Cost Still Biggest Driver For Multicloud, Study Finds
CIO, February 27th, 2023
Like it or not, 98% of IaaS and PaaS users are already in a multicloud environment, but their strategies for dealing with it vary. A new study looks at how CIOs are facing up to the challenge.
Italian insurer Reale Group found itself with four cloud providers running around 15% of its workloads, and no clear strategy to manage them. 'It was not a result we were seeking, it was the result of reality,' said Marco Barioni, CEO of Reale ITES, the company's internal IT engineering services unit.
Since then, Barioni has taken control of the situation, putting into action a multi-year plan to move over half of Reale Group's core applications and services to just two public clouds in a quest for cost optimization and innovation.
