Over 67% of IT decision makers now blend public cloud with on-premise solutions. Unexpected costs, security challenges and slow data transfer are key factors cited in cloud migration struggles.

Research shows that 67% of IT decision makers favour a hybrid hosting infrastructure over a ‘cloud-first’ strategy and 94% of businesses using public cloud would take a different approach to migration, given the challenges they have faced when moving to the public cloud.

The report, commissioned by Asanti, one of the UK’s leading colocation data centre providers, and conducted by VansonBourne, indicates that many organisations now view blending public cloud with on-premise solutions as the optimal approach to managing IT infrastructure.
