Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight offers insights into top benefits that enterprises derive from infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) network services from cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Oracle. The results are drawn from IDC's 2024 IaaS Network Services Special Survey, driven by an extensive multiregional survey of 1,000 key enterprise network experts across North America and Western Europe.
This IDC Survey Spotlight covers key enterprise concerns associated with IaaS network services. The focus of this research is IaaS network services offered by cloud service providers to enable networking and connectivity across the enterprise digital infrastructure. While this IDC Survey Spotlight offers only a view into total responses, results are available by geographic region, select country, company size, major vertical industries, respondent's title (e.g., cloud/network architects, VP/directors/managers), and infrastructure deployment type (hybrid/multicloud).
"IDC research indicates that the top ranked drivers for modern enterprises using IaaS network services from cloud service providers are to derive all the hyperscale cloud benefits of scalability, resiliency, security, and global reach. Certainly, among other top drivers, organizations want to improve staff productivity, enhance network service quality, provide better developer experience, and more. IDC research also indicates that enterprise organizations face several challenges while using IaaS network services. High costs, complex management, scalability issues, security, and observability are just some of the barriers causing concern among organizations. IaaS networking providers must address these challenges promptly. Providers that proactively tackle these issues will position themselves as the go-to partners for enterprises navigating the networking demands of modern digital applications and GenAI workflows distributed across clouds, on premises, and edge environments." — Taranvir Singh, research manager, Cloud Networking Services, IDC
