For even the smallest organizations, staying competitive requires digital transformations that require at least the modernization and often the replacement of legacy technologies.
To meet today’s ever-expanding range of digital needs, cloud capabilities are available in many flavors as enterprises move into a cloud-first mode that includes working with two or more cloud providers — something that 81% of public cloud users say they’re already doing.
If you’re boosting your IT staffing this year, you’re not alone: more than one in five small companies and nearly 40% of large companies are increasing IT staff in 2019.
Three unstoppable forces have generated very challenging crosscurrents that are disrupting or unsettling your clients’ IT operations.
How you help your clients navigate these crosscurrents will shape the future of their businesses:
How many sites do your clients’ networks link? For many, it’s as many as three or four or more. And too often the multiple locations where their data resides are subject to critical network dependencies easily perturbed in such deeply interconnected environments.
This likely explains why there was a 68% jump between 2017 and 2018 in the rate that network errors triggered unplanned downtime.
By 2025, 80% of enterprises will give up their on-premises data centers and move workloads to colocation and/or cloud and managed services.
As your clients’ business requirements drive how they choose which workloads to place where, they face decisions centered around how much control they need over their servers and their data. Odds are that’s when you’ll hear from them.
