"Take advantage of the cloud repatriation market opportunity"

The cloud repatriation trend is undeniable.

According to the Broadcom-sponsored Illuminas Private Cloud Outlook 2025 report, enterprises are increasingly shifting workloads to private cloud environments to achieve better cost control, compliance, and performance.

The findings show that of the surveyed organisations:

  • 69% are either moving or considering moving workloads back to private cloud.
  • 92% value private cloud for its security and compliance capabilities.
  • 53% are prioritising building new workloads in private cloud.

With private cloud, enterprises can finally achieve:

Predictable costs

Private cloud makes it easier to manage expenses. Unlike public cloud models, which can surprise customers with egress fees and fluctuating charges, private cloud provides steady and transparent pricing. In fact, research shows that nearly half of public cloud spend is considered wasted, making cost predictability a smart move.

Enhanced security and compliance

With growing AI-specific risks, and UK and EU directives like the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, and NIS2, private cloud gives you the control and transparency needed to know exactly where your data is stored – a level of governance that’s essential for regulated industries.

Better control and performance

Private cloud platforms offer IT teams the oversight and management tools they need. Plus, for workloads like AI, where every millisecond counts, private cloud often delivers better speed and efficiency compared to public alternatives.
