Organizations are increasingly deploying applications across multiple public cloud locations in a meaningful way. Modern application environments are driving this adoption as organizations seek the optimal performance and the ability to set up connections quickly and easily to these cloud providers.

Read this Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) study to learn more about what’s driving multicloud networking adoption and requirements.

Highlights:

  • Top multicloud networking challenges relate to security policies, interoperability, and managing heterogenous environments.
  • Many organizations have created cloud centers of excellence to facilitate cloud adoption.
  • Multicloud networking is a dedicated IT budget line item and will see increased spending over the next 12-18 months.
When asked what the management requirements are for multi-cloud networking, the top response was cloud-based management. This was followed closely by the ability to connect to as many PaaS and SaaS vendors as possible, security integration, end-to-end visibility, and the ability to connect to as many public cloud providers as possible.
