Only 40% of IT teams have complet visibility into where their data resides according to a survey of 1,450 IT decision maker for the fifth global Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report from Nutanix
The report attributes this failing to th diversification of cloud deployments, wit 60% of IT teams now leveraging more tha one IT infrastructure, be it a mix of private and public clouds, multiple public cloud or an on-premises datacentre and hosted datacentre. This figure is expected to grow to 74% in the near future.
When Nutanix conducted the ECI in 2018, well over half of respondents said they envisaged one day running all workloads exclusively in either a private cloud or the public cloud. Now, rather than seeking to consolidate on a particular infrastructure or IT operating model, most enterprises are embracing a hybrid model where they run workloads across public cloud, on-premises and at the edge.
This, it suggests, is creating the need for a single, unified control plane to manage applications and data across diverse environments. The survey highlights a desire to tackle cloud costs, with 85% citing them as a challenging IT management issue. Nearly half of respondents (46%) plan to repatriate some applications to onpremises datacentres to mitigate cloud costs in the year ahead.
