Here’s what we discussed:
Many companies have embraced multi-cloud strategies, either as a strategic decision to maximize flexibility, optimise costs and take advantage of the unique capabilities and strengths of various cloud services or as a tactical response to a business requirement or challenge.
Although the benefits are clear, multi-cloud strategies require detailed planning to achieve their full potential. Not every application, especially those of long legacy naturally shifts to a cloud environment. There are also genuine concerns about the unpredictability and ongoing management of cloud costs with some enterprises already adopting repatriation due to higher than budgeted expenditure.
Whether you have arrived in multi-cloud by necessity or strategic design, participants joined us on 18th of June to brainstorm strategies with Equinix and a selective group of technology leaders. We focused on these topics:
- Aligning your multi-cloud strategy to your business strategy
- Simplifying your cloud architecture
- Managing cost and optimising performance
- Understanding the regulatory compliance landscape and implications
- Improving interoperability with on-prem and across-cloud service providers
- Achieving seamless integration and efficient data exchange between environments
