Technology goes through a consistent cycle of disruption , innovation and reinvention , and these cycles are happening faster than ever before . They are transforming every industry , every region and businesses of all sizes . Trends like multi-cloud , edge and as-a-Service
( aaS ) that we ’ ve been tracking for a long time have been accelerated .
Organizations that operate in an agile fashion are better able to adapt to disruption , while companies burdened by legacy systems and processes will need to catch up quickly . This is the conversation we ’ re having with customers every day , and the Dell innovation engine is hard at work . Together with you , our customers and partners , we are driving human progress and realizing the enormous opportunities in the data era .
A STREAMLINED CLOUD EXPERIENCE The debate between on-premises and off-premises is over — both are required . Today , 76 % of cloud users leverage more than one cloud , public or private , according to the 2021 HashiCorp State of Cloud Strategy Survey , but for most organizations this is by default , driven by the overwhelming influx of data and the need to accelerate digital transformation . The result has been operational complexity and siloed IT environments .
We see a multi-cloud by design approach leading the way that automates the flow of workloads and data across the entire environment . With a single cloud interface and operations , customers can simplify IT while increasing productivity . Our customers want a truly integrated experience and freedom from complexity , so they can focus on the outcomes that matter most to them .
