What does it mean to make the cloud invisible? First, it's important to understand the long shadow that the cloud has cast over the enterprise. Ten years after Nutanix got its start breaking down data center silos, "the new silos are the clouds," Ramaswami told ZDNet, and "every cloud is somewhat different."

Nutanix on Tuesday released its fourth annual global Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report, revealing how committed enterprises are to a multi-cloud approach in spite of ongoing challenges. The survey, which polled 1,700 IT decision-makers worldwide in August and September 2021, showed that multi-cloud is currently the most commonly used deployment model. Adoption should jump to 64% in the next three years. At the same time, 87% of respondents agreed that multi-cloud success requires simpler management across mixed-cloud infrastructures.
