“Less reliance on the data centre and more focus on the capabilities provided by saas delivery of applications and services clearly drives increased spending and consumption”

CLOUD TECHNOLOGY & WFH

When businesses must be able to effectively manage new and increasing endpoints, all offsite and with potentially limited IT resources, with all of their inherent security, patching, configuration, privileges, application needs, and more — it’s a direct line to increased cloud technology needs. Adding to that the absolute requirement for effective communication and collaboration tools to temporarily (or in some cases, permanently) replace in-person meetings and onsite team collaboration, and the need for cloud only expands and becomes more critical.

ADOPTION OF HYBRID MULTICLOUD AS OPERATING MODELS

Today’s businesses must look for the most flexible and effective options to achieve their digital transformation initiatives, and for many, hybrid cloud will allow a multipronged approach to support their business, technology, and service reliability requirements without the limitations of a single provider or reliance on only public or private cloud. Public cloud options like AWS offer high reliability and lower costs, but resources are shared. Private cloud offers control and scalability, but at a cost. By balancing these two options and choosing vendors based on need and use case, enterprises may get the best of all worlds.

INCREASE IN ENTERPRISE SPEND IN 2021

In addition to estimated growth in cloud spending of up to 23%, including cloud-based enterprise applications, we are also seeing increased focus on data and analytics, customer and employee experience (including remote work infrastructure), and security and risk management-all made more urgent in response to the pandemic. Less reliance on the data centre and more focus on the capabilities provided by SaaS delivery of applications and services clearly drives increased spending and consumption.
