The majority of organisations in Asia Pacific are already using multiple public clouds but only 38% have a fully defined multi-cloud strategy. VMware identifies those organisations as “Cloud Smart”, wherein they have smart business environments to innovate and scale securely across multiple environments.

According to VMware’s Multi-Cloud Maturity Research Report, Cloud Smart organisations in Asia Pacific have experienced the following benefits:

  • See a positive impact in their revenue and profitability (97%)
  • Data monetisation being a significant source of their current revenue (41%)
  • Have better control on cloud costs, thanks to better visibility and control over their multi-cloud operations
  • Able to better address data sovereignty concerns as they can easily manage (92%) and secure (89%) data in whichever nation it resides
  • See little to no improvement needed to secure their organisation’s data (93%), end-user employee data (93%) and customer data (92%) as they have good visibility and control over their apps and data across multiple clouds.
