The 2019 Enterprise Cloud Index Report from Nutanix reveals
hybrid cloud adoption by companies in UAE will increase from
the current 7% to 51% in three to five years.
Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud
computing, has announced the
UAE-specific findings of its annual
Enterprise Cloud Index. The latest (2019)
Index shows that the majority of enterprises
in the United Arab Emirates (97%) agree
that the hybrid cloud model, which will
ultimately afford dynamic choice about
where to run each workload, is the ideal IT
environment going forward and that it is
also viewed as the most secure option.
UAE, though, has one of the lowest
percentages of hybrid cloud usage today
and its projections of hybrid cloud growth
24 months out lag EMEA and global
expectations. UAE respondents, however,
report plans to catch up with the rest of the
world within three to five years, when they
project hybrid cloud penetration of 51%
– well in line with what companies in other
countries expect to be running at that time.
Perhaps as an interim step to hybrid cloud,
UAE companies currently deploy far more
workloads and applications on private cloud
than any other platform and do so more
than most other countries.
