New research from EMA shows only 25% of enterprises are fully successful in building and operating hybrid, multi-cloud networks
LAFAYETTE, Colo., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT research and consulting firm, today announced an upcoming live webinar titled “Mastering Multi-Cloud: Network Strategies for Today’s Hybrid Environments,” designed to help IT leaders navigate the complexity of modern network architectures.
As AI and other digital initiatives accelerate the shift to hybrid, multi-cloud models, many enterprises are struggling to build effective, secure, and scalable networks across diverse infrastructure. Drawing on extensive new research, EMA Vice President of Research Shamus McGillicuddy will be joined by Pradeep Parmar, Director of Product Marketing at Infoblox, to explore strategies that drive success in these environments.
EMA research reveals a growing reliance on hybrid architectures, which blend on-premises data centers, colocation facilities, and public cloud platforms. In fact, 56% of enterprises now operate in multi-cloud environments, leveraging two or more public cloud providers for IaaS or PaaS. Yet despite this adoption, only 25% of organizations report complete success in building and operating hybrid, multi-cloud networks.
“Too many enterprises have siloed networks across their hybrid, multi-cloud networks,” McGillicuddy said. “They use the networking tools native to their various cloud providers, which increases complexity and challenges their ability to build and manage infrastructure consistently across clouds and data centers.”
This research-based webinar will share findings from a recent EMA study of 354 IT professionals and provide a practical roadmap for organizations seeking to improve their network outcomes. Key topics will include:
- The top challenges companies face with managing IP address space and DNS across multi-cloud networks
- How network teams can deliver more success by building partnerships with cloud teams, centralizing management of network services, and establishing a source of truth about cloud networks
- The key benefits enterprises experience when they build an effective hybrid, multi-cloud network
The webinar is Wednesday, June 4 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: https://info.enterprisemanagement.com/network-strategies-for-todays-hybrid-environments-webinar-pr
