Pure Storage Explains The Stages Of A Professional Cloud Roadmap
Organizations need a suitable storage base to support their multi-cloud environment. By implementing modern, flexible Storage, companies can adapt to modern cloud architectures and scale faster and easier for different workloads and variable data patterns.
Intelligent investments in storage infrastructure can enable companies to accelerate digital transformation, increase analytics maturity, and seamlessly switch between private and public clouds to unite cloud ecosystems in one data layer.
Be Critical And Selective, But Also Remain Flexible
Introducing a multi-cloud strategy does not mean that all applications and infrastructures have to be relocated to the cloud. It’s often better to leave certain things in place. Organizations should think carefully about what should be moved to the cloud – and why. Knowing why they should move to the cloud is key to balancing their multi-cloud motivation with their goal.
Regardless of these decisions, choosing the proper basic infrastructure can offer flexibility to adapt over time what remains and what is possible and make this back and forth possible. When cloud interoperability is a priority, a framework for flexibility is already in motion. When cloud providers bring new functions or lower prices to the market, interoperability enables specific workloads to be converted and new, cloud-based products and processes to be used.
One Last Tip: Develop The Strategy Further
The work is not done once the multi-cloud strategy is defined. In the opinion of Pure Storage, it must be continuously developed to meet the changing requirements and needs – and ideally to anticipate them. With a well-thought-out and dynamic multi-cloud approach supported by the right tools, functions and infrastructures, the overall strategy can be more easily adjusted if necessary. Environments can be optimized over time, and planning for future network and cloud rollout requirements can be made.
