Is Multicloud Deployment Worth the Hassle?
FREMONT, CA: Multicloud environment promises that the enterprises can share their workloads and run their applications in any of the cloud environment depending on the cost, functionality, or performance requirements. Moreover, a multicloud environment advocates a smooth transfer of services to another service provider with minimal effort.
In reality, multicloud implementation can be different. With an increase in the number of platforms, the complexity and management of the overall system are critical for an enterprise. It gets even more challenging when the individual multicloud services are required to coordinate among themselves. The move to multi-cloud services depends on various factors.
With advancements in application and services, organizations might choose a primary cloud service and leverage it to the fullest. Some enterprise may distribute their infrastructures and services over various providers as they are large enough to spend time and people. In this case, the clouds must provide differentiated value relevant to the workload requirements.

Making Multicloud Work
As stated earlier, firms need to understand their requirements before switching to a cloud or a multicloud environment. Each of the top cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform excels in different areas. While Azure’s lengthy heritage works well for enterprise, AWS is great for the consumer solution, and Google Cloud Platform incorporates high-quality analytic tools and big data.
Most of the companies are adept at moving their workloads to on-site servers or privately hosted solutions. But the challenge in utilizing public cloud is the lack of significant knowledge. Firms don’t have resources or skills to proceed with the deployment process.
Multicloud Management Challenges
Apart from managing disparate cloud environments, enterprises must be able to juggle invoices from various providers. They are also expected to keep track of the changes in the security policies and to ensure the perennial optimization of these environments for each workload.
However, adopting a multi-cloud environment enables organizations to access the latest technologies that public clouds have to offer. Finally, it is up to the enterprises to weigh their requirements and decide whether the advantages of multi-clouds are worth the overheads associated with them.
