As organizations expand across multiple hybrid cloud platforms, maintaining clear visibility becomes increasingly complex, says Chris Thomas, principal at Deloitte Consulting. “Without robust, cross-platform observability, it’s easy for issues to go undetected, impacting everything from compliance to customer experience,” he says.
To address these challenges, organizations are adopting unified monitoring solutions that aggregate data from all hosting platforms, enabling real-time insights and proactive response, Thomas says. “Organizations should give thought to using AI-driven analytics to identify patterns and anomalies that might otherwise be missed in siloed environments,” he says.
Cost concerns
Keeping costs under control in a multicloud environment can be a challenge for enterprises. This is deeply intertwined with effective financial management, often referred to as FinOps, Simari says. FinOps is a cloud management practice focused on optimizing spending by fostering collaboration among IT, finance, and business teams.
