Description:

According to a recent study, 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2020—41% of enterprise workloads will run on public cloud platforms, an additional 20% are predicted to be private cloud based, and another 22% will be running on hybrid cloud platforms.

The cloud (in all its forms) allows your organization to deliver more value to customers faster. In order to execute a successful cloud strategy, organizations have adopted a DevOps approach, focusing on automation and monitoring. Full visibility of your IT infrastructure and workloads—whether in the data center or cloud—is key to successfully managing a DevOps environment.
