Infoblox Report: APAC Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Leaders Achieve 20.5% More Cloud Cost Savings Than Nascent Peers

Most APAC Organisations Exhibit Less Maturity But Are Making Strides Nonetheless

 

Infoblox Inc., a leader in cloud networking and security services, has revealed that APAC organisations are sharply divided in terms of their hybrid, multi-cloud maturity level, with more mature organisations gaining significant benefits from their advanced posture.

Commissioned by Infoblox, the report titled The State of Hybrid, Multi-cloud Management Maturity in APAC by Enterprise Strategy Group compares APAC organisations’ hybrid, multi-cloud maturity against the rest of the world.

Fielding insights from 1,000 networking and security decision-makers and influencers across the globe—with 300 respondents from the APAC region (Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore)—the report underscores the need for APAC cloud strategists to prioritise investments and establish processes aligned to the hybrid, multi-cloud management maturity model.

“This research clearly shows that APAC organisations stand to gain substantial benefits easily by enhancing collaboration, adopting advanced DDI solutions, and leveraging DNS for security,” said Paul Wilcox, Vice President, Asia Pacific & Japan, at Infoblox. “At Infoblox, we see the convergence of networking, security, and cloud operations as a strategic imperative for businesses looking to thrive in the digital age. In the competitive APAC region, we help businesses accelerate time-to-market, exceed customer expectations, and optimise IT-managed workloads enhancing security at an even more foundational layer than traditional security mechanisms. We are not just helping APAC organisations catch up; we’re driving them to leapfrog ahead, achieving superior performance and business outcomes that drive market leadership .”

Majority of APAC Organisations Demonstrate Less Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Maturity Than Global Peers

While APAC organisations show a fair degree of consistency with organisations across the globe in their hybrid, multi-cloud maturity level, they are more likely to be in the least-mature cohort as compared to peers in the rest of the world (51% versus 46%). Simultaneously, 14% of APAC organisations are also more likely to be leading the pack, versus 11% globally.

Diving deeper into the report, network and security teams in the region show less collaboration on cloud strategies, with 37% reporting high collaboration during development and 36% during incident and outage management, compared to global averages of 46% and 42% respectively. APAC organisations also lean more on CSP-specific DDI tools (41% vs 31%), suggesting a need for tool review and enhancement. However, APAC leads in using common tools across network and security teams (33% vs 27%), showcasing their integrated approach.

Infoblox Finds Big Payoffs for APAC Organisations Excelling in Multi-Cloud Maturity

When asked if cloud networking and security technologies were materially improving ITOps and SecOps outcomes in the cloud, the results were clear. The top three benefits of technology investments cited were improved cross-cloud visibility (76%), elevated satisfaction of line-of-business stakeholders (71%), and enhanced pace of service delivery and innovation (63%).

Additionally, Leaders also report the following advantages:

  • Cost efficiencies. APAC Leaders estimate 20.5% larger reduction in cloud costs (relative to if those solutions were not in place).
  • Improved resilience. APAC Leaders reported approximately 25% fewer incidents of downtime or degrader performance. In scenarios where downtimes occurred, they were 4.8 times more confident in restoring service within minutes, instead of hours or days.
  • Agile security. Leaders were more likely to detect suspicious activities faster (54% versus 21%), investigate anomalies promptly (51% versus 20%), and respond to actual attacks more efficiently (59% versus 29%).
