[StorageExperts]

Businesses like yours need better and more cost-effective ways to manage growing data storage requirements. Deploy or repatriate data the “cloud smart” way with HPE GreenLake for Scality.

Despite widespread adoption of a multi-cloud approach, as cloud strategies mature, more and more companies are rebalancing workloads across cloud services and repatriating some cloud-based workloads back on premises. In fact, 72% of IT decision makers now report they have brought some applications back on premises after moving them to the public cloud citing data security and privacy, performance issues, and high/unpredictable costs as their primary concerns.

If your IT organization is torn between “cloud first/cloud-only” and “traditional” IT, you might have already discovered that the answer lies somewhere in between. Digital transformation has entered a period of workload rebalancing, and organizations like yours are reevaluating how and where workloads are provisioned. To thrive in the digital era, your organization must become “cloud smart,” finding the right mix of cloud services that map to your business objectives.
