardware, software, service requirements, etc which might take a long time to market. But now with the available cloud services, the same roll out is possible within much shorter time.
