In 2006 there were 29 million workloads running on traditional IT. 2% cloud (SalesForce). 160 million workloads in 2016 and 15% are public, 12% are private cloud. 255 million workloads by 2021. By 2030 52% of workloads will be public cloud. New build datacenters are on the decline starting in 2015. In 2016 was the crossover point where companies are using more service providers/clouds than internal datacenters. Internet of Things is taking off and really exploding. As cloud takes root, it expands the investment in IT. As the cloud becomes cheaper, the more companies will use it.
