MULTICLOUD USAGE
MAKES THE USE OF
CLOUD MANAGEMENT
PLATFORMS NECESSARY
Cloud adoption remains one of the biggest talking
points throughout the region, with more and more
businesses and organisations recognising its benefits.
Matthias Pfützner, Cloud Solution Architect at Red
Hat, talks to us about the ‘multicloud trend’ and its
challenges, and discusses the core elements of using a
cloud management platform.
M
ulticlouds are in vogue: more
and more companies use
cloud platforms and services
in parallel. The main challenge in doing
so lies in administrative complexity. The
only practical way of coping with this is by
using a cloud management platform that
supports the integrative administration of
heterogeneous private, public, hybrid and
multicloud solutions.
Cloud development is progressing
dynamically. At present, companies
frequently use hybrid clouds. That means

that they operate their IT infrastructure
partly in a private cloud and partly in a public
cloud. The simultaneous use of internal
infrastructure is therefore often required
for this reason alone as many applications
are not even worth considering for use with
the public cloud for reasons relating to
security, compliance and data protection. A
hybrid cloud model is the perfect first step
for many companies in optimally tapping
the potential of private and public clouds.
A hybrid cloud model which comprises on-
premises and off-premises resources offers
the best of both worlds – the cost-efficiency
