Enterprise Cloud-Based VMs Up 35%

Enterprise Cloud-Based VMs Up 35%

Verizon’s 2013 State of the Enterprise Cloud Report claims that enterprises are embracing the cloud. According to the white paper, enterprise use of cloud-based memory climbed 100 percent over the past year, while cloud storage grew 90 percent.

But enterprises aren’t just storing data in the cloud—they’re also running applications there. The number of virtual machines (VMs) deployed in cloud increased 35 percent between 2012 and 2013.
