As Gartner’s public cloud forecast illustrates, by 2026, 75% of organizations will adopt a digital transformation model predicated on cloud as the fundamental underlying platform, with much of this currently dominated by the big public cloud providers. The question is, will this last? While the COVID-19 pandemic had a lot to do with the acceleration in public cloud adoption, today there are new pressures on enterprises that are re-shaping cloud strategy in favor of the hybrid approach. According to Olivier Frank, General Manager Data Solutions EMEA at HPE, the picture is becoming more complex. Many of those businesses that rushed to adopt public cloud from hyperscalers are now having to face up to the fact that mission critical apps, such as ERP, are better served through on-prem or co-location providers operating as-a-service platform models. Times have changed and this is being reflected in how organizations are now reevaluating IT infrastructure.
