Aerospike and Unisphere Research conducted a survey to analyze IT leaders' budget priorities in North America amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key insights from the survey include: 1. Major impact of COVID-19 on IT budgets in 2020. 2. Strategic use of public cloud infrastructure with significant investment in private clouds. 3. A growing concern about handling data coming from multiple sources and formats, putting strain on IT infrastructure. 4. Variation in cloud adoption strategies based on company size, but no clear preference for public or private clouds. 5. Factors driving cloud adoption include cost, innovation, and the need to rethink approach due to COVID-19.
