Cloud computing and Web 2.0 will be the dominant technological focuses of 2010, research by Logicalis has suggested.
Indeed, a move toward cloud computing could bring benefits for the IT industry, Adam Bosnian, vice-president of products, strategy and sales at Cyber-Ark said.
"Almost any size of organisation can use public or private cloud resources and enjoy significantly enhanced economies of scale," said Mr Bosnian.
He added that using cloud computing services can help to reduce spend on powering server disks that are only partially used, noting that with the cloud, "only a small minority" of servers do not have data stored on them.
The Logicalis research - conducted by polling a range of chief information officers and chief technology officers - found that cloud computing was popular because of its flexible design and cost benefits.
Besides cloud computing and Web 2.0, virtual desktops are likely to grow in popularity over the coming year, the research found.
