Nutanix<\/a> (NASDAQ: NTNX<\/a>), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, announced the findings of its sixth global Enterprise Cloud Index<\/a> (ECI) survey and research report, which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption. The majority of Saudi Arabia respondents in this year\u2019s ECI study (70%) say their organization takes a cloud-smart approach to IT infrastructure strategy, which involves leveraging the best IT environment for each of their applications. Furthermore, 81% of Saudi Arabia respondents say their organizations would benefit most from a hybrid environment encompassing both public and private clouds. This high preference for deploying applications across a mix of IT environments will have an important influence on IT solution and services implementation in Saudi Arabia over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDue to imperatives such as AI, sustainability, and security, organizations are increasingly under pressure to rapidly modernize their IT infrastructure,\u201d said Talal Alsaif, Sales Director, Central Gulf & Egypt at Nutanix. \u201cThis year’s ECI findings highlight the importance for Saudi organizations to future-proof their IT infrastructure today in order to accommodate tomorrow’s technologies. Hybrid multicloud is steadily becoming the preferred infrastructure standard due to its flexibility in supporting both traditional VM and modern containerized applications, as well as enabling seamless movement between clouds and on-premises setups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regard to investment priorities, 78% of Saudia Arabia respondents say they plan to increase investment in IT and cloud staff. This is indicative of continued adoption of cloud infrastructure solutions, as well as the need to modernize and optimize IT solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
