Operational complexity, integration challenges, governance blind spots, and skills gaps are just a few of the issues that can hamper multicloud network management.
Gaining firm control over a multicloud network environment can deliver performance, efficiency, and security gains – but it won’t be easy.
Managing a multicloud network is a highly demanding task, says Robert Orshaw, a managing director at Deloitte Consulting. “The primary challenges include maintaining a holistic view of security controls, meeting regulatory standards across varied cloud platforms, securing data across multiple providers to prevent unauthorized access or accidental loss, and managing the architectural and operational complexity of utilizing multiple providers,” he explains. “Additionally, a multicloud environment can introduce cost inefficiencies due to resource sprawl across different platforms.”
