Modernizing your architecture? Think hybrid and multi-cloud

Leverage hybrid and multi-clouds to increase cloud value and success

As the panoply of cloud vendors and products grows ever larger, so does the configuration and management complexity of the cloud. For many companies, this complexity can reduce the value of their cloud-computing investments. In this episode of the podcast, David Linthicum and guests, Intel’s Lisa Davis and Deloitte’s Doug Bourgeois, discuss how companies can tackle cloud complexity and leverage multi-cloud architectures to optimize cloud deployments in terms of performance, cost, and agility. Lisa and Doug also argue that companies need to realize that hardware isn’t a commodity and that cloud architectures—and talent acquisition decisions—must be driven by mission-critical business needs and workloads.

We have to stop thinking about the hardware and the underlying platforms as commodity, because it’s just not the case, particularly with the diversity and the evolution of the workloads.

Lisa Davis is vice president and general manager for IT Modernization in Intel Corporation’s, Enterprise and Government Data Center Group where she is responsible for growing Intel’s data center business.

Doug Bourgeois is a managing director in the Federal Technology Strategy & Architecture practice, focusing on cloud computing and shared services. Before coming to Deloitte, he previously led multiple cloud and secure mobility projects at VMware.
