Hybrid cloud is now the default infrastructure for most enterprises. In fact, 82 per cent now have a hybrid cloud strategy – with an average of 2.6 public and 2.7 private clouds per organisation. But a lot of this adoption has been tactical, so many lack a strategic cloud management platform. This limits the value enterprises get from the hybrid cloud and creates governance, risk and operational problems. Instead, organisations must pivot towards higher-value, more robust use of the hybrid cloud.
The optimal position is to have a single-source view of cloud environments in order to simply optimise cost, standardise automation and manage security.
