Multi-Cloud Managed Services: maximize the benefits of multi-cloud

With a multi-cloud strategy, a company can combine several public or private cloud offers to build a technically and financially optimized IT infrastructure while maintaining control of its main public cloud providers.
Today, more than 85% of companies that use the cloud have already adopted multi-cloud. In this context, Orange Business helps you get the most out of the cloud in an abundant ecosystem.

Multi-cloud: a winning strategy

Most of the time, multi-cloud is used in organizations whose governance has not yet been centralized and where, over time, each business unit chose the solutions most suited to its needs. Faced with this situation, a multi-cloud strategy is necessary. Multi-cloud has numerous benefits:

  • Avoiding “vendor lock-in” (dependence on a provider)
  • Limiting the risk of offers, services or prices being changed by an operator
  • Gaining agility by using dynamically extensible infrastructures that ensure you are able to handle any situation, including pandemics
  • Having better cost management thanks to a selection of the most competitive offers, provider by provider, and the optimization of usage management
  • Allowing specialization by enabling you to take advantage of the most innovative offers in Artificial Intelligence or IoT, for example
  • Protecting against service interruptions by facilitating switchovers to other clouds in the event of failures or cyberattacks
  • Meeting legal requirements, such as data location requirements under the GDPR

Deploying or optimizing a multi-cloud strategy requires great technical maturity.
