Nutanix Study Finds Public Sector IT Investment Focused on AI, Ransomware Protection, and Operational Efficiency

Hybrid multicloud deployments expected to
increase fourfold over the next three years to help unlock
efficiency, security, and innovation.
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing,
announced the findings of its sixth annual global Public Sector
Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report, which
measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption in the industry.
The research showed that Public Sector IT leaders expect
substantial near-term adoption of multiple IT operating models
(87%), yet current usage (57%) is slightly behind the average
compared to other industries (60%).
This year’s Public Sector ECI report revealed that the use of
hybrid multicloud models in the industry is forecasted to quadruple
over the next one to three years as IT decision-makers at public
sector organizations look to modernize data centers into private
clouds and preserve choice in public cloud deployments. Primary
drivers for IT infrastructure investments in the next year include
ransomware prevention, IT modernization, and AI strategy support to
gain flexibility and access new capabilities to improve operations
and enable mission success.
The public sector is faced with regulatory and compliance
mandates regarding where and how end user data can be stored, which
creates complexity as organizations work to modernize their IT
infrastructure. Hybrid multicloud solutions provide key benefits to
public sector organizations including simplifying operations,
improving data privacy and security, optimizing where apps and data
live, and preparing for technologies like AI. The Public Sector ECI
report found the adoption of hybrid multicloud varied significantly
from across sub sectors, with public education leading the way,
while federal and state governments lagged.
“Much like other industries, public sector organizations are
eager to modernize their IT infrastructure and lay the foundation
to adopt new technologies to deliver better services and
experiences for constituents,” said Greg O’Connell, Sr. Director
Sales, Public Sector at Nutanix. “In fact, 80% of the public sector
said they expect to increase their investments in AI technology in
the next year.”
Public sector survey respondents were asked about their current
cloud challenges, how they’re running business and mission critical
applications today, and where they plan to run them in the future.
Key findings from this year’s report include:
- Hybrid multicloud deployments lag behind other
industries. The vast majority of both public sector
organizations (85%) and all sectors (90%) agreed that their
organizations now embrace cloud-smart IT deployment strategies.
However, just 8% of global public sector organizations reported
using a hybrid multicloud approach.
- When public sector organizations are investing in IT
infrastructure, protection from ransomware is the primary
driver. Respondents in the public sector most often chose the
infrastructure’s ability to protect against ransomware and other
malware as their single top priority (17%). This factor was
followed by the infrastructure’s performance/response time
potential (15%) and its ability to allow IT to flexibly move
workloads across private and public cloud platforms (14%).
- Security and compliance are the biggest drivers of
application relocation and the top priority for CIO/CTOs, as public
sector organizations recover from high rates of ransomware
attacks. The vast majority of ECI respondents—92% in the public
sector group and 95% globally—said they had moved one or more
applications to a different IT environment in the past 12 months.
The ramp-up of moving workloads to best support each application’s
requirements is creating the need for simple and flexible
inter-cloud portability. Shifting security-related requirements, in
particular, are largely fueling the movement of applications.
- AI use is ramping up, though issues concerning data privacy
and best practices persist. Though AI support ranked fairly low
on public sector infrastructure purchasing criteria, respondents
expressed high levels of interest in the technology elsewhere. 80%
of the public sector said they expect to increase their investments
in AI technology in the next year. About a third (32%) said that
those investment increases would be “significant.” A third (33%)
also said integrating with cloud-native services, such as AI, was a
reason that they moved one or more application(s) to a different
infrastructure during the past year.
- Top challenges involve multi-environment storage,
operations, security, and sustainability. Managing multiple IT
environments creates operational challenges often related to
interoperability and data management across infrastructures with
dissimilar underlying technologies. When asked to name their number
one data management challenge today, the greatest percentage in the
public sector identified complying with data storage/usage
guidelines (19%) as the top factor. Increasingly, data storage
strategies are driven by privacy regulations about where end user
data can be stored, such as data sovereignty requirements.
For the sixth consecutive year, Vanson Bourne conducted research
on behalf of Nutanix, surveying 1,500 IT and DevOps/Platform
Engineering decision-makers around the world in December 2023. The
respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and
geographies, including North and South America; Europe, the Middle
East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) region.
