More businesses could be investing in datacenter automation solutions in an effort to support private cloud deployments.

According to a recent InformationWeek report, a growing number of businesses are investing in private cloud computing infrastructure. This is leading to more automation and orchestration deployments in the enterprise sector.

The news source explained businesses are moving to the private cloud in recognition of the public cloud's potential. As organizations realize that the public cloud is the long-term future of the technology, a growing trend is emerging to upgrade internal IT systems to match the flexibility and scalability that the cloud offers.

This is creating a fertile environment for growth in the private cloud, along with the automation systems necessary to support the technology. Over the course of the coming year, businesses will increase their investments in both private and public cloud deployments, leading to growth in the hybrid cloud, the news source explained.

Datacenter automation is integral to success in the cloud because the pace of virtual server provisioning and application deployment rises considerably. Self-service portals also become prominent, making an automated IT resource distribution system integral to the technology's success.
