How the right cloud technology can simplify complexity

A new campaign from leading technology provider, Softcat, demonstrates how to create simplicity from complexity with a multi-cloud strategy – an approach that utilises cloud technology from more than one public cloud vendor. 

The campaign includes insight from several key figures within Softcat, which help to explain the multi-cloud strategy in greater depth. Presented as short interview-style pieces, the videos explore how multi-cloud can help you deliver the outcomes your organisation needs. 

Andrew Cochrane, Datacentre Chief Technologist at Softcat, discusses the technical considerations of multi-cloud, which are focused around connectivity, management and data. He also explains how to overcome them: “We need to reset our expectations of cloud. Cloud isn’t just about moving workload. It’s about how we deploy in a consistent fashion. We also need to focus on the relationship that IT has with the business.”

Next, Dean Gardner, Chief Technologist at Softcat, talks about the importance of multi-cloud and the biggest challenges that customers face. Gardner explains how these include: “Number one, legacy platforms, the technical debt that exists.” He continues: “Secondly, how you transform that and deliver against the requirements for change… Third, the security, the governance, the operational aspect of a new way of working.”

Finally, we hear from Tim Jeans, Solutions Sales Director at Softcat, who highlights how multi-cloud impacts organisations and why Softcat is the right partner to help you overcome the pain points of implementation. “You can trust us to give you the right independent advice… We take the time to understand your success criteria and the outcomes that you need to deliver.”

In summary, you can expect to gain insight into the following key areas:

• Technical considerations of multi-cloud – whether you have a hybrid infrastructure or a hybrid datacentre, and it’s vital to adopt a multi-cloud mindset

• Why multi-cloud is important – and learning about the biggest customer challenges today

• How multi-cloud impacts organisations – and how Softcat can help you implement the right cloud technology
