Virtualization is a strategic priority at large companies, and trust plays a crucial role in their choice of cloud service provider and in determining the type of data they store outside company infrastructure, according to a Bitdefender survey of 503 IT decision makers at companies in the US, the UK and Germany with more than 1,000 PCs. Hybrid infrastructures, a mix of public cloud services and privately owned data centers, have become the major architecture in the enterprise environment, and CIOs have to adapt to the new world. This survey, carried out by iSense Solutions, reveals why companies virtualize, which countries CIOs trust and what kind of data companies care most about.
