Tech Deck: May Recap

Welcome back to the fifth edition of Tech Deck, a monthly newsletter designed to provide visibility into the latest technology trends and challenges through various initiatives and case studies. Instead of simply explaining these trends and challenges, we’ll explore key focus areas and offer comprehensive solution briefs and white papers to help you stay ahead of the curve.

In this month’s issue, we dive deeper into Multi-Cloud and Multi-Cloud Management Platforms. In today's complex IT environments and datacenters, where multiple systems and hardware components coexist and workloads are distributed between on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure, organizations now have access to platforms that can manage everything in one place.

Does this sound too good to be true?! Well, keep reading, and all will be revealed.?

Truly innovative times in the "cloud era" as we enter a Multi-Cloud world...

Nutanix was the first to the party, and the term Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) became a huge buzz word. Many vendors followed this trend, and the race of "Hybrid cloud vs Public cloud" was at the center stage, leaving organizations stuck asking, "Should we move to the cloud?" or "Run our workloads on-prem?". Both options show significant ROIs but for different outcomes and ultimately leaving organizations less flexible and agile.

"Multi-Cloud" refers to the strategic use of multiple cloud computing services from different providers to meet specific business needs. Instead of relying on a single cloud provider in one place, organizations leverage a combination of public, private, and hybrid clouds to optimize performance, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.

With organizations looking for a model that brings ease of use, deployment, and management, the multi-cloud model is proving to be the best of both worlds. Multi-Cloud management platforms are changing the way organizations approach cloud strategy all together.

Where does "Multi-Cloud Management" come from?

Nutanix and Dell Technologies have made significant contributions to the multi-cloud space by introducing the first multi-cloud management platforms. Both platforms aim to simplify the complexities associated with managing multiple cloud environments and enable organizations to seamlessly orchestrate workloads across different clouds, anytime and anywhere with one click.?No matter the cloud strategy, these platforms bring you a unified and simple approach to managing workloads, providers, licenses, and deployments while improving cost savings and eliminating siloed IT and governance.

This gives organizations the freedom to focus on the outcome rather than the product. No more worry about hardware lock in or cloud lock in and allowing flexibility in organizational goals.

Staying updated on the latest advancements and innovations in multi-cloud management is crucial, as it provides valuable opportunities for organizations to leverage various cloud providers while effectively managing their workloads and data across different environments.
