Multicloud management
What is multicloud management?

Multicloud management efficiently manages resources, workloads, and services in many cloud computing environments. It optimizes speed, cost, and security across public, private, and on-premises infrastructure.

Each cloud platform's resources, performance, compliance, and workload optimization are part of multicloud management. Centralized visibility and control, automation of routine tasks, seamless cloud connectivity, and data and workload transfer are crucial to multicloud administration. Multicloud management improves IT flexibility, resilience, and scalability by using many cloud providers' capabilities and avoiding vendor lock-in.

How does multicloud management work?

Multicloud management coordinates and orchestrates resources, workloads, and services across public, private, and on-premises clouds. Here's how multicloud management works: 

  • Complexity: Juggling multiple cloud platforms with different interfaces, APIs, and tools can be a nightmare. Multicloud management provides a unified platform or set of tools to manage everything from a single location, simplifying administration.
  • Cost Optimization: With multiple cloud providers, it's easy to lose track of spending and miss out on potential savings. Multicloud management tools offer cost visibility and analytics, helping you identify the most cost-effective options across different providers.
  • Security and Compliance: Maintaining consistent security policies and complying with regulations across multiple clouds is complex. Multicloud management offers tools to enforce security standards and automate compliance tasks.
  • Centralized management: Multicloud management tools centralize resource and workload management across cloud environments. This centralization lets administrators manage all cloud resources from one dashboard, simplifying operations and improving visibility.
  • Resource provisioning: Multicloud management tools enable virtual machine, storage, and networking provisioning across clouds. Administrators can optimize resource use and performance by allocating resources by workload and policy.
  • Workload orchestration: Multicloud management platforms deliver and manage heterogeneous cloud workloads. This comprises workload allocation, scaling, and lifecycle management to ensure performance and availability independent of infrastructure.
  • Policy enforcement: Multicloud management systems implement governance and security standards across all clouds. These standards comprise access control, compliance, data protection, and encryption rules to ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Integration and interoperability: Multicloud management tools connect with cloud providers' APIs and services to facilitate workload mobility between cloud environments. This lets companies use each cloud provider's finest features without vendor lock-in.

Multicloud management makes managing multiple cloud environments easier, enabling IT operations to be more agile, consistent, and efficient. By centralizing administration, resource provisioning, workload orchestration, policy enforcement, cost optimization, and integration, multicloud management solutions help enterprises maximize hybrid and multicloud infrastructures.
