Embracing the Data Cloudscape: The Journey to Multi-Cloud Database Management
Blog post from Tessell
Enterprises have transitioned from on-premises IT infrastructure to cloud computing, marking a strategic evolution in data management characterized by cost savings, scalability, and flexibility. This shift begins with "lift and shift" migrations, progresses to cloud-native transformations, and culminates in multi-cloud strategies. Multi-cloud adoption is driven by the need to avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs and performance, enhance disaster recovery, support geographical expansion, comply with regulatory requirements, and maintain hybrid cloud flexibility. Successful multi-cloud strategies require a comprehensive assessment of enterprise needs, careful planning, and execution, including defining objectives, selecting appropriate providers, implementing robust data management and security protocols, and leveraging effective monitoring tools. As technology and the cloud ecosystem continue to evolve, multi-cloud strategies provide the agility and flexibility needed for enterprises to navigate the dynamic digital landscape and explore new opportunities in data management.
