Cloud diversity creating enormous complexity
Nutanix announced the findings of its Fifth Global Enterprise Cloud Index Survey and research report , which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption . This year ’ s ECI showed that IT infrastructure is increasingly diverse with organisations challenged with integrating data management and control . The research showed that most IT teams leverage more than one IT infrastructure , a trend that ’ s expected to intensify in the future , but struggle with visibility of data across environments with only 40 % reporting complete visibility into where their data resides .
In 2018 , well over half of respondents said they envisioned running all workloads exclusively in either a private cloud or the public cloud one day . Rather than working to consolidate on a particular infrastructure or IT operating model , as seemed desirable in 2018 , most enterprises now see the inevitability , and even benefits , of running workloads across public cloud , on-premises and at the edge .
The goal for organisations now is to make this hybrid operating model more efficient , especially when managing IT environments across the edge to the core . The growing level of diversity in cloud deployments creates enormous complexity in managing application ’ s data across cloud environments .
Enterprises are challenged to simplify and integrate the mixed infrastructures for both their applications and data .
Comprehensive tools that allow organisations to provision , move , manage , monitor , and secure applications and data from a single console in a uniform manner is a growing priority for IT . Nearly all respondents say they ’ d benefit from having a single , unified control plane to manage applications and data across diverse environments .
