A multi-cloud strategy enables businesses to design, develop, and deploy applications across different cloud vendors without compromising on security or functionality.
It delivers four main benefits, which are detailed below.
Multi-cloud infrastructure gives companies easier access to the best cloud-native applications across different vendors through the use of containers and APIs. Thanks to this, companies can build superior, modern systems that allow for rapid adaptation to changing market conditions. At a time when the business landscape is constantly evolving, having this increased adaptability is extremely important, and enables companies to maximise the advantages they have over their competition.
Traditionally, using multiple cloud vendors in a single organisation would be a scalability nightmare. However, through a well-designed multi-cloud strategy, scalability can be as easy as if you were using a single cloud provider – all while benefiting from the ability to pick and choose which services to use from a wide range of cloud vendors. Furthermore, using multiple cloud providers provides your business with leverage during vendor negotiations.
Multi-cloud systems enable cloud experts in one vendor to share their best practices with your experts in other vendors. This knowledge sharing results in improved efficiencies across your entire multi-cloud system – including both public and private clouds.
Cloud providers don’t always offer their services or store data in every region. This forces multinational companies to use different vendors in different territories – which can be a huge challenge if they don’t have a strong multi-cloud strategy. If their strategy is robust, however, branches can use different vendors that are appropriate for the regulatory landscape of their region, without any issues.
Organizations have come to understand these benefits, as according to the 2023 State of the Cloud Report, 87% of organizations are embracing multi-cloud. This indicates a future trend where companies will prioritise hiring employees who have multi-cloud skills. Torque IT believes that this will be the case even for companies that do not actively pursue multi-cloud, as the expertise provides future flexibility. This same report found that the adoption of cloud configuration tools is shifting, indicating a need for skilled professionals in this field. Multi-cloud professionals get the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and collaborate with highly skilled professionals in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. A cloud certification unlocks this world full of opportunities, and VMware Cloud certifications from Torque IT can open the door to career paths like Cloud Architect, Cloud Engineer, Cloud Security Analyst, and Cloud Infrastructure Administrator. With the right certification, you can also become a Cloud Consultant or a Cloud Project Manager.
