WORLD.
UAE has one of today’s lowest
penetrations of traditional data centres
(40%) in the world. This may actually be a
positive since companies in the region will
not have so far to go in decommissioning
data centres in favour of more attractive IT
models such as hybrid cloud.
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index is based
on research conducted by Vanson Bourne
to learn about the state of global enterprise
cloud deployments and adoption plans. The
research surveyed 2,650 IT decision-makers
in 24 countries around the world, exploring
where organisations currently run their
business applications and where they plan
to run them in the future. It also questioned
respondents on their cloud challenges and
where their cloud initiatives sit against other
IT projects and priorities.
Key findings from the report include:
1. UAE companies are fully participating
in the trend to repatriate public cloud
workloads. Like many organisations, UAE
companies have initiatives underway to
move applications out of the public cloud
and on to premises’ infrastructure. Far more
UAE companies (92%) are repatriating
applications than elsewhere in the world
where the global average is 73%.
