Figures from Enso show that IT leaders want a distributed cloud due to cost and cut down on network problems and control issues.
IT leaders credited the lower risk of network failure because the distributed cloud enables cloud services to sit in local or semi-local subnets – able to operate untethered if necessary.
Enso’s survey found a growing interest in distributed cloud, with significant cloud providers already leading the way with solutions supporting the strategy, such as AWS Outposts, Google Anthos and Microsoft Azure Stack.
These allow a single plane of control to operate and manage public cloud infrastructure housed across a range of environments, including with the public cloud provider, on-premise or in another colocation space.
