While public cloud momentum has been building for more than a decade, there is still a sizeable footprint of on-premises applications and workloads. Presented with this opportunity, many IT leaders are looking for ways to modernize their own data centers by making them more cloud-like. What technologies will be the likeliest targets for investment as organizations look to accelerate this conversion process in the coming 12 months and beyond?

In 2019, ESG conducted a research study to better understand enterprise storage buying drivers and challenges across both on- and off-premises cloud environments. This was a quantitative web-based survey covering 372 IT and storage professionals responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and managing data storage technology—including external disk-based storage systems—for their organization.
The objectives for this research included investigating trends in storage for both on- and off-premises environments; storage challenges for file, block, and cloud-based technologies; on-premises technologies such as flash, NVMe, NVMe-oF, and SDS; and the differences between high and low data growth organizations.

The rapid adoption of containers to support modern application environments is having a significant impact on IT and the underlying technology. This is especially true for the network team, where container adoption is impacting existing network architectures and creating new challenges. As is the case with most transitions, there is a temptation to resist change, but as time and previous technology transformations have demonstrated, these changes must be embraced. Organizations need to ensure that the network is in a position to accelerate the adoption of new technologies.

Hybrid has become the de facto cloud strategy for most organizations and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. At the same time, there is a lot of discussion in the market regarding modern or cloud-native application environments as organizations look to shift from infrastructure-focused to application-centric management, but what is the reality of container environments in enterprises? ESG research confirms that not only has the adoption of containers been steady—and will continue to be—but also that this usage will play an increasing role in supporting production application environments.
