Protection from ransomware is the primary driver in public sector IT infrastructure investment, according to Nutanix’s sixth annual global Public Sector Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report. 

The ability to protect against ransomware and other malware (17%), performance/response time potential (15%), and its ability to allow IT to flexibly move workloads across private and public cloud platforms (14%) are the top priorities of respondents in the public sector for IT infrastructure investment.

AI, cloud-smart

Greg O’Connell

“Much like other industries, public sector organisations are eager to modernise their IT infrastructure and lay the foundation to adopt new technologies to deliver better services and experiences for constituents,” said Greg O’Connell, senior director of Sales, Public Sector at Nutanix.

O’Connell added that the majority (80%) of respondents expect to increase their investments in AI technology in the next year.

Around 85% and all sectors (90%) agreed that their organisations currently embrace cloud-smart IT deployment strategies despite the low number of global public sector organisations reported using a hybrid multi-cloud approach (8%).

Top challenges 

The top data management challenge for 19% of respondents is complying with data storage/usage guidelines. Other challenges include operations, security, privacy regulations, and sustainability in terms of storing end-user data.
