As cloud matures, companies are focusing on getting more value from their cloud investments. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Constellation Research’s Dion Hinchcliffe about current cloud issues and how organizations can increase their cloud value. According to Dion, success lies in embracing multi-cloud, reining in cloud costs, and using cross-cloud management strategies like superclouds to manage multi-cloud complexity. Commercial clouds will play a big role as well.
