Multi-Cloud Management

Overview of Multi-Cloud Management


A Brief Understanding of What Multi-Cloud Management Is

As digitalization is taking over the world, companies are constantly looking for options through which they can leverage next-gen technologies, using which they can automate their business and simplify the whole process. This will help businesses sustain themselves in the constantly changing environment.

Multi-cloud management is the set of tools and procedures that help a business monitor and secure its apps and workloads across multiple cloud platforms. The cloud platforms could be public, private, or even a mix of both.

Why Should You Consider Multi-Cloud?

Enterprises should adopt multi-cloud as it is an ideal environment to allocate computing resources and reduce the risk of data loss and downtime. With the constant innovations in the cloud space, a multi-cloud environment allows companies the luxury of choosing the best available options for their cloud service requirements.

Is Multi-Cloud Infrastructure the Future?

The multi-cloud architecture allows the enterprise to distribute its workload across various cloud environments effectively. This helps the organization achieve widespread growth while minimizing risks associated with individual cloud environments.

Multi-cloud infrastructure is the future because:

  • It offers various cloud options to resolve rigorous needs across multiple computing and business functions.
  • Allows organizations to enable a cloud environment, which combines security and cost-savings at the same time.
  • Reduces latency and serves corporate data across geographically disparate locations while maintaining a unified end-user experience.
  • It empowers firms to mix and match platforms in a way that the workloads are not locked into a single cloud provider.


The cloud is about how you do computing, not where you do computing. 

Paul Maritz, former CEO of VMware and Pivotal


Most Efficient Multi-Cloud Management Tools

When you choose a multi-cloud management tool for your organization, it is critical to consider the user experience on offer, the number of customers, financial capabilities etc. Companies should also consider and compare the functionality of the tools they are looking into.

Some of the top multi-cloud management tools are as follows:

  • BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management – defines and manages the complete lifecycle of a resource on a cloud. It also accelerates innovation and continuous delivery of services.
  • Embotics Commander – offers automated provisioning for approvals and decommissioning, with custom actions to reduce sprawl and customizable multi-cloud service.
  • Flexera – helps orchestrate APIs along with built-in assistance for networking, storage and more.
  • HyperGrid – essentially used to monitor cloud service platforms. It also simplifies migration plans for companies using features like auto-discovery and right-sizing.
  • Morpheus – provides operations and automation along with on-premise hypervisors, various cloud services, and swapping technologies.
  • Scalr – enables role-based access control for different users, providing an open policy agent with a single toolset to eliminate any differences.

Top 7 Reasons to Adopt a Multi-Cloud Strategy

Adopting a multi-cloud strategy to ensure optimal distribution of assets across cloud hosting environments. Cloud computing has helped businesses achieve greater flexibility, accessibility, and resilience. With innovating at a rapid pace being the need of the hour, here are some of the top reasons for you to adopt a multi cloud strategy for your business.

  • Businesses have the option of associating with the best-in-class cloud hosting platforms for each task, according to the requirements.
  • Helps improve business agility with workload mobility.
  • Enterprise can scale storage based on the requirements of individual data segments.
  • •t helps build high-speed, low latency infrastructures and reduces costs.
  • Mitigate any risk by switching to another service provider.
  • Evaluate the benefits, terms, and pitfalls of multiple service providers to prevent vendor lock-in.
  • Enjoy competitive pricing and offers such as adjustable contracts, flexible payments, etc.

Top 5 Challenges of Multi-Cloud Management

While multi-cloud is considered to be the wave of the future, there are still some challenges that one might come across. Each cloud service provider has their own set of practices and guidelines, which can sometimes pose as a challenge. Some of the most common challenges are:

Management Complexity – The larger the number of cloud environments an organization uses, the greater the complexities that come along with it. With no standardization across cloud vendors and each cloud vendor having its own portal, APIs, and processes for managing its environment, adding vendors would mean an increasing management burden.

Skill Scarcity – The high demand for skilled professionals with the knowledge of managing multiple cloud platforms makes it difficult for organizations to find ideal talent. The prevalence of a tight labor market and rapidly changing technologies only add to the constraints.

Governance and Compliance – Some companies must pass through multiple compliance requirements to be met, irrespective of where the data is stored. This makes data governance highly critical.

Cost Control – There is always a chance of the cost associated with each service quickly spinning out of control. Vendors using different billing systems and employing different pricing, fees, and infrastructure sizes is also a common issue. 

Interoperability – When organizations migrate their workload from their legacy systems to various cloud platforms, the lack of interoperability is a significant hindrance. This requires IT teams to deal with siloed vendor tools along with other interoperability challenges.


Best Practices for Multi-Cloud Management

Undertaking the right practice for your multi-cloud management is essential for you to attain optimum results from your strategy and achieve the goals that you have set. Some of the most effective practices that you can undertake are listed below:

  • Identify and map your multi-cloud architecture according to your business requirements.
  • Standardize consumption by charting each department’s usage and then increasing or decreasing resources accordingly.
  • Achieve a cohesive multi-sourced ecosystem by integrating six key areas; business, organization, information, governance, processes, and tools.
  • Ensure that an effective and reliable disaster recovery plan is in place.

The German stock exchange, Börse Stuttgart, wanted to improve the speed and agility of their IT operations and security. They also required greater visibility into costs, compute contention issues, and capacity. Using multi-cloud, Börse Stuttgart achieved better service monitoring and faster troubleshooting. They were also able to simplify IT management of their cloud proxy, enhance management reports and dashboards, and shift the usage of IT time from operations to innovation.


Conclusion

For an organization to effectively automate the task and optimize costs, they require a sturdy multi-cloud management platform. With the shift of focus from managing technology infrastructure to business transformation, a business can derive the maximum possible competitive advantage.

Why Microsoft Should Spinoff Its Cloud Business

Article | February 7, 2022

Microsoft currently features old-school solutions that are growing relatively slowly (Office and Windows) and new cloud solutions that are growing tremendously (Dynamics 365 and Azure). If the company stays in its current form, Microsoft stock will keep steadily advancing. But because the company’s total top and bottom lines are never going to increase much more than 30% or 35% per year, the shares are never going to deliver truly huge returns. But that would change if the company was to spin off its rapidly growing cloud businesses. In such a scenario, the current owners of Microsoft stock would receive shares in a cutting edge cloud services company (let’s call it Azure), and shares in a company focused on providing old, mostly PC-based software to businesses and consumers.

Article | March 26, 2022

With the huge amounts of data in all fields, a future in the cloud is imperative to help deal with this explosion of data, especially in the field of intelligence technology. This is the reason why the US Central Intelligence Agency is updating its cloud technology. The agency has recently released a draft request for proposal for its Commercial Cloud Enterprise contract.The C2E tens of billions contract will be a multi-award commercial cloud computing contract with a five-year base period and two five-year options for a period of performance of up to 15 years, according to nextgov.com.In a March 2019 presentation by the Directorate of Digital Innovation, a division of the CIA, the department outlined its vision for C2E. It would be broad and include infrastructure, platform and software cloud services supporting a broad range of users, with a variety of security clearances and a worldwide presence, as reported by techcrunch.com. The principal C2E Program objective is to acquire cloud computing services directly from commercial cloud service providers with established records for innovation and operational excellence in cloud service delivery for a large customer base,the department stated in the presentation.Apparently, the agency prefers to avoid all the attention that the Pentagon’s JEDI cloud procurement process got, and quietly go about its business.

AWS tags US$235 million to expand its cloud infrastructure in Latin America

Article | February 10, 2020

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is raising its stake on cloud computing infrastructure in Latin America. Proof of this is that the IT company will use R$1 billion (around US$235 million) to expand its data center in Sao Paulo. These millions will be used for its Data Processing Center located in that part of Brazil. In addition, a portion of these US$235 million will also be used to increase the services it offers to both public and private parties.The move gives reason to suggest that AWS is upping the ante in the future of startups and tech in the region that rely on cloud services to develop their own products.It launched its cloud center in Brazil in 2011 but it’ll be getting some beefing up thanks to these funds. Moreover, AWS has two Edge networks in São Paulo and two in Rio de Janeiro. As well as one in each of the following cities: Bogotá (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Santiago (Chile).The objective of all of this is to be the region’s prime provider of cloud infrastructure and beat out its competition AKA, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft’s Azure.
