GreenPages CEO Predicts Massive Public Cloud Growth

Only a small portion of total workloads run on public cloud in today’s working world, but GreenPages CEO Ron Dupler said the channel needs to prepare for rapid growth in the space.

’Today about 15 percent of workloads are running on public cloud, in three to four years we believe that’s going to be 40 percent, 10 years out that’s going to be 75 percent, plus. We in the channel need to look much different in that world than we do today,’ Dupler told CRNtv.

The CEO said GreenPages’ clients are facing both threats and opportunities in their relative industries thanks to rapid transformation and disruption. More than ever before, transformation revolves around application-centric, modern cloud architectures.

Dupler calls the feature the ’New World IT,’ in which solution providers like GreenPages help customers ’rationalize the current state of their infrastructure platforms, define a target state and move towards their ideals.’

Dupler called the current traditional on-premise market customer architecture market a ’shrinking pie.’
