VMware : How to Achieve Multi-Cloud Success Without Compromise

Multi-cloud is here to stay. In fact, 73% of enterprises are using two or more public clouds today.¹ The reality? Most organizations struggle to transform to this model and face many obstacles before they can fully reap its benefits.

Multi-cloud for the win

Why the move to multi-cloud? Successful multi-cloud organizations report a 35% revenue increase from faster modern app delivery; 41% fewer hours and costs spent on IT infrastructure; and 35% productivity savings across a distributed workforce. ² To put these benefits into perspective, multi-cloud architectures help organizations transform customer experiences, scale product and service innovation, and empower great employee digital experiences from anywhere.

With opportunities come challenges

However, nearly one in four executives¹ have concerns about using multiple clouds, including:

• Security, data or privacy issues
• Inconsistent infrastructure in APIs, databases, networks and security
• The need for specialized skills to support public clouds
• Managing/optimizing spend
• Increased complexity from policies that manage individual environments

While multi-cloud architectures are complex today, they will only become more so in the future. When addressing this growing complexity, many organizations find themselves making decisions that result in trade-offs among developer autonomy, spend, security, and employee access to apps. This compromise means you may never get full value from your multi-cloud investments.

Say goodbye to trade-offs

At VMware, we believe every business should experience freedom AND control of their multi-cloud infrastructure. You should be able to experience all the benefits of multi-cloud, including:

• Developer autonomy AND DevSecOps efficiency
• Enterprise apps on any cloud AND full control of every environment
• Anywhere access for employees AND world-class security
