Organizations are adopting a hybrid multicloud environment to accelerate their journey to becoming digital enterprises. IT leaders are faced with a challenge of demystifying the hybrid multicloud environment to unlock the true value of digital transformation.
According to IBM Institute for Business Value, by 2021, 90 percent of the organizations that are already on cloud plan to adopt multiple hybrid clouds. However, only 30 percent have the required procedures and tools in place and just 30 percent have a multicloud orchestrator or other multicloud management platforms.
Build for variety, velocity and volume
Moving IT functions to the cloud can give organizations many benefits, but orchestration and automation across multiple technologies, cloud environments and service providers can be complex and expensive. To ensure success, enterprises must seek answers to the following:
How to build cloud native and DevOps capabilities in a safe, secure and cost-effective manner
How to avoid vendor lock-in and leverage the benefits of open architectures
How to orchestrate across multiple technologies and clouds
How to quickly build a virtualized or containerized platform for faster application development and deployment
How to enable development team to provision or deprovision environments efficiently
How to build infrastructure services for a multicloud environment
To ride on the success of cloud initiatives in the digital era, businesses today must build their cloud for variety, velocity and volume.
Variety – Build cloud to manage the variety of heterogeneous technology complexities of both container and virtual workloads and topologies of cloud deployment models.
Velocity – Build cloud to manage the speed of change and reduce the timelines to incorporate changes across multiple cloud end points.
Volume – Build cloud design to manage the scalability of capacity as required without disruption in efficiencies.
