Budgets and technology adoption are all on the rise, but at a slower rate than the previous six months. Mobile moves into the forefront as tablets gain ground and IT pros struggle to find the right approach for managing employee owned devices. The four key findings that emerged from this latest study are: Virtualization and cloud adoption continue to rise; Reliance on virtualization deepens significantly. Sixty-four percent of SMBs are currently using virtualization, and results show that SMBs are becoming more reliant on this technology with the number of application categories virtualized up to 3.1 vs. 2.1 a year ago. Cloud adoption increased only 4% in the last 6 months to 48%, but projections remain strong with 14% of SMBs planning to adopt cloud services in the next 6 months. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is well established in SMBs, but IT pros have mixed opinions on managing these devices. Three-quarters of SMBs manage employee-owned devices, indicating the BYOD trend is now a standard. But IT pros are still unsure on how they feel about managing these devices with 55% stating they fully embrace BYOD or believe it works well for some devices, while the other 45% haven t formed an opinion or find it to be a headache for their department. Tablets find a solid spot in SMBs. In the last 6 months, the number of SMBs using tablets has increased from 33% to 45% with another 17% planning to purchase a tablet for their company in the next 6 months. If this projection holds true then 62% of SMBs will be using tablets for business by 2H IT Budgets continue to increase while new hires remain steady. IT budgets grew 6% to an average of $152,000 in the last 6 months showing a strong, healthy trend toward investment in technology for SMBs. Nearly a third of IT departments plan to add staff in the next 6 months while 56% will keep their department headcount the same.
3 SMB IT budgets continue to grow. The majority of respondents in this study (62%) are from companies with employees. Data from all respondents show that annual budgets continue to rise in 2012 and have reached an average of $152,000. This is a 6% increase over the last 6 months. Nearly a third of IT departments plan to grow their teams in the next 6 months which is consistent to what we have seen over the last 2 waves of this study. Average Planned Budgets and Percent Adding Staff Over Time Budgets show in thousands of dollars. $108 Planned Budgets $117 % Adding Staff $122 $132 $143 $152 22% 20% 20% 31% 31% 30% 2H H H H H H 2012 IT Staff Changes in Next 6 Months 4% 56% 30% * 10% Don t Know REDUCING STAFF STAYING THE SAME ADDING STAFF 3
4 New hardware grabs largest portion of IT spend. The largest portion of IT budgets are allocated to hardware purchases and 87% of respondents state this will be on new purchases vs. upgrades. Software purchases capture an average of 34% of the budget and spend will be split somewhat evenly across new purchases, renewals and upgrades with nearly 50% of respondents making each of these types of purchases. An average of 26% of the budget will go towards IT services and 31% of respondents state this will be for renewals Allocation of Annual IT Budget Top 5 Planned Purchases in Next 6 Months: Hardware (New Purchase or Upgrade) 40% Desktop Computer Laptop/Notebook Computer Server Storage/SAN/NAS Wireless Networking 49% 47% 93% 80% 70% Hardware 26% Software 34% IT Services Software (New Purchase, Renew or Upgrade) Anti-virus/Anti-spam Backup/Recovery Client Productivity Suite Virtualization IT Services (New Purchase, Renew or Upgrade) Web Hosting ISP Domain Hosting Hosted Backup/Recovery 44% 44% 42% 44% 43% 34% 27% 61% 53% 54% 4
5 Budget allocation remains consistent with prior period. While the allocation of IT budget stays steady since 1H 2011, the trend over time shows allocation toward hardware services decreasing and IT services increasing. This is most likely due to the adoption of more cloud-based services and the movement towards employee owned devices in the workplace. Allocation of Annual IT Budget Over Time Hardware Software IT Services 47% 34% 19% 42% 40% 41% 40% 35% 34% 33% 34% 23% 26% 26% 26% 1H H H H H
6 Virtualization reaches mainstream. While the pace of adoption has slowed over the last 6 months, virtualization continues to grow among SMBs and has increased 18% over the last year. In the next 6 months, 13% of respondents state they plan to start virtualizing. Adoption of Virtualization Over Time 77% FROM THE COMMUNITY 44% Current Usage Planned Usage (in next 6 months) 52% 54% 61% 64% Any environment with more than 2 to 4 servers is a good virtualization candidate. If you re installing more than one critical app on any of those servers, then you are a GREAT virtualization candidate. ITSlave Spiceworks User community.spiceworks.com 1H H H H H H
7 SMBs deepen reliance on virtualization. While overall adoption of virtualization has slowed down in the last 6 months, companies who are virtualizing have increased the number of application categories virtualized from 2.1 to 3.1 in the last year. In addition, a quarter of those respondents currently virtualizing plan to virtualize additional application categories in the next 6 months with core applications and common infrastructure as the top applications to be virtualized. 64% of SMBs Virtualize Today Application Categories Today and Planned for the Next 6 Months (by those Virtualizing Today) 25% PLAN TO VIRTUALIZE IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS Current Usage Planned Usage (in next 6 months) 8% 8% 10% 81% 8% 74% 9% 66% 68% 58% Average Number of Application Categories Virtualized Over Time 1H H H / MESSAGING ACTIVE DIRECTORY/ LDAP/AUTHENTICATION COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE (DNS, DHCP, WSUS, ETC.) CORE APPLICATIONS (WEB SERVERS, DATABASES, ETC.) OTHER 7
8 Cloud adoption steadies but outlook remains strong. Forty-eight percent of respondents are using cloud services today. While this measure shows a 4% increase over the last 6 months, the rate of adoption is much slower than the 64% increase from 1H 2011 to 2H The good news is anticipation for IT pros to adopt cloud services in the next 6 months remains strong at 62%. Cloud Adoption Over Time Current Usage Planned Usage (in next 6 months) 62% FROM THE COMMUNITY 46% 48% Cloud is a fairly nebulous term to many people and it covers a lot, but aside from a physical device and an Internet connection to get to the data or services there is nothing that requires it to be local. Every service can be put in the cloud. 14% 28% Alex3031 Spiceworks User community.spiceworks.com 2H H H H H
9 Services in the cloud...or not. Share of hosted vs. on-premise services remains consistent to the previous six months with web and hosting topping the list of cloud-based services used by SMBs. While data backup/recovery, application hosting and data storage are part of the top 6 cloud-based solutions used today, they are also the top 3 solutions IT pros plan to add in the next 6 months. Sixty-five percent or more of respondents have no plans to use cloud-based services for logistics management, VoIP and security indicating that IT pros prefer to keep these technologies on-premise. To p I T S e r v i c e s Current Usage In the Cloud Web Hosting Hosting Content Filtering 32% 11% 25% 17% 24% 8% Application Hosting 23% 12% Data Backup/Recovery Data Storage Planned Usage (in next 6 months) 49% 8% 19% 12% No Plans (in next 6 months) Not in the Cloud Logistics Management VoIP Security Ecommerce CRM 73% 66% 65% 64% 63% 9
10 SMBs love their tablets. In 1H % of SMBs report they are using tablets for business up from 33% in 2H By company size, 53% of SMBs with 250 or more employees are using tablets today vs. 40% of SMBs with less than 20 employees. But these smallest of the small plan to catch up in the next 6 months with 22% planning to adopt tablets during this time.

11 BYOD trend is here to stay but IT pros have mixed opinions. One trend we keep hearing about is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). To understand how IT pros are dealing with this trend we explored this topic further. Results show this trend is here to stay with 75% of respondents currently managing personal devices for employees. Twenty percent of IT pros fully embrace BYOD and another 35% believe it works well for some devices. The remaining 45% have mixed feelings and either believe it is a headache for their department or haven t formed an opinion yet. BYOD in SMBs Attitudes toward Managing BYOD Devices 25% 20% 35% 25% 20% FROM THE COMMUNITY 75% Fully embrace this trend since this is the future Works well for some devices, not so well for others It s a headache for our department Haven t formed an opinion yet There are opportunities (for BYOD), just have to have the infrastructure in place to support the actual work.
