As more companies embrace and expand their cloud computing (whether external, private, or hybrid cloud options) they are discovering new ways to more easily deploy, customize, secure, and manage their workloads. Cloud computing was new to the list of key technologies in 2009, when it was ranked seventeenth. In 2010 it jumped to No. 5, and since 2011 it has been ranked second. Most CIOs expect to operate their applications and infrastructures via cloud technologies within the next five years. Over the next three years nearly 65% of the growth in cloud spending will come from companies that make little or no use of the cloud today—and that industries like retail, transportation, industrials and financial services will demand more private and hybrid cloud offerings. It is anticipated that investments will continue to rise, while significantly impacting IT sourcing strategies. Understanding the integration and management of the entire ITIL and TOGAF frameworks (across ITOM, ITSM, ITBM, ITAM, CSM, and Security Operations) are essential.
