Due to the increase in flexibility and resilience, more and more organizations are adopting multi-cloud networks. However, migrating to a multi-cloud network and managing it can be an ongoing and complex process.

The management of multi-cloud platforms becomes more complex due to the increase in the number of vendors, but this also creates opportunities. For example, a multi-cloud network architecture is ideal for organizations with geographically distributed users, some of whom may not be near the enterprise's data center.

The process of moving business to the cloud can easily overwhelm the organization and continue to move forward without considering possible problems. Organizations need to consider which vendors' services are more appropriate and how to optimize these platforms for performance.

Alex Dalglish, director of services at Comparex UK, said: "the more platforms an organization has, the greater the diversity of multi-cloud architectures, which in turn poses greater challenges for managers."

1. Define your own efficiency goals

How can enterprises efficiently use and manage multiple public clouds? Then it's best to be more specific about your intentions. The pursuit of "efficiency" in abstraction sounds good, but it is unlikely to produce results. The same is true if companies have set "improving efficiency" as one of the goals of their overall multi-cloud strategy.

"computer scientists like to call this efficiency a 'vague term', just like short, high, near, far, slow, fast words that cannot be quantified." Jeremy Vance, vice president of cloud computing technology at Pabst Brewing USA, said, "maintaining continuous management of multiple public cloud environments depends on the enterprise's definition of efficiency."

Vance points out that the cost efficiency of the enterprise is very different from the development efficiency, and the development efficiency is different from the end-user support efficiency (depending on the number of employees).

two。 Not all cloud platforms are the same

At the most basic level, basically all cloud computing vendors provide similar types of services, but each vendor is different, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides automatic extension capabilities. Cloud computing providers often operate without knowing each other's activities, making it difficult to decide which vendors' services to use.

As a result, services may change without assessing the impact this will have on customers who combine cloud computing services. To solve this problem, organizations should understand not only the current operating procedures of their various cloud computing vendors, but also how these operators may change in the future.

"all cloud computing platforms provide the same type of service, which may be the efficiency that organizations get from each different vendor." "organizations choose vendors based on the operational services that may be running or the purposes these workloads may require, and each vendor has its own style and attractiveness," Dalglish said.
