Public cloud transformation activities continues to rise as IT organizations seek to access the benefits of cloud services. Despite years of increased cloud usage, however, cloud migration activities, as well as cloud operations, tend to result in increased cost, complexity, and risk. Effective multi-cloud strategies and capabilities are essential for nearly every organization to achieve their cloud and business objectives.
To gain insight into the state of multi-cloud environments, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) surveyed 350 IT professionals who are personally involved in the purchase process for private cloud infrastructure, public cloud infrastructure, and/or systems management solutions.
This research was intended to understand how the adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud models adds complexity to IT operations and how organizations adapt their strategic approaches in response.
