\"Multi-cloud<\/p>\n

As the world mired in the pandemic conundrum, cloud tech has quickly become central to helping businesses weather the storm. Cloud platforms<\/a> have enabled organizations to embrace the \u2018new normal\u2019 of remote working and sustain businesses under severe disruption.<\/p>\n

The year 2020 has pushed cloud into the mainstream as 90% of enterprises have adopted the innovative tech in various forms. With cloud becoming an inevitable aspect, organizations are now turning the page to the next chapter of their cloud journey: Multi-Cloud Reality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Improved workload performance, reduced service disruption, and vendor diversification are just some of the significant benefits that are enticing businesses to deploy multiple clouds.<\/p>\n

The growing preference for new cloud reality can be fathomed from Flexera\u2019s 2021 State of the Cloud Report, according to which 92% of organizations have adopted a multi-cloud approach.<\/p>\n

The research firm surveyed around 750 global cloud decision-makers to understand the pervading cloud adoption<\/a> strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOVID-19 has accelerated the migration to cloud computing<\/a>,\u201d said Jim Ryan, Flexera CEO. \u201cStill, cloud isn\u2019t magic or the land of milk and honey. Companies are moving fast, facing challenges, and trying to connect cloud computing to business outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another latest research report, \u201cA Snapshot of the Cloud in 2021\u201d by Ensono, revealed that multi-cloud is set to dominate the future of cloud services.<\/p>\n

The survey captured insights into how organizations progressed in their journey to the cloud. It highlights current and future cloud strategies. The research firm surveyed 500 cloud decision-makers across the US and the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis report captures a clear picture of the industry and reveals how companies\u2019 investments in cloud services have changed over the past year,\u201d mentioned Bryan Doerr, EVP Product and Technology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the survey, around 42% of the respondents are pursuing a multi-cloud strategy, with most companies engaging primary and secondary vendors for cloud needs.<\/p>\n

In a bid to avoid vendor lock-in with one cloud platform, many companies are going all-in on a multi-cloud strategy. Enterprises are adopting specific cloud platforms based on specific needs.<\/p>\n

Almost 72% of the respondents mentioned they have chosen a new cloud provider<\/a> in the last year, and 26% have done so in the past six months. However, only 1% indicated that they opted to stick to the same cloud provider.<\/p>\n

\"Public<\/p>\n

\u201cWith nearly half of respondents indicating they\u2019ve chosen a new provider in the last year, it\u2019s clear that shares of the cloud market are completely up for grabs between the major providers. What\u2019s most important for organizations right now is investing in the right cloud strategy for their IT workloads,\u201d quoted Doerr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
