How to overcome the challenges of MultiCloud management?
Adopting a hybrid or MultiCloud strategy enables companies to combine the benefits of private and public Clouds with on-premises infrastructure and edge devices.
According to one study, 85% of organizations already operate MultiCloud environments, and 98% plan to do so. However, only 41% have an effective strategy for managing these environments.
While the MultiCloud opens opportunities to improve flexibility, resilience and innovation, it presents unique challenges that require strategic planning and execution.
Key challenges of MultiCloud management
1. Complex architecture
With each Cloud platform having its own tools and workflows, management and integration can become thorny and costly.
2. Vendor lock-in
Although a MultiCloud environment offers great flexibility, incompatibilities between providers can limit the portability of workloads.
3. Interoperability and integration
Differences in standards and services between suppliers make it difficult to integrate systems seamlessly.
4. Data management and governance
Lack of centralized visibility can lead to data silos, costly errors and loss of trust.
5. Security and compliance
Consistent application of security policies across multiple platforms is complex, compromising data protection and regulatory compliance.
6. Cost tracking and optimization
Monitoring and analyzing Cloud spending without a centralized tool can lead to unnecessary expenses.
7. Skill shortages
The skills required to manage a MultiCloud environment are scarce, making training or hiring expensive.
8. Performance and latency issues
The geographical distribution of providers can lead to latency problems, affecting the user experience..
