Enterprise companies are migrating workloads to the cloud in order to spend less time on upgrades and achieve the flexibility to add compute power on demand. Companies expect easy and successful migration with reduced time and effort of upgrades by significant amounts. They also want to cut costs but be able to have the power to scale elastically.
In a recent study, Forrester found that over 90% of Enterprises are employeeing multiple environments and over 75% of them are utilizing a hybrid approach that includes on-premise, private and public cloud with “no single platform dominating”. IT faces this tremendous complexity yet still needs to effectively manage and resolve issues quickly and easily.
