Contributed ArticleREGIONAL TRANSFORMATION OUTLOOK 2019
The cloud divide that currently exists is forcing organisations to compromise. This is no small compromise either; infrastructure underpins every business and needs to be able to respond to the unique demands placed upon it. At present the public cloud is not purpose-built for enterprise needs, and enterprise-grade storage is not as user-friendly, agile or scalable as public cloud.
The problems facing modern enterprises are complex and the challenges of moving data between public cloud and on-premise solutions need to be ironed out. In 2019 we will see more robust and unified multi-cloud solutions that provide both the flexibility and simplicity that organisations need when bridging this divide.
The arrival of a truly hybrid architecture will create an environment that allows enterprises to combine the agility and simplicity of the public cloud with the enterprise functionality of on-premises. In this hybrid cloud world applications can be developed once and deployed seamlessly across owned and rented clouds, giving customers the flexibility to turn data into value wherever that data resides.
Key takeaways
- The challenges of moving data between public cloud and on-premise solutions need to be ironed out.
- In 2019 we will see unified multi-cloud solutions provide flexibility that organisations need.
