Enterprises in the Netherlands have already implemented hybrid and multicloud environments. They are now looking for new ways to improve the agility of their clouds. They are also focused on reducing costs. This is according to a new research report published recently by ISG or Information Services Group. It is a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services report for the Netherlands found that many Dutch companies are already in the cloud migration phase. Additionally, looking for solutions to optimize their transition to public, multicloud and hybrid environments. The introduction of the sovereign cloud provides a cloud infrastructure specifically designed to securely store sensitive data within geographic borders. The ISG report says that it will likely further accelerate migration to hybrid and public clouds.
Ant Drake, ISG Partner for North Europe, said that service providers in the Netherlands are focusing on a value-driven strategy. This strategy helps organizations efficiently evaluate and execute workload migration to their ideal infrastructure option. Providers that have integrated tools to reduce application deployment time in the cloud environment have been more successful in attracting customers.
The ISG report says that one of the prime infrastructure options in the Netherlands is an offsite data center. The Dutch colocation market is one of the largest in Europe and continues to grow. According to the report, the rising demand for state-of-the-art data centers supports this development. ISG says that companies of all sizes, this includes system integrators, public cloud providers, public administrations and system houses are moving their infrastructure to colocation data centers.
The ISG report says that the trend toward edge computing solutions that are closer to the customer and provide stable, low-latency interconnections had led to further demand for colocation services.
