It’s the age of multicloud IT infrastructure. Organizations are increasingly using services from a variety of cloud providers, and in doing so, they are seeking to develop more intentional, cohesive multicloud strategies to avoid potential chaos and out-of-control costs.
Research firm Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud spending will total $723 billion this year, up 21% from 2024. Driving that increase are the use of AI in IT and business operations, expanding cloud use cases, and a rise in distributed, hybrid, cloud-native, and multicloud environments.
Gartner also predicts that 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach through 2027, and that the most urgent generative AI challenge enterprises need to address over the next year will be data synchronization across hybrid and multicloud environments.
