That same press release, from back in April when Autonomy's Digital Safe was "only" 10 petabytes big, listed these companies among its private-cloud customers: Aviva, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Lincoln Financial Group, LPL Financial, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, Societe Gnrale, and TD Ameritrade.
Autonomy expects the rush to the cloud to continue as both CIOs and CMOs are eager to find faster and more-effective ways to use technology--on-premise or elsewhere--to evaluate and explore revenue-generating opportunities in cost-effective ways.
"We're moving more and more of our applications into the cloud," Eagan said, "because we think that as companies begin preparing once again for growth, they're going to turn increasingly to the cloud."
