Standards And Guidelines In Multi-Cloud Management
FutureCIO, Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025
Adopting cloud infrastructure promises enterprises a host of benefits, including cost efficiency, scalability, business continuity, and enhanced collaboration.
Today, few enterprises rely on a single cloud provider; instead, most run workloads across multiple platforms. A 2024 study by IDC revealed that 90% of organisations in the Asia Pacific have adopted a multi-cloud reality. This approach enables enterprises to optimise performance, control costs, and avoid vendor lock-in by utilising services from multiple vendors.
Despite its benefits, enterprises face multiple challenges in managing multiple clouds. IBM has highlighted issues such as maintaining consistent cloud security and compliance policies across various platforms, consistently deploying applications across target environments, and monitoring tools to achieve a singular view and configure consistent responses.
