Unlock all benefits of cloud without the complexity.
Introduction
The modern business landscape is defined by rapid technological evolution powered by the agility, scalability, and connectivity of the cloud. From its inception in the early 2000s to its current status as a standard, the cloud has undergone a remarkable journey, revolutionizing how businesses operate, innovate, and connect. Today, cloud adoption is no longer up for debate; it’s an undeniable imperative for enterprises. The focus has shifted entirely from whether to embrace the cloud to determining how best to approach and architect a successful cloud strategy.
According to the latest “2023 State of the Cloud'' report, 87% of businesses now pursue a multi-cloud strategy. With so many cloud service providers (CSPs) competing in the cloud market, each with a distinct portfolio of powerful capabilities with varying pricing, presence, support, and security, organizations feel compelled to distribute their applications between multiple CSPs to achieve cost-savings and best-of-breed capabilities in a multi-cloud setup.
The benefits of multi-cloud architecture range from cost-savings, speed, resiliency, and flexibility to compliance, security, and independence. However, the extent of these benefits hinges on the underlying philosophy behind the multi- cloud strategy, be it a cloud native, cloud agnostic, or a hybrid of the two approaches. Each approach has its own unique benefits and restraints, and ultimately, it depends on the organizations to decide which approach aligns best with their workloads, the overall business strategy, and the available resources.
