CIOs are increasingly prioritizing hybrid IT
strategies to manage complexity of running applications and data
across clouds
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing,
announced the findings of its sixth annual Enterprise Cloud Index
(ECI) survey and research report, which measures global enterprise
progress with cloud adoption. This year’s ECI report revealed that
the use of hybrid multicloud models is forecasted to double over
the next one to three years as IT decision makers are facing new
pressures to modernize IT infrastructures because of drivers like
AI, security, and sustainability.
As organizations continue to grapple with the complexities of
moving applications and data across environments, the ECI report
highlighted the growing importance of hybrid multicloud
infrastructure. The report found that security and innovation were
the top drivers for moving applications from one environment to
another over the past year. As AI takes center stage for
businesses, ECI respondents identified increasing investments to
support AI strategy as their #1 priority, followed closely by
investment in IT modernization.
“Whether it be because of AI, sustainability, or security
imperatives, IT organizations are facing ever-increasing pressure
to modernize their IT infrastructure quickly,” said Lee Caswell,
SVP, Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. “80% of ECI
respondents are planning to invest in IT modernization, with 85%
planning to increase their investments specifically to support AI.
What this year’s ECI reveals is that organizations need to support
the technologies of tomorrow by future proofing their IT
infrastructure today. Hybrid multicloud continues to emerge as the
infrastructure standard of choice because of the flexibility it
provides to support traditional VM and modern containerized
applications and movement between clouds and on-prem.”
Key findings from this year’s report include:
- Hybrid multicloud infrastructure deployments will become an
infrastructure standard. 90% of ECI respondents are taking a
“cloud smart” approach to their infrastructure strategy –
leveraging the best environment (e.g., data center, public cloud,
edge) for each of their applications. Given the pervasiveness of
this approach, it is no wonder that hybrid and multicloud
environments have become the de facto infrastructure standard.
Furthermore, over 80% of organizations believe hybrid IT
environments are most beneficial to their ability to manage
applications and data. Most importantly, this is now becoming an
executive priority, with nearly half of respondents noting that
implementing hybrid IT is a top priority for their CIO.
- Ransomware protection is top of mind for both CXOs and
practitioners but most organizations continue to struggle in the
wake of attacks. Ransomware and malware attacks will remain
existential threats to modern enterprises, with the cat-and-mouse
game between malicious actors and enterprise security professionals
set to continue throughout 2024. Yet, data protection and recovery
remain a challenge, as 71% of ECI respondents who experienced a
ransomware attack reported taking days or even weeks to restore
full operations. To help address this, 78% of organizations say
they plan to increase investments in ransomware protection
solutions throughout this year.
- As organizations seek equilibrium driven by security and
innovation, application and data movement remains a complex
challenge. Enterprise workloads – including their applications
and data – often find their way into the IT environment which best
suits their needs, whether that environment is an on-premises data
center, the public cloud, a smaller edge location, or a mix of all
three. This diversity of application placement is part of the
reason why 95% of ECI respondents say they moved applications from
one environment to another over the past year, with security and
innovation as the top drivers for this movement. Enterprises should
expect application and data movement to remain constant, and plan
infrastructure choices accordingly – emphasizing flexibility and
visibility. Today, organizations face significant roadblocks when
it comes to executing complex application migrations, with 35% of
ECI respondents saying workload and application migration is a
significant challenge given their current IT infrastructure.
- IT teams aren’t just planning their sustainability programs,
they are actively implementing them starting with IT
modernization. 88% of ECI respondents agree that sustainability
is a priority for their organization. However, unlike in the
previous report where action was limited, many organizations
indicate they are already taking active steps to implement
sustainability initiatives, with the most common being modernizing
IT infrastructure. This is a fascinating result, and one that shows
the direct impact of IT infrastructure on sustainability.
- Infrastructure modernization is becoming an imperative,
driven by AI, modern applications and data growth. ECI
respondents identified increased investment to support AI strategy
as their #1 priority, followed closely by investment in IT
modernization. Furthermore, 37% of ECI respondents indicate running
AI applications on their current IT infrastructure will be a
“significant” challenge. In order to mitigate and overcome this
challenge, organizations are prioritizing IT modernization and edge
infrastructure deployments, which can facilitate faster processing
and access to data. This, in turn, can help improve their ability
to link data from multiple environments to give better visibility
into where data resides across their sprawling ecosystems
For the sixth consecutive year, Vanson Bourne conducted research
on behalf of Nutanix, surveying 1,500 IT and DevOps/Platform
Engineering decision-makers around the world in December 2023. The
respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and
geographies, including North and South America; Europe, the Middle
East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) region.
