Report Findings Confirm: Email in a Single-Tenant Cloud Makes Sense for Enterprises

Listen up Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers! Intermedia is giving live demos of our Dedicated Exchange on AWS solution at the AWS Summit in Chicago today and tomorrow. If you’re going to be at the show, please stop by booth #108. We’d love to talk to you further about this new solution for AWS customers, as well as review with you the findings of a brand-new survey report we commissioned to better understand the migration of applications to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for those using or considering the AWS platform.

On behalf of Intermedia, Researchscape International surveyed over 300 IT managers that were using or intending to use the AWS platform. These organizations all had between 400 and 11,999 employees. The results were rather surprising — like the fact that email was the least commonly hosted application on IaaS at only 32%. However, when it comes to apps that organizations PLAN on moving to IaaS in the future, email ranks as the highest (32%, +6 delta).
