The Benefits of Multi-Cloud Platforms for Enterprise Businesses

Summary

Choosing a multicloud platform can deliver significant business benefits

89% of enterprises presently employ a multicloud strategy, according to Flexera’s State of the Cloud Report 2022. Multicloud environments are those in which an organisation employs more than one cloud platform to fulfill its objectives. This allows businesses to reap the benefits of each platform while mitigating its limitations. The average employee utilizes 36 cloud-based services, while the average enterprise uses nearly 1,300. Granular control and full insight into IT resources are made possible by having a centralized view of a multicloud system.

The use of numerous cloud services also increases resilience in the event of a disaster, power outage, or cyberattack. Avoiding Vendor Lock-in assists enterprises in avoiding the unpleasant vendor lock-in that arises when a company’s business becomes too complex to transfer from one cloud provider to another. Multicloud setups can quickly become expensive, but using a dedicated multicloud platform provider can significantly reduce costs. Because containers are self-contained environments, developers can concentrate on application logic and dependencies while worrying less about setups and platform versions. As multi-cloud strategies become more prevalent across all industries, it is more vital than ever to ensure that you can optimize your strategy while also preserving and securing your most strategic resource: your data.
