A new study carried out for cloud specialists Rackspace has shown a desire for a mixed cloud offering by businesses.

The study found that 60 per cent of respondents viewed a hybrid model consisting of both public and private frameworks as providing the most beneficial model.

60 percent of respondents were also looking at partially or completely transitioning applications from public clouds to private frameworks based on the limitations of services.

The transition of services between internal and external cloud offerings comes as businesses gain greater understanding of new services and prioritise the need for each services benefit such as control, security or flexibility.
