2012 trend

THE hybrid cloud will be the top trend of 2012, predicts Niall Gilmore , country manager for Citrix Systems Ireland.

Currently, Irish organisations are engaging with cloud computing through two different paths — the private cloud and the public cloud — but this is all set to change.

“In the past, security-conscious companies would have used the private cloud model, keeping everything within their own data centres, while organisations free from these limitations tapped into the more flexible option of the public cloud,” says Mr Gilmore.
