“ As AI continues to drive rapid advancements , IT leaders are reevaluating their approach to workload management . Instead of updating existing infrastructure , they are designing entirely new cloud strategies to meet evolving demands ,” said Srini Koushik , President AI , Technology and Sustainability , Rackspace Technology .
Adhil Badat , Chief Operating Officer for Asia-Pacific Japan , Rackspace Technology , said : “ For APAC organisations to achieve business and technology benefits such as operational efficiency and enhanced data analytics and insights , it is imperative for organisations to develop a clear AI and cloud strategy . As organisations shift away from a singlecloud approach , they are embracing flexible , multienvironment solutions to meet evolving business needs . This transformation is not just about technology but about crafting a resilient foundation for future growth while ensuring data security and compliance remain at the forefront .”
“ To future-proof their organisations , many are transitioning from a ‘ one-size-fits-all ’ model in favour of a more flexible and resilient multi-strategy approach . This pivotal moment for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions empowers organisations to choose services tailored to their unique technical requirements and workloads .”
A driving force behind the desire for multi-solution approaches is the ease with which organisations can move data between different cloud environments , with 83 % of APAC respondents stating that they can transfer workloads seamlessly between the public and private cloud and 79 % reporting that they can do so between multiple public cloud hyperscalers .
