Multi-cloud is an excellent strategy for enterprises that are continually evolving and innovating. They are growing as organizations see the value of expanding their cloud platform portfolio as the fastest way better to serve customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. It allows their applications to scale through your infrastructure’s flexibility.

 

Organizations implement a multi-cloud environment for the following reasons:

 

Vendor Lock-In

Since cloud-native applications are based on containers and microservices, these can be designed to be portable between clouds. Organizations do not want to be locked-in to one cloud provider’s infrastructure. The additional choice of multiple cloud environments gives flexibility and the ability to best breed solutions. This enables organizations to take advantage of the best features as well as pricing from each cloud provider. And from a technical perspective, there is less chance of a single point of failure and providing companies with the ability to harness additional computing resources.

Performance

The network’s performance is imperative. Organizations with a wide range of cloud-based workloads will minimize latency. This can be accomplished with multi-cloud providers.

Disaster Avoidance

Outages sometimes happen due to a disaster and other times due to human error. Having multiple cloud environments ensures that you always have computed resources and data storage available to avoid downtime.

Compliance

Data governance requirements will often require customer data to be held in specific locations. Many multi-cloud environments can help enterprises achieve their goals for governance, risk management, and compliance regulations.

Cost Savings

Competitive pricing can be realized when you work with multiple cloud vendors.

 

Migrating to multi-cloud deployment is not a decision that should be entered into lightly. This strategy should make for better security, failover, and disaster recovery as it combines the best services that each platform offers. This allows companies to customize an infrastructure that is specific to their business goals. A multi-cloud architecture also provides a lower risk. If one web service host fails, a business can continue to operate with other platforms in a multi-cloud environment versus storing all data in one place.
