FINAL WORD

Here is why any-to-any cloud is replacing multi-cloud

The era of traditional siloed legacy infrastructures is giving way to a new paradigm of any-to-any cloud platforms , where any-to-any cloud platforms empower leaders to transform technological challenges into competitive advantages , explains Andy Lockhart at Cloudflare .

In today ’ s rapidly evolving business landscape , leaders face the challenge of steering their organisations through complexity while delivering innovation and growth .

A recent commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Cloudflare , revealed a striking insight . 30 % of top IT decision-makers across Europe are grappling with a sense of diminishing control over their organisations ’ technological and security frameworks . This feeling is attributed not only to a 66 % increase in the volume of applications but also to a significant 76 % expansion in the variety of deployment environments .
Significant challenges lie in managing the increasing complexity of today ’ s digital ecosystems while ensuring operational efficiency , regulatory compliance , and uninterrupted productivity . According to the same Forrester study , a unanimous 99 % of enterprises recognise the indispensable need for secure , high-performance connectivity that bridges any system , application , location , and across multiple cloud services .
