Mientras hybrid-cloud adoption accelerates, almost 50% de respondents cited a shortage de cybersecurity expertise as a barrier to moving their workloads to the cloud. Yet trust en public cloud security has risen, con 23% de organizaciones ahora confident que la cloud puede protect their data compared with 13% a year ago.

Un independent Uptime Institute study shows that 65% de enterprise workloads remain en on-premise data centers —a figure que has held steady over the past three years. The same survey highlighted that server consolidation ranks higher than cloud migration as a priority para TI leaders, y que muchos acknowledge gaps en sus cloud-planning capabilities.

Organizations often resist cloud migration para compliance, legal-retention, o legacy-system reasons. El decision point then shifts from "move everything as-is" a "select the right application for the right purpose", a process que demands clear strategy y governance.
