Research shows that a majority of enterprises have now embraced a multi-cloud strategy in one way or another. They recognise that a multi-cloud approach is the best way in which they can address the high cost of compute power, and well as map the right cloud platform onto the appropriate application on a case-by-case basis. It is also the sensible way forward for those concerned about compliance with data regulations.

But no CIO will need to be reminded that with multi-cloud adoption come multiple challenges. The more cloud environments your organization deploys, the more complex the management task becomes. The problem stems from the diversity of approaches among cloud service providers, as does the headache of interoperability. Added to that is the shortage of experienced professionals with knowledge of managing multi-cloud environments. If not done right, multi-cloud can also result in skyrocketing costs that outweigh any gain. Security issues also mount up with each new cloud platform adopted.

But with the right approaches and the right supporting technologies, the advantages of multi-cloud adoption will far outweigh the difficulties. To find out more about how the cloud ecosystem is innovating to deliver proactive solutions to multi-cloud challenges, we bring you this online event.
