Multicloud – It’s imminent

2021 has to be the year of recovery after a pandemic hit 2020 meant most of the organisations re-strategized to focus on survival rather than growth. One of the common themes across various IT trends and projections will be the multicloud spend. A recent IDG’s survey of 551 IT decision makers found 21 percent already use three or more cloud services.

As organisations roll out their multicloud strategy to have the right cloud for right workload to increase agility and automation, cost optimisation, and availability to support their business needs, there will be lots of changes in the cloud landscape for most of the organisations, as projected here.
