Nutanix has announced the public sector findings of its fifth annual Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey, which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption.
The research reveals that public sector organisations plan to accelerate their hybrid multi-cloud deployments nearly five-fold over the next three years. Overall, public sector respondents expect to increase their general use of mixed IT infrastructure to 73%.
Cybersecurity and data sovereignty – the ability to comply with national rules for data storage and control tied as the top criterion, at 13% each. The overriding driver of application movement in the past year was to improve data security. Nearly all respondents in the global public sector (98%) indicated that they had moved applications between IT infrastructures in the past 12 months, and 47% cited a desire to improve their company’s security posture or their ability to meet regulatory requirements as a reason. www.nutanix.com
