NETWORKS “ Over 70 % of enterprises now use three or more clouds ”
TUSHAR TAMBAY VICE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT , ENTRUST
Increased complexity requires consistency and cross-platform capabilities With the capabilities of cloud computing infiltrating almost every aspect of our lives , it was inevitable that the world would witness new cloud platforms popping up all over the place . This has generated increased data distribution , leading to complexity as customers across both public and private spheres demand seamless integration between individual cloud platforms . And thus came the birth of multicloud .
It ’ s a cloud computing solution that allows portability across multiple providers ’ infrastructures . Multicloud solutions are primarily built on an open-source , cloud-native technology called Kubernetes – supported by all public cloud providers – which helps to manage workloads across multiple clouds with a central console . Generally , multicloud provides organisations with the flexibility to optimise performance , utilise the best tech available , and control associated costs .
Perhaps the simplest example of multicloud would be SaaS integration via different vendors . In enterprise terms , however , multicloud refers to running applications at PaaS or IaaS organisations via multiple cloud providers , such as Amazon Web Services , IBM , and Google , to name a few – which is gaining in popularity .
