Forrester: Tips For Assessing Hybrid Cloud Management
ComputerWeekly, Monday, March 4th, 2024
Cloud-native works for new workloads, but legacy IT needs a different approach, which is why IT leaders rely on hybrid cloud deployments
As more companies adopt public cloud, most choose a hybrid cloud strategy. This is because legacy workloads and applications aren't always well suited for cloud without modernisation.
According to Forrester's Private Cloud Market Insights, 2022, 87% of global cloud decision-makers say their organisations deploy enterprise IT workloads on public cloud, private cloud and in datacentre hosting facilities. The research found that a hybrid strategy is not easy to manage, because a static on-premise environment doesn't align well with the dynamically changing cloud environment. This means companies can get lost in consistent management across on-premise and public cloud workloads.
