A survey from cloud management specialists Zenoss revealed that only 18 percent of the company’s user community had deployed open source management platforms.

While open source services have become increasingly prevalent within the cloud marketplace, the survey by Zenoss has revealed that such services have yet to be fully adopted by the IT community.

While reports of failing in security and limited support were given for reasons of avoidance, the report revealed that 43 percent of those polled planned to adopt open source computing platforms in the future.
