Is a Multi-Cloud Strategy Right for You?
We break down the pros and cons of using multiple cloud providers for enhanced flexibility and resilience, helping you navigate the complexity of modern IT infrastructure.
Explore the BreakdownDefining the Multi-Cloud Approach
A multi-cloud strategy involves using two or more cloud computing services from different providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to run your business operations. This avoids reliance on a single vendor and allows you to choose the "best-of-breed" solution for each specific business function.
The Advantages
Enhanced Resilience (BC/DR)
By distributing workloads, you reduce the risk of downtime. If one provider experiences an outage, your critical Line of Business (LOB) applications can failover to another environment.
This supports our critical Business Continuity process to ensure rapid recovery.
Best-of-Breed Automation
You can leverage specific tools for specific jobs—like using Google Drive for collaboration while running Xero for accounting.
Our automation workflows utilize these distinct platforms to reduce manual tasks.
No Vendor Lock-In
Avoiding dependence on a single provider gives you leverage in pricing negotiations and ensures you aren't stuck if a vendor's service quality degrades.
The Challenges
Management Complexity
Managing multiple dashboards and login portals increases administrative overhead and can lead to fragmented visibility.
We mitigate this via centralized monitoring tools like Syncro and JumpCloud.
Expanded Attack Surface
More cloud environments mean more entry points for potential attackers. Consistent security policies are harder to enforce across different platforms.
Requires a unified cybersecurity stack (EDR, PAM, Managed AV).
Backup Disparity
Ensuring consistent backups across different SaaS providers and cloud servers requires a rigorous strategy, rather than a "set it and forget it" approach.
