Nutanix<\/a> has released its eighth annual Enterprise Cloud<\/a> Index. The report measures global enterprise progress with cloud adoption. It also highlights how AI is reshaping IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey found that AI adoption is accelerating the need for application and infrastructure modernization. Containers have become a core part of enterprise strategies. In fact, 85% of respondents said AI is driving faster adoption of containers to improve speed, reliability, and scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix, said organizations need enterprise-grade security, resilience, and portability. He added that AI workloads can run anywhere. A common operating environment for virtual machines and containers helps IT leaders scale AI confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey showed that organizational silos create AI risks. 82% of respondents said silos between business units and IT slow deployment and increase complexity. Shadow IT also poses challenges. 79% reported AI tools being used in non-IT departments. Unauthorized AI use can expose sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI agents offer major opportunities. 61% of executives said AI agents enhance customer or employee experiences. 58% believe they improve productivity. Additionally, 57% expect AI agents to create new products, services, or revenue streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data sovereignty remains a priority. 80% of respondents said it is crucial when choosing infrastructure. Many organizations keep data within the country it was collected. 57% prefer running infrastructure locally for security and compliance reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Containers are central to modern applications. 87% of respondents expect container use to grow over the next three years. 83% are already building new applications in containers. AI is a key driver for this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite growing AI applications, infrastructure readiness lags. 59% of respondents expect more than five AI-enabled applications soon. Yet 82% said their current infrastructure is not fully ready to support AI workloads on-premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohammad Abulhouf, VP & GM for Middle East & Africa at Nutanix, said AI adoption is moving from experimentation to execution. He emphasized the need to modernize platforms with containers while maintaining governance, security, and data sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the eighth year, Nutanix commissioned the survey with Wakefield Research. It included 1,600 executives from organizations with over 500 employees across 14 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
