Eran Kirzner, co-founder and CEO, Lightbits Labs, Ltd., writes. "Having spent more than a decade serving in tech with roles in engineering management, networking, software, and storage I have a unique perspective on trends in cloud storage..."
I speak with many business leaders who are shifting their data management strategy and adopting a cloud-first approach, whether it's the public cloud, on-premises, or hybrid cloud implementation, organizations see the value that cloud architecture delivers in terms of resiliency, efficiency, and pay-as-you-go Opex models.
Industry research supports this trend, with the rate of end-user spending on public cloud services increasing steadily since 2017. Gartner research indicates that CSPs offering specialized platforms will continue to proliferate solving customer challenges by offering customized services tailored to geographic regions. More Gartner research predicts that 35% of data center infrastructure will be managed from a cloud-based control plane by 2027, up from 10% in 2022.
