Customers want a multicloud environment where multiple clouds can work together seamlessly; where applications can be easily built, deployed, managed, and migrated; and where interoperable end-to-end security remains intact.

You need a strategy and service that will help you establish a strong multicloud foundation for your business and get you up and running quickly to deal with current unprecedented times and also prepare you for the uncertainties of the future. It is also critical to have a robust environment that can handle the diverse capabilities of application and workload management, high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR), and in-built cloud security to drive both business resiliency and continuity for positive revenue impact.

However, with multicloud strategies spanning multiple domains including networking, security, analytics, management, and infrastructure strategies, an organization’s ability to innovate quickly is impacted by their skills, processes, and tools. With the rapid evolution of our multicloud world, many organizations find that their operations are not optimized for multicloud operations.

Furthermore, applications are the lifeblood of an organization. Moving applications between on-premises and public cloud environments is key to faster ROI. However, environments are fragmented, which adds to the cost and complexity quotient. You need your multicloud environment to work as one, so you can reap the benefits of cloud efficiency, cost optimization, and faster time-to-market for applications.
