Dutch Firms Reevaluate Cloud Infrastructure Strategies Amid Economic Challenges

Dutch Firms Are Taking a Fresh Look at Cloud Infrastructure By Investing.com

Enterprise demand and expectations for modern data centers in the Netherlands continue to strengthen and grow, ISG Provider Lens™ report says AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprises in the Netherlands that have already implemented hybrid and multicloud environments are now seeking new ways to improve the agility of their clouds while reducing the costs, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm. The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Private/Hybrid Cloud " Data Center Services report for the Netherlands finds many Dutch companies are already in the cloud migration phase and are looking for solutions to optimize their transition to public, multicloud and hybrid environments. The introduction of the sovereign cloud, a cloud infrastructure specifically designed to securely store sensitive data within geographic borders, will likely further accelerate migration to hybrid and public clouds, the ISG report says. Service providers in the Netherlands are focusing on a value-driven strategy to help organizations efficiently evaluate and execute workload migration to their ideal infrastructure option, said Ant Drake, ISG partner, North Europe. Providers that have been able to integrate tools to reduce application deployment time in the cloud environment have been more successful in attracting customers. One of the prime infrastructure options in the Netherlands is an offsite data center, the ISG report says. The Dutch colocation market is one of the largest in Europe and continues to grow, helped by the rising demand for state-of-the-art data centers, the report says. Companies of all sizes, including system integrators, public cloud providers, public administrations and system houses are moving their infrastructure to colocation data centers, ISG says. The trend toward edge computing solutions that are closer to the customer and provide stable, low-latency interconnections has led to further demand for colocation services, the ISG report says. At the same time, enterprise requirements for colocation data centers have significantly increased, the report says. In the past, a cost-effective and secure data center that could provide sufficient power, cooling and a secure line connection was considered adequate, but today's Dutch enterprises expect more, including sustainability support and a broad range of low-latency line connections worldwide, ISG says. Enterprises in the Netherlands are increasingly relying on the services of colocation providers to improve operational security, compliance, and sustainability, said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. Green technologies, energy recovery systems, and monitoring and optimization will likely become mandatory soon, requirements that many on-premises enterprise data centers would find challenging to meet. The report also examines how service providers are establishing strategic alliances with technology providers and hyperscalers to offer tailored solutions that optimally support both technological requirements and business objectives of their customers.
