Research Brief: Cloud-native Application Trends for 2023

by Paul Nashawaty, on Mar 21, 2023

Abstract:

The 2023 Technology Spending Intentions Survey from Enterprise Strategy Group indicates that organizations focused on rapidly developing and deploying cloud-native applications use DevOps and agile software development methodologies more frequently than others. This implies that being cloud-native is as much about embracing iterative methodologies as it is about the technology. The survey findings also suggest that an organization’s use of cloud-native applications and its level of adoption of agile methodologies can have a substantial impact on its digital transformation journey and maturity.

ESG Brief: Cloud-native Application Strategies Are Becoming More Common in Conjunction with Ubiquitous Public Cloud Use

by Paul Nashawaty, on Aug 30, 2022

Abstract:

Organizations continue to look for ways to modernize their heritage production applications. Most are employing cloud-native application strategies with multiple public cloud providers. They'll need unified microservices architectures to achieve the application portability that is essential in managing multiple clouds in hybrid models where on-premises apps still play important roles and to lay the foundation for an entirely cloud-first future.

ESG Brief: The Value of Modern Application Architectures Is Recognized, Though Challenges Persist

by Paul Nashawaty, on Aug 30, 2022

Abstract:

Understanding the benefits and challenges of developing and deploying cloud-native applications is key to success. Security, integration, and the developer skills gap are among the biggest microservices hurdles, while developer velocity, app portability, and infrastructure independence lead the list of advantages.

ESG Brief: ESG Brief: Cloud-native Transition Is Dependent on Iterative Methodologies

by Paul Nashawaty, on Aug 1, 2022

Abstract:

The clear path to cloud-native applications is to use modern methodologies such as DevOps and agile development on modern application platforms and "developer-ready" infrastructure. However, the self-reported maturity of organizations in their use of modern methodologies is not substantiated by development KPIs, such as hourly code production, and most are hobbled by an IT skills gap. Choosing the right platform and building internal skills are critical in implementing the development methodologies needed for successful cloud-native deployments.

ESG Research Report: Cloud-native Applications

by Paul Nashawaty, on May 6, 2022

Abstract:

Today’s businesses are evolving rapidly to meet the demands of their customers, but traditional and heritage applications often do not meet the requirements. IT organizations are trying to keep their businesses running while migrating to new, modern approaches to advance the business into the future. Many organizations are taking a “cloud-first” approach to their digital transformation initiatives, which requires building, maintaining, and operating a developer-ready infrastructure without impacting developer velocity.

To understand cloud-native application trends, including bridging the gap between container development, Kubernetes, and IT operations through CI/CD pipelines, ESG surveyed 387 IT professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) responsible for evaluating, purchasing, managing, and building application infrastructure.

ESG Research Report: Hyperconverged Infrastructure Trends

by Paul Nashawaty, on Apr 20, 2022

Abstract:

In order to gain insight into how infrastructure is evolving to take on today’s business challenges, ESG surveyed 348 IT decision makers at organizations in North America (US and Canada) responsible for their organization’s on-premises infrastructure, specifically usage of or plans for hyperconverged infrastructure.

Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, and technology.

ESG Brief: Cloud-native Application Trends

by Paul Nashawaty, on Apr 12, 2022

Abstract:

Organizations that currently develop and deploy cloud-native applications use DevOps and agile development processes significantly more than those that don't, suggesting that being cloud-native is as much about iterative methodologies as it is about technology. An organization's use of cloud-native applications and adoption of iterative methodologies, including low code/no code, also strongly correlate to its digital transformation maturity.

ESG Brief: The Growth and Adoption of HCI across the Business Ecosystem

by Paul Nashawaty, on Jan 11, 2022

Abstract:

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which combines compute, storage, and virtualization resources in a single system, continues to grow in popularity as delivery models evolve. Emerging, next-generation HCI solutions that support independently managed resources can be used in conjunction with traditional, clustered HCI to expand the IT ecosystem in a more holistic approach across the entire organization.
