The research showed that the majority of IT teams leverage more than one IT infrastructure, a trend that's expected to intensify in the future, but struggle with visibility of data across environments with only 40% reporting complete visibility into where their data resides.

"Organizations are grappling with current application and data management across the edge, different clouds and in the core. There's a need in the market for a cloud operating model to help build, operate, use, and govern a hybrid multicloud to support all types of applications - starting today and planning for tomorrow," Caswell continued.

In 2018, well over half of respondents said they envisioned running all workloads exclusively in either a private cloud or the public cloud one day.

The growing level of diversity in cloud deployments creates enormous complexity in managing application data across cloud environments.

Data is driving infrastructure decisions for enterprises, with data security, protection and recovery, and sovereignty topping the list of key drivers.

Among respondents, 85% consider cloud cost a challenging IT management issue, and more than 34% rank it a "Significant" challenge.
