IBM has revealed that cloud services and platforms are finally showing signs of strong uptake across Australia.

Despite a lot of talk and hype surrounding the impact and employment of cloud and service based on the platform, past uptake of the services had been slow, however a new report by IBM suggests change.

IBM has released a report entitled ‘Truth Behind the Trends’ which saw the IT giant question IT executives across Australia.

The report found that past concerns regarding risks relating to data regulation and security had limited uptake, but that an increase in infrastructure had reversed this trend.

IBM cloud expert Anton Lak said: “It's only in the last 12 months that we've seen an increased amount of infrastructure based in Australia, hence it is easier for Australian organisations to do it without concern".
