Multi-Cloud

Companies use different cloud environments for legacy reasons or leverage the right cloud service based on specific needs or requirements like data sovereignty or other regulation.

Reasons for a hybrid and multi-cloud strategy

• Regulatory and data sovereignty (patient record or financial records needs to stay in a country or region)
• Low latency and edge workloads (up to the cloud, process, and back down)
• Application and datacenter modernization
• Business continuity and resilience (backup of data and app into another cloud, no lock-in)
• Freedom to use more than one public cloud
• Acquisition
• Different offerings from different cloud providers
