- European Leaders Outperform Their Peers: 50% more cost
savings, faster time to market, and more than twice as likely to
meet employee and customer satisfaction goals related to
cloud-hosted workloads.1
- Rapid Detection and Recovery: These leaders excel in
quickly identifying and resolving issues. They are 4.1 times more
likely to detect outages in real-time or near real-time (33% vs.
8%) and 3.3 times more likely to restore services within minutes
rather than hours or days (36% vs. 11%).2
- Maturity Levels in Europe: Despite these successes, European
organizations are more frequently found in the least mature cohort
for hybrid, multi-cloud maturity (55% vs. 44%) and overall exhibit
a lower level of maturity in hybrid and multi-cloud
adoption.3
LONDON, Sept. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Infoblox Inc., a
leader in cloud networking and security services, has found that
European organizations are lagging behind their global peers in
multi-cloud management maturity, according to a new Enterprise
Strategy Group (ESG) report commissioned by Infoblox, 'The State
of Hybrid, Multi-cloud Management Maturity in Europe'. At the same time, more mature
organizations have significant advantages over their competitors.
The report compares the hybrid, multi-cloud maturity of European
organizations with the rest of the world, exploring how the region
trails and why it's important to improve.
Based on insights from 1,000 networking and security decision
makers and influencers around the world – with European
companies making up roughly a third of the respondents – the report
underscores the need for European cloud strategists to prioritize
investments and establish processes aligned to the hybrid,
multi-cloud management maturity model.
Multi-cloud management maturity brings multiple benefits for
companies
When asked if cloud networking and security technologies are
significantly improving ITOps and SecOps outcomes in the
cloud, the results were clear: the top four benefits of technology
investments cited were improved uptime and service-level agreement
adherence (79%), enhanced cross-cloud visibility (76%), increased
speed of service delivery and innovation (76%), and higher
line-of-business stakeholder satisfaction (73%).4
The results show the potential that multi-cloud management
maturity has for businesses, with leading organizations reporting
the following benefits:
- Cost efficiency: European leaders are outperforming
their peers in terms of efficiency, reducing their cloud costs by
50% more than nascent organizations over the last
year.5
- Faster time to market: Leading companies are bringing
their products to market faster, with 76% of leaders saying they
are typically first movers, compared to 12% of nascent
organizations.6
- Employee and customer satisfaction: Leaders achieve 2.9
times more employee satisfaction and 2.3 times more customer
satisfaction goals related to cloud-hosted
workloads.7
- Improved resilience: 75% of leaders said they had never
(33%) or only once (42%) experienced an outage of a cloud-hosted
business-critical workload in the past 12 months (compared to 44%
of nascent organizations).8
- Agile security: When workloads shut down, leading
organizations detect problems and recover faster: They are 4.1
times more likely to detect outages in real-time or near real-time
(33% vs 8%) and 3.3 times more likely to say they can restore
service in minutes vs hours or days (36% vs 11%).9
Catch-up potential for European companies
Compared to the rest of the world, European organizations are
significantly more likely to be in the least mature cohort (55%
versus 44%), although there is some consistency across the globe.
This means that European organizations are less hybrid and
multi-cloud mature overall. At the same time, European
organizations are almost as likely to be leaders as organizations
in the other regions (11% versus 12%).10
When it comes to network and security tool convergence, once
again European organizations tend to have a less-mature approach.
Compared to their counterparts in other regions, they were 44% more
likely to have a completely siloed approach (26% versus
18%).11
DNS both network and security teams to discover and map out
active devices and services within the cloud and on-premise
environment. Unfortunately the data shows that European
organizations are less likely to leverage DNS extensively for
discovery and visibility of cloud assets.12
"The research shows that most companies in Europe are not realizing their full potential.
Compared to their counterparts around the world, it's time to catch
up", says Frank Ruge, Senior Vice
President Europe, Middle East
& Africa. "While the gap is
not yet insurmountable, it is very significant in areas such as
building platform teams, converging cloud networking and security
tools, and the use of network core services to improve asset
management and security. We can help customers accelerate time to
market, meet and even exceed employee and customer expectations,
and improve the performance of their workloads by providing a more
fundamental level of security than traditional security
mechanisms."

transformation and a summary of the characteristics of leaders in
this area, can be downloaded here.
