Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud computing, has announced the findings of its second global Enterprise Cloud Index <\/em>survey and research report, which measures enterprise progress with adopting private, hybrid and public clouds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new report found enterprises plan to aggressively shift investment to hybrid cloud architectures, with respondents reporting steady and substantial hybrid deployment plans over the next five years. The vast majority of 2019 survey respondents (85%) selected hybrid cloud as their ideal IT operating model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second\nconsecutive year, Vanson Bourne conducted research on behalf of Nutanix to\nlearn about the state of global enterprise cloud deployments and adoption\nplans. The researcher surveyed 2,650 IT decision-makers in 24 countries around\nthe world about where they\u2019re running their business applications today, where\nthey plan to run them in the future, what their cloud challenges are and how\ntheir cloud initiatives stack up against other IT projects and priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2019 respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes and the following geographies: the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and the Asia-Pacific (APJ) region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s\nreport illustrated that creating and executing a cloud strategy has become a\nmulti-dimensional challenge. At one time, a primary value proposition\nassociated with the public cloud was substantial upfront capex savings. Now,\nenterprises have discovered that there are other considerations when selecting\nthe best cloud for the business as well and that one size cloud strategy\ndoesn\u2019t fit all use cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example,\nwhile applications with unpredictable usage may be best suited to the public\nclouds offering elastic IT resources, workloads with more predictable\ncharacteristics can often run on-premises at a lower cost than public cloud.\nSavings are also dependent on businesses\u2019 ability to match each application to\nthe appropriate cloud service and pricing tier, and to remain diligent about\nregularly reviewing service plans and fees, which change frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this\never-changing environment, flexibility is essential and a hybrid cloud provides\nthis choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other key\nfindings from the report include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Apps are migrating away from the public cloud back to on-premises infrastructures<\/strong>.<\/em> Nearly three-fourths (73%) of respondents reported that they are moving some applications off the public cloud and back on prem and 22% of those users are moving five or more applications. These moves underscore, in part, enterprises\u2019 need for hybrid cloud\u2019s flexibility in allowing them to adapt their infrastructures based on their fluctuating requirements. <\/li>
  2. Security remains the biggest factor impacting enterprises\u2019 future cloud strategies.<\/strong> Well over half of 2019 respondents (60%) said that the state of security among clouds would have the biggest influence on their cloud deployment plans going forward. Similarly, data security and compliance represented the top variable (26%) in determining where an enterprise runs a given workload. <\/li>
  3. IT professionals deem the hybrid cloud the most secure of all the IT operating models.<\/strong> More than a quarter of respondents (28%) picked the hybrid model as the most secure \u2013 substantially surpassing those who chose a fully private cloud\/on-prem model (21%) and more than twice as many as those who chose traditional (non-cloud-enabled) private data centres (13%). One reason for this is perhaps because enterprises can select the right cloud for their security requirements.<\/li>
  4. Nearly a quarter (23.5%) of respondents currently aren\u2019t leveraging any cloud technology today. <\/strong>Many companies still fall behind when it comes to enterprise cloud adoption. However, respondents\u2019 reported plans indicate that in one year\u2019s time, the number of enterprises with no cloud deployments will plummet to 6.5% and in two years\u2019 time will drop by more than half to 3%. Regionally, the Americas reported a slightly lower incidence of non-cloud use (21%) compared to EMEA (25%) and APJ (24%).<\/li>
  5. Enterprises are striving to integrate cloud computing with their Digital Transformation goals.<\/strong> Nearly three-quarters (72%) of 2019 respondents said Digital Transformation was driving their cloud implementations and 64% said that Digital Transformation was the top business priority in their organisations. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cAs\norganisations continue to grapple with complex Digital Transformation initiatives,\nflexibility and security are critical components to enable seamless and\nreliable cloud adoption,\u201d said Wendy M. Pfeiffer, CIO of Nutanix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe enterprise has progressed in its understanding and\nadoption of hybrid cloud, but there is still work to do when it comes to\nreaping all of its benefits. In the next few years, we\u2019ll see businesses\nrethinking how to best utilise hybrid cloud, including hiring for hybrid computing\nskills and reskilling IT teams to keep up with emerging technologies.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cCloud computing has become an integral part of business\nstrategy, but it has introduced several challenges along with it,”\nsaid Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President of Infrastructure Systems, Platforms\nand Technologies at IDC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “These\ninclude security and application performance concerns and high cost. As the\n2019 Enterprise Cloud Index report demonstrates, hybrid cloud will continue to\nbe the best option for enterprises, enabling them to securely meet\nmodernisation and agility requirements for workloads.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
