Australian companies are adopting multiple cloud platforms more enthusiastically than those in any other country, according to new research that has also flagged major deficiencies in the skills to manage them and questioned the wisdom of companies putting all their eggs in the one proverbial basket.
Fully 39 per cent of Australian companies, surveyed by Vanson Bourne for Nutanix’s latest Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey, said they had adopted multi-cloud solutions – which combine several public and private cloud platforms.
That figure is expected to increase to 66 per cent this year, as companies double down on digital-transformation initiatives that were accelerated during the pandemic.
