San Jose, CA, December 2, 2020 – Virtana today announced the industry’s first unified platform for migrating, optimizing, and managing application workloads across public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Using artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) technologies, including machine learning and advanced data analytics, the cloud agnostic Virtana Platform solves the most difficult challenges facing enterprises as they seek to leverage public clouds.

When you complete your big cloud migration project, by all means celebrate, but don’t party too hard. The job’s not done. Digital transformation is never finished. Technology will progress. Customer expectations will evolve. The competition will advance. And your business must grow. This means that the transition to hybrid and multi-cloud is not a one-time event—it’s an ongoing process.

In the on-premises world, you have to provide your own capacity, which requires a delicate balance. Because you pay for all the hardware and software regardless of whether you use it, you don’t want to tie up budget if you don’t need it.

San Jose, CA, November 11, 2020 – A vast majority (84%) of companies considered “digital leaders” by IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice, are turning to a hybrid cloud approach as they adopt public cloud services to improve IT service delivery.

You’ve heard that old Chinese proverb that says a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It’s sound advice … except if the journey you’re talking about is the one from the data center to the cloud. With cloud deployment at the center of virtually any digital transformation effort, the journey itself can have a profound impact on the successful outcomes you seek at the destination. So you have to get it right. But what does that actually mean?

For most organizations, the cloud is a promise for better outcomes. Let’s be honest, why would you go through all that effort otherwise? This is especially true for all those applications and workloads that are currently running in data center environments but need to be moved to the cloud to support digital transformation efforts.

According to research from McKinsey, only 16% of digital transformation efforts have successfully improved performance and equipped the organizations to sustain changes in the long term. That’s a shockingly low number. Why is this happening? And how can you prevent this from derailing your own digital transformation journey and putting your business models, revenue, and profitability at risk?
