Hybrid , multi-cloud leaders in Europe achieve 50 % more cloud cost savings than nascent peers

Infoblox , a leader in cloud networking and security services , has found that European organisations 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 organisations have significant advantages over their competitors . The report compares the hybrid , multi-cloud maturity of European organisations 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 prioritise investments and establish processes aligned to the hybrid , multicloud 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 %).
The results show the potential that multicloud management maturity has for businesses , with leading organisations reporting the following benefits :

• 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 organisations .
