Hyperconverged infrastructure and public cloud computing are two of the fastest-growing segments of the IT industry.
TechTarget recently surveyed IT professionals in Western Europe to assess preferences for these infrastructure approaches. Despite the widespread enterprise adoption of public cloud services, the survey indicates that European IT professionals favour hyperconverged infrastructure over public cloud computing services for mission-critical workloads. This report details the survey findings.
The key takeaways include:
1. Survey respondents prefer hyperconvergence over public cloud for critical workloads by a wide margin.
2. Nearly half of respondents say their data centre infrastructure is a year or more behind the market.
3. The top benefits of hyperconvergence for respondents were better backup and recovery for disaster recovery scenarios and improved operational efficiency.
4. Respondents liked cloud's scalability, but felt that hyperconverged infrastructure was a better choice for data centre modernisation and transformation.
