Gartner predicts that by 2022, 75% of all databases will be in the cloud, with many companies adopting a "cloud-first" or "cloud-only" approach. Companies are increasingly deploying their data across multiple clouds based on factors such as geographic regions, costs for different applications, and security requirements. Aerospike has observed aggressive cloud-based deployment, with over 50% of its deployments in the cloud. The company supports customers' efforts in the cloud by working closely with major cloud providers to define instances that work well for real-time NoSQL databases and ensuring seamless installation guides and tools are available.
