A Hornetsecurity hybrid cloud adoption survey of 900+ IT professionals primarily based in North America and Europe found that 93% of businesses are adopting a hybrid of cloud and on-premise solutions or migrating fully to the cloud within 5 years.

While 29% of respondents said they are using hybrid cloud solutions as a steppingstone to a full cloud environment, 67% of respondents see hybrid as a final destination for their infrastructure due to workloads that must remain on premise.

The hybrid cloud adoption survey also found that trust issues with the public cloud are present within companies of all sizes, with 31-36% of all surveyed company size categories reporting concerns.

Half of all respondents mentioned legacy systems or software as another major reason certain workloads must remain on premise, while application compatibility was reported as a roadblock to cloud migration for 4 in 10 companies.

The survey reveals that hybrid cloud solutions still present several challenges.

47% of respondents who form part of internal IT teams reported that they see their workloads mostly in the cloud in 5 years, versus 52% of respondents whose company uses MSP services, and 54% of respondents that work at MSPs. Internal IT departments report a lack of trust in cloud services at almost the same rate as those using MSP services, with 34% and 33% respectively.
