What Good Modern Infrastructure Looks Like
Published 24 September 2024"With infrastructure's increasing role as a foundational business enabler, I&O platform leaders should assess their current infrastructure capabilities, while identifying their future aspirations, when crafting their infrastructure modernization strategies".
"As the industry progresses from the initial stages of cloud migration there is a renewed emphasis on hybrid environments and the many associated topics: specifically compute, storage, networking, cloud computing, infrastructure platform engineering, etc. But a big question related to all of that is "What does good infrastructure look like?" and "How do I modernize what I have now?"
We believe this research is essential for platform leaders overseeing infrastructure modernization, as it provides a framework that defines a quadrant of infrastructure profiles to help address key questions.
Key Findings from the report:
- Many I&O teams have neither a good gauge on the capabilities of their existing infrastructure deployment nor how it has evolved to its current state.
- I&O teams continue to struggle with understanding what constitutes a "best fit" infrastructure deployment.
- There are additional challenges for I&O teams navigating how to transition their existing infrastructure environments as they look to modernize: for example, realizing potential risks and identifying needed staff.
