50% of respondents cited efficiency as the top motivator for cloud investments.

Increased security is the second most important business driver for organizations investing in cloud computing, with 48% of respondents citing it as a key factor in their investment.

Resilience is also a primary driver of cloud computing investments for 40% of companies.

86% of respondents said their organzation has adopted a hybrid or multi cloud approach to cloud deployments.

As a result, many are grappling with complexities traditionally associated with hybrid cloud environments, such as data and workloads being located across a range of cloud and non-cloud infrastructures.

Of those respondents, the top challenges cited in managing their environments include control and governance of access to cloud environments; a clear mechanism to detect and respond to security threats across all environments; and the ability to efficiently meet requirements of compliance audits.
