Despite growing buzz in the industry around the acceleration of cloud transformation, most enterprises continue to struggle with getting beyond the initial stage of their multi-cloud journey. According to the 2021 Semi-Annual State of Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Report and Application eXperience Infrastructure Study released this week by Prosimo, these struggles with operational complexity, security and performance are causing enterprises’ multi-cloud journeys to stall—preventing them from delivering fast, reliable and secure application experiences to highly-distributed users.

The report paints a full picture of how enterprises are transitioning to cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures, the challenges and opportunities that cloud architects face, and the value that multi-cloud infrastructure can provide for global application experience delivery.

Key findings from the report:

• 62% of IT decision makers report that finding a consistent network approach across cloud service providers is their top cloud networking challenge
• 62% of enterprises plan to embrace multi-cloud within two years; this grows to 91% after two years
• 63% of IT decision makers define multi-cloud success through “ensuring consistency, security measures across users, apps, and devices”
• 53% of enterprises tackling multi-cloud with traditional networking approaches face issues with operational complexity, security, and performance
• And much more!
