The use of hybrid multicloud models is forecasted to double over the next one to three years as IT decision makers are facing new pressures to modernize IT infrastructures because of drivers like AI, security, and sustainability, according to Nutanix.

"Whether it be because of AI, sustainability, or security imperatives, IT organizations are facing ever-increasing pressure to modernize their IT infrastructure quickly," said Lee Caswell, SVP, Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix.

"80% of respondents are planning to invest in IT modernization, with 85% planning to increase their investments specifically to support AI. What this year's report reveals is that organizations need to support the technologies of tomorrow by future proofing their IT infrastructure today. Hybrid multicloud continues to emerge as the infrastructure standard of choice because of the flexibility it provides to support traditional VM and modern containerized applications and movement between clouds and on-prem," added Caswell.

80% of organizations believe hybrid IT environments are most beneficial to their ability to manage applications and data.

Unlike in the previous report, where action was limited, many organizations indicate they are already taking active steps to implement sustainability initiatives, with the most common being modernizing IT infrastructure.

In order to mitigate and overcome this challenge, organizations are prioritizing IT modernization and edge infrastructure deployments, which can facilitate faster processing and access to data.
