Companies are adopting multiple cloud platforms to support an acceleration of application modernization, building new cloud-native applications and greater infrastructure efficiency. Each enterprise needs to determine the cloud infrastructure that will best meet their business needs. However, in any case, the complexity of a growing cloud portfolio must be addressed in any cloud-based strategy. Cloud complexity stems from using: different infrastructure across private and public cloud platforms; a current state of highly distributed and fragmented data; and inconsistently defined security policies. As a result, users of multiple cloud platforms require specialized knowledge of each platform. To find the right mix, enterprises must match the right app to the right compute type and environment within the bounds of their overall strategy, while also maintaining security, increasing performance, and keeping costs in check.
We found that enterprises are turning to services partners as part of their cloud strategy, especially when it comes to handling migration and addressing skills shortages. They are also seeking cloud tools that simplify multi-cloud operations and aggressively evaluating multiple container-based development platforms.
In June 2019, IBM commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the key factors that will determine where and how enterprises currently build and run workloads on different cloud platforms, and where those workloads will live in two years. Forrester conducted an online survey with 315 IT, enterprise architecture, and development decision makers to explore this topic. To read more, please download this whitepaper…
