The New Hybrid Multicloud Challenge Is Operating Without An App Delivery And Security Platform
F5, Thursday, April 2nd, 2026
Multicloud, or hybrid if you prefer, has been the norm for years. That part of the story is settled. What is still very much in motion is how organizations distribute applications across those environments and why those shifts matter operationally.
Our latest research shows a portfolio that is nearly evenly split between modern and traditional applications. On average, 53% of enterprise apps are now modern, while 47% remain traditional. That balance alone should put to rest the idea that legacy has disappeared. It has not. It has simply been repositioned.
The more interesting signal is not the mix, but the movement inside it.
