      'High Cloud Exposure' Companies Gain Scalability, Security Advantages

      While cloud investment has emerged as common among organizations today, business and IT leaders in highly committed cloud companies are seeing a wide range of operational and competitive advantages, according to a recent survey from Oracle and Intel. The resulting “Cloud Insights” report indicates that, in general, these migrations bring greater scalability, agility and collaboration. And, in comparing “high cloud exposure” enterprises to their less exposed counterparts, additional benefits include improved software development, DevOps integration and cyber-threat detection. A total of 730 global C-suite and IT executives took part in the research. This slide show presents key findings from the survey, with charts provided courtesy of Oracle and Intel.
