2009 saw a massive increase in the amount of businesses that started to use hosted solutions. Before last year, virtualisation was "pie in the sky" and most people who considered it to be a platform that would only appear in the distant future, but the reality is that virtualisation is with us now and cloud computing is here to stay.
2010 is a massive year for cloud computing. Businesses are starting to use Hosted services in all aspects of their business. Some are using Hosted desktop solutions for satellite office and people who work from home, as it gives people the opportunity to access their desktop from anywhere that has an internet connection without any fuss. Other businesses are taking advantage of Hosted exchange solutions as a replacement for their existing in-house server, as it is an extremely cost effective way of getting a state of the art, enterprise class email solution.
We are noticing a trend for businesses to "dip their toe" into virtualisation and trying the service over a period of time before they commit to migration from their traditional platform. Over 97% of customers that took out a trial period decided to commit to a Hosted desktop solution and this statistic speaks volumes for functionality, stability and flexibility of platform. The cost effective nature of the beast is also a massive plus point in the current climate, with people saving thousands by using hosted solutions instead of upgrading their existing hardware/software.
