Optimizing Workload Placement in Your Hybrid Cloud
In early 2020, IDC performed in-depth primary research on how organizations determine workload placement as they evolve through DX and what implications this has for modernized infrastructure objectives and strategies. Key findings include:
-
Modernized infrastructure is viewed as a critical determinant of DX success by 91.1% of organizations, with roughly 70% of them involved in server, storage, and/or data protection refresh over the next two years.
-
95.7% of organizations have an executive mandate to leverage cloud technologies, and over half (53.8%) have an executive mandate to support hybrid cloud environments.
-
The top considerations in determining workload placement between traditional on-premises and private and public cloud included security, performance, ease of management, availability, cost, compliance, agility, usage patterns, and data gravity.
