New report illustrates need for hybrid cloud solution enabling consistent operations across multiple clouds
A new report from Nutanix shows that businesses need the flexibility to use multiple clouds but the lack of consistent operations hinders them .
Nutanix , a leader in enterprise
cloud computing , has announced findings of a new report analyzing key challenges and opportunities with hybrid cloud adoption . While most see hybrid cloud as the ideal IT model , the report showed that many struggle to adopt it – with 70 % of organizations believing that their transformation is taking longer than expected .
However , the goal is clear : nearly all respondents ( 95 %) think their organization would benefit from an optimal hybrid implementation providing consistent IT constructs and operations across multiple clouds , eliminating many of the challenges they currently face ranging from operational silos to staffing shortages .
As businesses everywhere struggle to adapt to a new reality , one thing is becoming even clearer : flexibility is crucial to business success .
Whether enterprises need to leverage public cloud to deliver remote desktops quickly , consolidate Disaster Recovery sites , move workloads to a private cloud to stave off public cloud capacity concerns or take advantage of on demand capacity bursting , the current global situation has emphasized the need for an adaptable IT infrastructure for many businesses . But flexibility no longer means using both public and private clouds – it means having a consistent experience , tooling and operational practices across multiple clouds to dramatically simplify the ability to move applications and data to the most appropriate cloud environment .
“ Today , modern organizations need to lead with flexibility , and a critical aspect of this is decentralizing resources to make them more readily available ,” said Aaron White , Regional Sales Director at Nutanix . “ By using multiple clouds , whether public , private or at the edge , businesses can simply bring their IT infrastructure where it is most needed . But , as we saw in the research , this flexibility is only possible with consistent constructs , operations and tooling across multiple clouds , making a hybrid cloud environment ideal .”
The report , commissioned by Nutanix and created by independent market research firm , Vanson Bourne , analyzed key challenges businesses are currently facing when managing both public and private cloud infrastructures . The company surveyed 650 IT decision-makers from multiple industries , business sizes and geographies in the Americas ; Europe , the Middle East , Africa ( EMEA ) and Asia-Pacific and Japan ( APJ ) regions .
Businesses are looking for flexibility . It ’ s no longer a choice between private and public or between different public cloud providers . Organizations need a solution providing consistent experience , tooling and operational practices across multiple clouds to address many of the challenges and operational inefficiencies they ’ re currently facing . An optimal hybrid cloud environment provides the consistency they need to take advantage of the full flexibility of multiple clouds , whether private or public . •
