How to Manage Multiple Cloud Providers

In 2017, the total spending on public cloud solutions alone is set to reach $122.5 billion, an increase of 24.4% over 2016, according to figures from IDC. The research firm also forecast public cloud spending will reach $203.4 billion worldwide by 2020, so it's clear that the appetite for these services is not set to slow down any time soon.

But with so many options to choose from, and with each business having its own unique requirements, finding a single provider that can meet all of a company's needs is likely to be an impossible task. Therefore, the obvious solution is for enterprises to adopt a multi-cloud approach, where they use a variety of cloud platforms from different providers to meet individual needs.
