Broadcom's Private Cloud Outlook 2025 Report Reveals Definitive Cloud Reset
Private cloud now rated as a strategic equal to public cloud, driven by cost predictability, GenAI requirements, and trust in delivering on security and compliance needs 53% surveyed say private cloud is their top priority for deploying new workloads over the next three years 84% use private cloud for both traditional enterprise apps and modern, cloud-native workloads PALO ALTO, Calif., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private clouds are no longer playing catch-up, and public clouds are no longer the default as organizations recalibrate their cloud strategies. This 'cloud reset' was the key takeaway from the Private Cloud Outlook 2025 report, an in-depth global survey of 1,800 senior IT leaders conducted by Illuminas, in partnership with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO). More than half (53%) of survey respondents say private cloud is their top priority for deploying new workloads over the next three years, while 69% are considering workload repatriation from public to private cloud, with one-third having already done so. Private cloud is also now a strategic equal for AI and cloud-native apps, with 66% preferring to run container and Kubernetes-based applications on private cloud or a mix of public and private, while 55% prefer private cloud for AI model training, tuning and inference. 'This report makes it clear: private cloud is a strategic platform for IT modernization,' said Prashanth Shenoy, vice president of product marketing, VMware Cloud Foundation Division (VCF) at Broadcom. 'Customers are intentionally architecting for flexibility, placing workloads in environments that offer the best balance of performance, control, and cost efficiency. The cloud reset presents an opportunity to create a more effective, secure and cost-efficient IT environment. Organizations that strategically adopt a modern private cloud can better support secure GenAI innovation, improve fiscal visibility, and accelerate workload repatriation.' Security, GenAI, and Cost Predictability Accelerate the Shift to Private Cloud As IT leaders modernize their infrastructure, they are increasingly turning to private cloud to meet a range of critical needs, from securing sensitive data to managing unpredictable GenAI workloads to improving financial visibility. Security and compliance 92% trust private cloud for security and compliance needs. 66% are "very" or "extremely" concerned about public cloud compliance, and security is cited as the leading driver for workload repatriation from public cloud. Generative AI requirements Data privacy and security concerns (49%) top the list of GenAI adoption challenges. Organizations are choosing private cloud environments for AI workloads at nearly the same rate as public cloud (55% vs. 56%). Cost predictability and reduction 90% value private cloud's financial visibility and predictability. 94% report at least some level of waste on public cloud spend. 49% believe more than 25% of their public cloud spend is wasted, creating significant optimization opportunities. Accelerating the Private Cloud Momentum Real-world public cloud experiences, the rapid rise of GenAI workloads, and increasing demands for security, compliance, and cost predictability are driving this strategic cloud realignment. To fully capitalize on private cloud advantages, organizations must address two key challenges: overcoming siloed IT teams and a perpetuating skills gap. Respondents identified siloed IT teams present the greatest challenge to private cloud adoption (33%), and 30% cite a lack of in-house skills/expertise as a barrier to private cloud adoption. Organizations that transition from technology silos to platform teams can focus on upskilling staff to permanently close the skills gap and reduce reliance on professional services. The report found that 81% are now structuring their technical organizations around a platform team rather than technology silos. View the full survey and learn about additional report findings here. Survey Methodology and Definitions The Private Cloud Outlook 2025 is based on a global survey conducted by market research firm Illuminas on behalf of Broadcom. The survey was fielded from March 6 to April 4, 2025, and included 1,800 senior IT decision-makers across small, medium-sized, and large enterprises in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Respondents represented sectors such as financial services, government, healthcare, insurance, and pharmaceuticals. The study presented the following descriptions of cloud for reference to participants, aligned with Broadcom's definitions as well as with NIST standards: Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Private cloud is a dedicated cloud infrastructure provisioned for the exclusive use of a single organization. This infrastructure may be managed by the organization itself or by a third party and can be located on-premises or at a co-location facility. Public cloud is shared cloud infrastructure run by a third-party service provider. It is accessible to anyone, including the general public, and, for the purposes of this survey, does not include SaaS such as Microsoft 365, Workday, or ServiceNow. About Broadcom Broadcom Inc.

1 in 3 IT leaders pull back on AI investments: Asana
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. AI use is increasing, but IT leaders have regrets about investments and experimentation, according to an Asana survey published Tuesday. The software provider's research arm surveyed more than 550 technology decision-makers. More than half of IT leaders surveyed regret implementing AI without training employees. Nearly 30% of respondents said they invested in AI too quickly, up 7% from last year's survey. Moreover, 62% said they regret not experimenting enough, although that's down 10% from last year. For IT leaders who invested in AI last year, more than one-third are now pulling back or replacing AI-powered tools and services with 'better alternatives,' according to the survey. Most enterprises are still working to hit their stride when it comes to implementing AI successfully as the yearslong deluge of tools and services continues. But blind enthusiasm has waned. 'The 2024 rush to deploy AI has given rise to a sobering reality,' Asana said in the report. 'Promise has been buried under a pile of pilots, proof-of-concepts and half-baked strategies.' CIOs often feel unable to move generative AI projects into production due to several factors, including data dilemmas, infrastructure gaps, talent woes, cost challenges and security concerns. As the uphill battle comes into clearer view, enterprise AI project failures have risen. More than 40% of companies admitted to abandoning most of their AI initiatives this year, compared with just 17% that said the same in 2024, according to analysis from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Some enterprises have found success by distilling priority projects and narrowing AI pursuits as the pressure to deliver results mounts. The majority of organizations with scaled AI projects report productivity improvements, higher-quality work and better decision-making, according to Asana's survey. Early adopters, like General Mills and Charles Schwab, have also pointed to cost savings as a key benefit.
