67% of the business sector agrees to invest or increase spending on Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) this year, so says a survey by the US firm 451 Research.
more interested in this investment companies, according to data provided in the survey are VMware, Cisco and Microsoft topped the list of “go-to” customers, as suppliers for SDI capabilities. In addition, this investment will result in an increase of 14.4% in total spending.
SDI involves virtualizing all the hardware resources, combined with the scale and elastic management automation . As such, it is done through the implementation of multiple technologies and products.
Although server virtualization has been and remains the usual starting point for most companies, additional approaches defined by software they have emerged in recent years, including software defined (SDN) and defined storage (SDS) software networks. Most survey respondents (65%) cited improved agility and flexibility as the top benefit of SDI.
In 2015 increases were projected spending infrastructure software technologies associated with SDI. 37.4% of companies were increasing spending on software defined (SDN) and software defined storage (SDS), respectively networks; this compared with planning less than 3% for budget allocations for these two technologies. VMware (66.3%), followed by Cisco (39.2%) and Microsoft (28.1%) stand out as SDI software vendors.
“As every business becomes a business digital; decisions are taken it is seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their IT environment in general ; this is encouraging, as they are taking decisions to explore new IT delivery models. “Said Simon Robinson, research vice president at 451 Research.
However, only 21% of organizations have implemented SDI in their environments today, and there are barriers to adoption more wide . For many senior managers, there are still some misgivings to the SDI adoption, but for others, the problem lies in the lack or lack of internal skills.
“For successful implementation, managers or people decision makers must first perform an audit of its internal competencies and seek fill any gaps. Meanwhile, providers should try to play a more active role in communicating the requirements and present case studies to help overcome these barriers, “says Nikolay Yamakawa, senior analyst at Research 451 Research.
