The State of Application Delivery report is based on a poll of more than 2,000 IT, networking, application, and security professionals worldwide.
Looking at how they are deploying and managing their applications in a rapidly evolving landscape, the report also says that organizations in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa), expect more than three quarters (76 percent) of their apps in the cloud this year.
The average organization in this region also plans on deploying 18 app services in the next 12 months, while 80 percent of organizations worldwide said they are going for a hybrid cloud model.
“Businesses are putting their money where their strategy is when it comes to cloud,” says Ryan Kearny, CTO, F5 Networks. “There are still challenges to overcome but the global shift to embrace hybrid scenario clearly shows a growing recognition that agility and speed can be achieved without compromising security, provided there are consistent policies and solutions in place.”
