Similar to IT technology, the development of the cloud is accompanied by digital transformation, and has experienced trials and explorations entering the era of comprehensive practices at the current stage. While enterprises are enjoying the agility and innovation provided by cloud services, there are a series of challenges and pain points that come with it. Most enterprises cannot simply abandon existing systems and build entirely new platforms on the cloud. They must consider the requirements and limitations of talent, technology, cost, compliance, security, environment, etc., before transforming and building IT systems with multi-cloud visioning to support the sustainable development of businesses.

In many ways, the cloud1 is more secure than a traditional data center. Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform. Servers are easier to patch and won’t become outdated within a few years; there aren’t any forgotten boxes sitting in a dark corner with a note reading, “DO NOT TURN OFF.” However, assets on the cloud continue to be compromised, just as those stored in traditional data centers.

As organizations strive to move forward in their multi-cloud journey, they face the challenge of having different infrastructure across their private and public cloud platforms. The major public clouds use different hypervisors, networking and storage, and management tools, while most on-premises applications run on VMware vSphere®. Organizations see the benefits of having consistent architecture on-premises as in the cloud, enabling consistent infrastructure and operations across environments. They can leverage their existing skills and automation and reduce complexity and management burden. But organizations also want to take advantage of public cloud services to modernize applications and speed up their digital transformation.

Adequate data usage is a strong differentiator for organizations, and data masters who do it right can expect higher customer satisfaction, revenue growth and improved margins. In this journey of building data initiatives, the cloud is a strong enabler, bringing efficiency and making state-of-the-art AI and Data Analytics tools easier to access. At the same time, consumers’ trust, especially in the use of their personal data, is a strong differentiator, and data privacy, security and fair use are in strong demand from citizens, users, employees, shareholders, and governments.

Businesses once doubted the long-term benefits of moving their traditional, on-premises workloads to the cloud. But those doubts didn’t last long. The ROI of cloud migration was realized quickly and decisively. Businesses eagerly shifted their workloads to the cloud and realized the financial benefits of doing so. However, in the rush to the cloud, clarity on security — and who is responsible for it — is often lost.
