Since many enterprises use cloud services across different geographical locations, it’s a struggle for them to choose just one public cloud provider. According to Fortune Business Insights, the multi-cloud management market is projected to reach USD 50.04 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 28.6%.
The importance of multi-cloud cannot be understated, as the security of cloud applications is extremely important, regardless of the situation—whether it’s normal everyday operations or instances where an organization is recovering from a recent disaster.
Adopting the multi-cloud strategy can help an organization build an architecture for executing different types of workloads, depending on its infrastructure needs.
By adopting cloud development services like IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS during their development lifecycle, organizations can prevent siloed data storage.
Having a multi-cloud approach facilitates real-time cloud data analytics. In return, it ensures smooth data flow across each application, reducing redundancy.
A multi-cloud approach is a beneficial investment in saving costs on your IT infrastructure. You can minimize the TCO by integrating a public cloud environment that reduces overheads and facilitates scaling up or down according to your needs.
1. Complex Management
Since multi-cloud offers deploying different cloud models, each with different technologies and processes, it is difficult for organizations to manage and provides less visibility to the tech stack or stored data and processes running in different clouds.
2. More Time Taken for Data Transfer
Having multiple cloud vendors increases the delay when transferring data packets from one cloud to another.
The multi-cloud approach provides organizations with freedom and flexibility for moving applications from one location to another. It allows full control over costs, uptime, downtime, and latency, ultimately impacting the customer experience.
Multi-cloud services have consistent APIs to standardize distinct functional areas across clouds. In addition to APIs, they also consist of the object model and identity management as two of their core functions.
1. Single cloud, multiple interactions. 2. Multi-cloud with cross-cloud interactions. 3. Vendor-chosen cloud for autonomous operations.
