Will Multi-Clouds Play Nice Together?
The last two years has seen discussions about cloud computing evolve from the public / private / hybrid split to the reality that most enterprises will be creating a complex, multi-cloud strategy. Companies are wary of committing all of their resources to a single cloud, and instead are choosing to spread the risk - and the benefits - of cloud computing across multiple providers and internal infrastructures, as they follow their business needs. Will this approach be successful? How large is the challenge to get multiple clouds to work in a unified way?
This power panel at 21st Cloud Expo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, will bring together experts with diverse experience and points of view with the evolving world of cloud computing.
