Enterprises are increasingly turning to AI-powered hybrid cloud management platforms (HCMPs) to enhance operational efficiency and ensure business continuity. According to a recent report by Information Services Group (ISG) [1], the adoption of HCMPs is growing rapidly, driven by the integration of edge computing, enhanced disaster recovery, and automation enabled by AI and machine learning.

The financial sector has been at the forefront of investing in advanced HCMPs, but the healthcare industry is now experiencing faster adoption rates. The report highlights significant growth in Asia Pacific and Latin America, where enterprises are pursuing digital transformation for greater agility, security, and cost efficiency. The integration of AI and edge computing is a key catalyst for this trend.

Disaster recovery and resiliency are among the fastest-growing demands within hybrid cloud management, especially in Asia Pacific. AI-enabled HCMPs and resiliency solutions aid in the integration of private, public, and edge cloud environments. They offer real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and AI agents that can automate complex workflows. Leading solutions also focus on security threats and automate regulatory compliance, helping enterprises better manage and optimize resources.

Broadcom (VMware) and HPE are identified as leaders in hybrid cloud management by ISG [1]. These platforms offer comprehensive cost visibility, AI-enabled insights, and financial accountability, which are crucial for optimizing cloud resources through FinOps. AI and machine learning provide detailed insights into cloud spending across platforms and recommend cost-saving opportunities.

As enterprises rely more on complex hybrid cloud architectures, they face growing cloud monitoring and management responsibilities. Solution providers are addressing these challenges with innovative AI-powered features, making operations more efficient and resilient.
