EDITOR’S QUESTION Organisations interviewed by IDC agreed on many of the key steps for achieving multicloud success, including: • Define and implement workload placement policies specific to different classes of clouds • Collaborate with LOB and developer teams to identify current and emerging requirements and SLAs • Leverage software-defined infrastructure and automation wherever possible. Invest in unified multicloud management solutions including a common service catalogue • Plan for an evolutionary, multiyear journey that matches the rate at which application architectures and development environments evolve The real solution is about making the clouds themselves invisible. It’s about hyperconverging the cloud. It’s about a hybrid cloud environment with a seamless experience between public and private clouds so that the ‘where’ becomes secondary to the ‘how.’ How can we enable our company to scale? How can we deliver new applications? How can we control costs? How can we get visibility into our entire infrastructure? How can we make better, more informed decisions? Nutanix puts the reins back in the hands of IT. Giving IT organisations freedom to focus on the customer experience. Empowering businesses to be agile and build future- forward hybrid cloud infrastructure that is invisible to the organisation, but makes the IT team visible. Not just visible – empowered and relevant. www.intelligentcio.com
