What does this mean? For us at 451 Research, we believe this phenomenon we are all hinting at isn’t a repatriation or a reverse migration, but a cloud evolution. Our data shows more businesses see the value of a hybrid IT strategy. In fact, 58% of VotE survey respondents said that they are “moving toward a hybrid IT environment that leverages both on-premises systems and off-premises cloud/hosted resources in an integrated fashion.” Hybrid IT does offer the opportunity to build a framework for workload portability and mobility to match the ever-changing needs (or tastes, looking back at the tattoo analogy) of an organization. While this strategy isn’t the solution for all IT organizations, it is true that VMs are rarely stagnant because the best execution venue (our term for “home”) changes based on the available resources and shifting requirements around issues like performance, security and availability.So, here is our problem: how will we rename cloud repatriation? We have played with many ideas like workload (re)balancing and liquid workloads (no, we are not suggesting you water your workload like a plant – water and electronics still do not mix), but those don’t sit well with us either. Tweet us your ideas for a new term, one that fits the "fluid" nature of the best execution venue for workloads and hybrid IT.
存储调查受访者表示，处理数据增长、满足灾难恢复需求和高成本是存储的三大痛点。但其他痛点(最明显的是来自新应用程序的增长)同比增长显著。近五分之一的受访者表示，管理存储在第三方云环境中的数据是最大的痛点。存储领域的核心挑战正在发生变化;公共云开始承担不可阻挡的数据增长的负担，重点正在转移到其他领域，例如有效地管理内部和外部位置的数据和存储。组织越来越多地转向混合云环境，将新的提供商带入其中(主要是公共云提供商)。IT基础设施管理人员的核心角色正在从增加容量转向更有效地管理它。一些存储经理现在负责处理组织的云存储能力，Äì这通常是一个陡峭的学习曲线，现有的供应商可以通过在其产品中添加更全面的基于云的集成来帮助缓解这一问题。这项名为Storage, budget and outlook的研究代表了1000多份已完成的调查，这些调查来自资格预审的IT决策者，涉及各种云存储技术的采用水平，以及公共云和SaaS战略对企业存储的影响。如果您有兴趣阅读我们的更多研究，请在这里申请试用。
