Multicloud

The multi-cloud has evolved from other types of IT clouds. Of course, we already have public cloud, private cloud, enterprise cloud and hybrid cloud, but those apparently don’t describe architectures that really embrace the cloud.

Obviously, multi-cloud includes multiple clouds. So does a hybrid cloud. But when it comes to multi-cloud vs. hybrid cloud, there’s a key difference that’s nudging the market to focus more on multi-cloud..

Multi-cloud, by nature, isn’t one thing, but rather a series of entities that must be brought under centralized management.

A multi-cloud, on the other hand, makes no distinction between the kinds of clouds that you operate. Perhaps your multi-cloud doesn’t have a private cloud at all, and you operate everything on AWS and Microsoft Azure with a little bit of G Suite thrown in. That’s a multi-cloud environment.

The individual clouds in a multi-cloud setup may not be integrated with one another. That’s part of the reason for the plurality in multi-cloud as opposed to the singularity of hybrid cloud. In a hybrid cloud environment, one of the sometimes incorrect assumptions is that the cloud components are integrated to form the cohesive singular entity. That’s often the case, but not always.

With multi-cloud, applications can span a number of clouds, but they don’t have to. Components of an application live wherever it makes sense. People don’t see data centers anymore, but they view the multi-cloud as a massive fabric that binds together application components.
