Multi-cloud Deployments: How to Pierce the Fog

Multi-cloud capabilities scale IT discovery of all assets to go beyond on-prem data centers

Multiple Clouds, Multiple Challenges

What is even more challenging than deploying an application on a cloud computing platform? Deploying multiple applications on multiple cloud platforms.

Multi-cloud deployments already challenge your IT management tools, processes, and people. After all, anyone with internet access and a credit card can spin up cloud computing resources in minutes, without the knowledge or approval of your IT team. Which means any of those resources can create disruptive management challenges and cyber security vulnerabilities.

To make matters more challenging, your business is likely pursuing or considering more than one cloud computing deployment. Which means it is likely considering or has already chosen more than one cloud computing platform. Which means more than one set of could computing resources, and more than one cloud computing resource vendor relationship, to manage.

Your business and your users want the ability to choose the cloud computing platform best suited for their specific needs and goals. But your business needs the ability to exercise the same high level of control and management over every IT resource, including those hosted on multiple cloud computing platforms. What’s a savvy-but-overworked IT management team to do?

Multi-cloud Deployments: 3 Things You Need to Succeed

Solid Foundations

 Your IT management tools and processes must enable your team to ensure that your cloud computing deployments are configured correctly and appropriately. They must provide the resources each application, developer, supporter, and user needs, as well as the availability, performance, and security your business needs.

Equivalent Visibility

Your cloud-based computing assets must be as visible and manageable as your on-premise assets. This means you need asset discovery, inventory management, and interdependency mapping that spans your premises and all of your chosen cloud computing platforms. It also means you must be able to deliver to your Configuration Management Database (CMDB) equivalently comprehensive, timely, and accurate information about your on-premise and cloud-based assets.

Consolidated Management

Your IT management team and your business both need to avoid the complexities and inconsistencies separate management tools for each computing platform can create. Your core management solutions must integrate seamlessly with each cloud computing platform’s management console, so your IT management decisions are always based on the best available information about all of your assets.
