Cloud Computing: Choose a Multi-Cloud Strategy or Fly Solo

Multi-cloud strategy is slowly becoming a buzzword in the Cloud industry over the last couple of years, with 2019 research from RightScale (now Flexera) indicating that 84% of enterprises are investigating or actively pursuing a multi-cloud strategy.

What is a Multi-cloud strategy?

It means that instead of using only one single Infrastructure-as-a-service (IAAS) Cloud provider that best meets the needs your business, you can use a Multi-cloud strategy by adopting a mixture of IaaS services from two or more cloud providers and sharing workloads between each, and choosing services that provide the greatest flexibility, reliability, most features, or are offered at a much better price point.

In simple terms, Multi-cloud is a strategy where an organisation uses two or more clouds from different cloud providers. This can be a combination of software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) or infrastructure as a service (IaaS) models.
