The State of Hybrid and Multi Cloud 2024
Each year, independent research firms are commissioned to survey IT leaders and implementers responsible for their organizations’ data protection strategies. One of the most important aspects of this annual research is to understand organizations’ strategies towards hybrid- and multi-cloud architectures as their IT teams endeavor to facilitate their business processes. While the first several months after COVID caused a significant acceleration of cloud adoption, the succeeding four years have shown a relatively consistent distribution of workloads across data centers, private clouds, and multiple public clouds.
For 2024, organizations stated that nearly half of their production workloads run within a public cloud with the rest remaining equally divided between physical servers and virtual machines within their data centers.
