Workload Placement in Hybrid IT

Making Great Decisions About What, Where, When and Why

Analyst(s): Henrique Cecci, David Cappuccio

By 2027, 85% of the workload placements made until 2022 will no longer be optimal, due to changing requirements.

Determining which workloads are best suited for which IT infrastructure/service — be it a public cloud, hosting, colocation, edge or on-premises — is no longer optional. 

Organizations spend much of their effort on the deployment of new and existing business capabilities. However, they pay little attention to the effect that this can have on business value, costs and risk aspects, such as stability and reliability. Once made, these decisions tend to be difficult to change.

This research goes beyond the basic or common “how-to” flow chart instructions, presenting the most important considerations clients need to do workload placements in a nonobvious scenario.
