Many organizations use open source analytics and data management technology, which often serves as a foundation of their data-centric technology ecosystems. But deploying and managing open source tools and solutions are a challenge in many cases—a situation that calls for managed services to help ease the challenges and pave the way for increased open source adoption, especially in distributed cloud environments.

Many decision makers are interested in standardizing their analytics initiatives on a single cloud provider’s infrastructure and services. A large majority think their organization would be open to considering such a move. This research highlights what they’d be looking for by doing so—easier management, simplified support, and more. But it also points to a fundamental question: Can one vendor meet all of an organization’s data needs?

Data integration is proving to be more complex in the cloud for a majority of organizations, especially ones that use public cloud services in multi-cloud environments as part of their analytics initiatives. Many are turning to new tools and managed services to help them cope with integration challenges. In a lot of cases, though, they're also moving to decrease the number of vendors they currently use.

Most organizations use technologies from a variety of public cloud and third-party software providers to support their data management and analytics strategy. That complicates ongoing operational management of cloud analytics environments, and multi-cloud deployments exacerbate the challenges—and the headaches they cause. This research highlights what organizations are doing to try to ease the pain without disrupting critical data workflows.

While most IT decision makers believe their organization is doing a good job of acting on data insights, it often takes weeks or months to generate and then act on those insights. There's an opportunity to do better by deploying new technologies and making the data lifecycle more efficient—and organizations that don't address the time-to-value gap may find themselves lagging behind faster and more agile rivals.

As enterprises digitally transform and IT environments become more dispersed across multiple public clouds and on-premises data centers, the process of moving data, applications, and workloads to and from various locations quickly becomes regular practice. Moving just one application to and from a location can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, in most cases requiring a week or more. For large environments, the costs can be significant. As a result, organizations must take a more deliberative, evaluative approach to moving data and applications when migrating to the cloud and across clouds.

Reports of the data center's demise have been grossly exaggerated. On-premises data centers are alive and thriving, with the average number of on-premises locations under management expected to increase over the next five years. The future of the data center, however, will look very different from today. Enterprises in the throes of modernizing their application infrastructure and migrating to the cloud are increasingly realizing they also need a cloud-like experience for on-premises data centers and improved public cloud connectivity with consumption-based procurement models.
