As enterprises have moved to the cloud over the past decade, they typically end up using multiple clouds, both public and private. Public clouds offer an incredible breadth of features and services and elastic capacity that allows for rapid application development. Public clouds also offer cost savings, as enterprises must pay only for the resources they consume and public clouds can scale easily to ensure high availability.
On the other hand, private clouds excel in situations where low latency is critical, or where data sovereignty regulations necessitate specific location requirements. Private clouds can also offer cost savings on operations where capacity consumption is predictable, and many organizations prefer that certain workloads be kept on-premises because of policy, security or compliance requirements.
As the capabilities of public and private clouds continue to evolve, application and data portability enable enterprises to continually choose the best cloud resource for a given workload. But to ensure seamless portability and the cohesive use of resources, organizations need a cloud platform that can deliver consistency across all environments, providing a common set of tools for managing policies, security, compliance and optimization. That’s where Dell Technologies Cloud provides enormous value.
