NetApp Survey shows organizations continue to prioritize cloud optimization
A key trend surfaced in the report highlighted that while companies continue to accelerate cloud adoption , many do not believe they are effectively optimizing their infrastructure .
Businesses are addressing this through the development of internal programs such as Cloud Centers of Excellence ( CCoEs ) and FinOps , cloud purchase commitments , tools and external help such as managed service providers .
While several respondents indicated that they are still maturing in these areas , those that have successfully deployed and scaled programs report improved agility , efficiency and governance in their cloud journey .
NetApp has announced the results of the annual Cloud
Infrastructure Report based on a survey of public cloud business and IT decision makers .
The report from Spot by NetApp , continuing the annual survey previously conducted by CloudCheckr following its acquisition by NetApp , highlights the current state of cloud management and how organizations are working to optimize their environments .
“ The results highlight that while companies have rapidly adopted cloud , IT continues to look for ways to increase the value and ROI of its cloud investments ,” said Anthony Lye , Executive Vice President and General Manager , Public Cloud Services at NetApp .
“ Organizations also make it clear that cloud cost , security , automation and resource optimization will remain key concerns . Cloud-centric companies most likely to succeed will implement the right strategies , technology solutions and partner relationships to help manage costs and reduce complexity .”
