While cloud computing may be the hot topic in the enterprise, a new survey of 210 executives from companies with 100 to 1,000 employees, conducted by Virtacore Systems, a provider of a cloud computing platform aimed at midmarket customers, finds little appreciation or understanding of cloud computing.
