IT Leaders Say Workload And Application Migration Is A Challenge
Techstrong ITSM, Tuesday, August 6th, 2024
Over the past year, 95% of organizations say they moved applications from one environment to another, with security and innovation as the top drivers for the transfer, according to a new report commissioned by Nutanix.
As organizations try to balance security and innovation, application and data movement remain a complex challenge, in part due to the many locations where applications and data can reside. Enterprise workloads, applications and data can be in an on-premises data center, the cloud, a smaller edge location or a mix of all three. The IT environment that is ideal at the start of an enterprise workload venture can quickly become suboptimal as the project's parameters and scope evolve.
Workload and Application Movement is a Challenge
In fact, 85% of survey respondents said they consider workload and app migration a challenge given their current IT infrastructure, and 35% say workload and application migration is a significant challenge. Organizations are thus hesitant to execute complex application migrations. Indeed, 89% of organizations believe moving workloads to a different cloud environment is costly and time-consuming.
