Cloud first is dead—cloud smart is what's happening now
Not every application is meant for the cloud. Enterprises need to make optimal use of their on-prem infrastructure at the same time they leverage the benefits of public cloud.
What is the shift from cloud first to cloud smart?
The shift from 'cloud first' to 'cloud smart' reflects a growing recognition that not every application is suitable for the cloud. Organizations are now focusing on optimizing their on-premises infrastructure while also leveraging the benefits of public cloud services. This hybrid approach allows enterprises to maintain flexibility, optimize costs, and enhance their IT capabilities.
Why is hybrid cloud becoming the preferred architecture?
Hybrid cloud is gaining traction as the default IT architecture because it offers the flexibility to utilize existing on-premises infrastructure while also taking advantage of cloud benefits. More than three-quarters of enterprises now use multiple cloud providers, and one-third have over 50% of their workloads in the cloud. This approach helps organizations manage costs, improve performance, and address growing processing needs, especially with advancements like AI.
What are the risks of improper cloud migration?
Improper cloud migration can lead to significant challenges, including negative ROI and inefficient solutions. Organizations may end up moving the wrong workloads to the cloud, resulting in wasted resources and the need to backtrack. Without careful planning and communication between infrastructure and software teams, companies risk falling behind as data continues to grow, hindering their ability to achieve desired business outcomes.
