Why a Multicloud and Intercloud Strategy is Necessary

The Gartner report "The Future of Cloud Data Management is Multicloud" discusses how data and analytics leaders should prepare for a multicloud and intercloud world. It explains that multicloud refers to a service operating on more than one cloud, while intercloud involves integration between services on different cloud infrastructures. Developing an effective strategy requires understanding the technology implications and challenges of each style of cloud deployment. Most organizations use multiple public cloud providers, so selecting the right multicloud strategy is crucial for meeting business needs. The report also highlights the importance of data integration in a hybrid cloud world, as well as the need to support diverse topologies in hybrid integration platform strategies.
