"This is great news for India's enterprises and even greater news for India," said Sankalp Saxena, SVP and Managing Director - Operations, India, Nutanix. "Digital transformation is rapidly re-defining the regional and global landscape. As billions more people, places and things become connected to the Internet, and more and more enterprises move their systems, software and processes to cloud providers, the need to connect, communicate, manage and align these varying components take on a new perspective. Hybrid infrastructure does all of these things and provides the key to truly unlock the full potential of cloud. By driving hybrid adoption, India's enterprises look set to keep the country at the centre of the global economy."

Below are other key India findings of the report:
Further investments on time, money and skills on cloud services
Study findings reveal that India will convert much of its private cloud usage (38%) to hybrid usage, as its use of private clouds is expected to drop by about a third (23%) during the same period it expects its hybrid use to more than triple (43%) While business and data security are key priorities, IT performance is a major benefit

Data security and compliance were ranked as the single biggest benefit of using a public cloud, on average, globally. These attributes tied with lower total cost of ownership (TCO) as the top perk when ranked by enterprises in the APJ region. India showed a higher ranking of security as a benefit than the global and APJ averages; however, it placed an even higher emphasis on performance, which it ranked as the number one public cloud benefit India also seemed to value agility, scalability, and cost reduction less-and ease of management more-than its regional and global counterparts

Indian enterprises seem to fare better in controlling public cloud spend
While public cloud service deployments were reported to exceed IT budgets by 36% of both global and APJ respondents, only 23% of Indian respondents reported being over budget with their public cloud services; 77% reported being on or under budget Indian companies are doing better in getting all needs met by public cloud services
More than half of Indian respondents (54%) indicate that all their needs are being met by public cloud services -12% higher than the global average and 22% higher than the average in the APJ region *For the purposes of this study, hybrid cloud "describes the combined use of at least one private cloud and at least one public cloud service, with some degree of integration between the two cloud environments."
