In mid-2018, VansonBourne conducted research on behalf of Nutanix to gain insight into enterprise plans for adopting private, hybrid, and public clouds.

The respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and geographies, which included the Americas; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); and Asia- Pacific (APJ) regions.

As enterprises realize that not all applications and data belong in public cloud infrastructure, they are increasingly leaning toward hybrid clouds that combine private and public cloud services and their respective benefits.
