\"\"Getting one cloud can be overwhelming, but getting a second? It might sound crazy, but that\u2019s exactly what many enterprises are doing. The multi-cloud approach is becoming more popular with increased cloud options. The idea behind it is to utilize multiple cloud providers for different applications.<\/p>\n

Most managed service providers have a specialized cloud infrastructure they work for. This means they have advanced exposure and expertise to get the most out of any given cloud infrastructure. Some even have backgrounds with each hyperscale cloud. This doesn\u2019t always translate to a definitive multi-cloud option, but working with the same provider can make your partnership easier to manage.<\/p>\n

Optimizing workloads<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There are a lot of reasons to utilize multiple clouds. Cloud infrastructures have different strengths and weaknesses. Some workloads run better on one cloud platform versus another. Measuring the cost to performance is important.<\/p>\n

Being able to run workloads in an optimal environment is what every enterprise is looking for. If you feel that your cloud platform isn\u2019t enough for a specific task, there\u2019s no reason not to utilize an additional platform. You can work with your managed service provider to find what will work best.<\/p>\n

No single cloud can do everything a large enterprise needs. Every company is different; thus, every cloud infrastructure is going to fit different specifications. A multi-cloud environment allows IT teams to play around and figure out what works best for their workloads. Having additional options is almost always the right choice in computing.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t get backed into a corner<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Vendor lock-in can be one of the driving fears for enterprises researching a cloud service provider. Sometimes it can be incredibly difficult to transition from one cloud vendor to another. If you fear getting contractually locked into a vendor, a sound multi-cloud strategy can prevent this.<\/p>\n

Managed service providers offer migration services to help when you need to move. This is an incredibly difficult and often overwhelming task for enterprises to work towards on their own. Being able to rely on a provider\u2019s help during a move increases peace of mind during a largescale cloud change.<\/p>\n

The cloud marketplace is constantly changing with new options. A proper strategy will allow your provider to integrate new tools and solutions without reworking your entire cloud architecture. If you\u2019re stuck with a single cloud, you may miss out on a tool you find interesting. With multiple clouds, you\u2019ll be able to port a tool over to both clouds with proper management.<\/p>\n

Safer data<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Isolating data is always a sound option. Maybe one cloud provider has better data storage options for your company\u2019s specific needs or a certain MSP is only available on a different cloud. It\u2019s also possible that you want to keep your cloud workloads separate from other types of data that your company holds. Sometimes it\u2019s cheaper to keep data separate.<\/p>\n

This comes back to weighing cost to performance. Sure, you could keep all your data and workloads on one cloud, but that may end up being costly. MSPs work with enterprises to find out where costs can be optimized. Whether it would mean adding a private cloud, or another public cloud, a cloud MSP will be there to help.<\/p>\n

Additionally, some clouds have a higher focus on security or better optimization with certain security tools. Obviously, a higher security platform would be safer for data storage.\u00a0Having multiple clouds gives your company complete control over your cloud data. It mitigates risk and makes data migration much easier.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The conclusion is simple. Every company is going to have different demands from their cloud infrastructure, and they need to weigh the pros and cons of each. Managed service providers enhance enterprise strengths while eliminating weaknesses. Figure out what cloud your developers enjoy working on the most and what tools they\u2019ll need. Figure out where you want data. It all comes down to what your specific company needs and who can help.<\/p>\n
