The latest forecast by Gartner points out that 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach through 2027. This forecast highlights the growing necessity for businesses to scale up their hybrid cloud infrastructure, especially as they look to build and deploy more Generative AI workloads. GenAI spending remains at an all-time high with more businesses expected to focus on developing use cases in 2025 and beyond.
As hybrid and multi-cloud become more widespread, customers and partners struggle trying to compare apples to oranges: different meters, discount structures, and billing scenarios, even when looking for the most basic answers.
This shift is moving businesses away from single-cloud strategies towards combined public and private cloud environments, with data synchronization emerging as a critical, urgent challenge by 2025.
However, Gartner believes that the biggest challenges organizations are also facing in their GenAI adoption is in data management.
Gartner believes that data synchronization across the hybrid cloud environment will be the most urgent challenges businesses will look to address in 2025.
While the demand for better data management and a robust hybrid cloud infrastructure increase, the public cloud market is also expected to grow. In fact, Gartner predicts worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services to total US$723.4 billion in 2025. In 2024, the spending was projected to be US$595.7 billion.
