HYBRID CLOUD FUTURE

APPS BACK ON PREM
A new report reveals enterprises to standardise on hybrid cloud
model for security and flexibility requirements.
N
utanix, a leader in enterprise
cloud computing, has announced
the findings of its second global
Enterprise Cloud Index survey and research
report, which measures enterprise progress
with adopting private, hybrid and public
clouds. 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.
For the second consecutive year, Vanson
Bourne conducted research on behalf of
Nutanix to learn about the state of global
enterprise cloud deployments and adoption
plans. The researcher surveyed 2,650 IT
decision-makers in 24 countries around the
world about where they’re running their
business applications today, where they
plan to run them in the future, what their

cloud challenges are and how their cloud
initiatives stack up against other IT projects
and priorities.
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.
The report illustrated that creating and
executing a cloud strategy has become a
multi-dimensional challenge. At one time,
a primary value proposition associated
with the public cloud was substantial
upfront capex savings. Now, enterprises
have discovered that there are other
considerations when selecting the best cloud
for the business as well and that one size
cloud strategy doesn’t fit all use cases.
For example, while applications with
unpredictable usage may be best suited
to the public clouds offering elastic IT
