Gartner: By 2028, 70% Of Workloads Will Run In A Cloud Computing Environment
TechRepublic, Wednesday, November 29,2023
According to Gartner, the next wave of cloud computing will see even more complicated workloads migrated over, plus new options and requirements for cloud customers.
While many enterprises still see the cloud as a useful way of providing additional capacity over the next few years, they'll come to see it as a source of innovation and by 2028 most will see it as a necessity, according to Gartner analysts.
Part of that will be the result of the conversion or rewriting of legacy applications - perhaps running on mainframes or legacy mid-range systems - to make them ready for the cloud age. At its recent IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies conference in London, analyst firm Gartner said that by 2028, these modernization efforts will result in 70% of tech workloads running in a cloud environment, up from just 25% today.
