Predictable development
While enterprises are increasingly relying on hybrid cloud environments to update their current infrastructure, they are also facing tighter budgets, rising costs, and increased demand for innovation.A recent study showed that these factors have prompted more than 70% of global leaders to adopt consumption-based models such as IT as a Service (ITaaS) to help them address ongoing modernization issues, a trend that is expected to rise.According to Gartner, consumption-based storage as a service (STaaS) will replace more than 35% of enterprise storage capital expenditures by 2028, up from less than 10% in 2023.
