A growing number of enterprises are transitioning to a multi-cloud approach. By tapping into cloud services provided by several different vendors, adopters gain the flexibility to select services from individual providers based on performance, security, compliance requirements, geographical location, and perhaps most important of all, pricing.
Many enterprises find it valuable to have a presence in multiple clouds to drive optimal business outcomes. “Even if a technology leader’s goal is to concentrate on one cloud hyperscaler, an acquisition or new business partnership could quickly change the focus,” says Tim Potter, a principal with business advisory firm Deloitte Consulting.
