San Francisco, California: Customers are buying a lot of clouds: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud are just a few of the many options already on the market; but what is no longer an option is marrying a single cloud. Now, the reality is the multicloud.
This week, at VMware Explore 2022, the company dedicated to software virtualization presented its novelties and Ragu Raghuram, CEO of the company, is now betting on the use of multiple clouds.
What is multicloud?
The use of different clouds is something common among companies; even, according to André Andriolli, CTO of LATAM at VMware, companies have an average of two to three clouds.
This has a logical reason: today’s digitized world does not allow marrying just one. The multicloud architecture allows organizations to distribute their workloads to different clouds, depending on their needs.
This happens because each one offers different things; not only from the physical infrastructure, but also in a diversity of characteristics such as functionality, price, models, policies, customer service, among others.
But having multiple clouds also represents challenges such as cost control, the performance of what each one can do or managing security, since Andriolli stressed that one of the main problems is the security gaps that may exist, especially when Migrate information from one cloud to another.

Managing applications and infrastructure across multiple clouds is complex, especially in public cloud and multi-technology environments. For this, VMware introduced a portfolio of multi-cloud management products, called .
This new product seeks to offer comprehensive solutions for cost management, performance, configuration and delivery of infrastructure and cloud-native applications.
“With the reality of multi-cloud taking hold, managing overall cloud spend, resource utilization and application performance, security and compliance across multiple clouds can be extremely difficult. and as a result, can lead to waste, inefficiency, and increased risk,” said Purnima Padmanabhan, senior vice president and general manager, Cloud Management, VMware.
