Integrated Multi-Cloud Management Solutions for Government

Multi-cloud: The challenge, the solution, the possibilities

Managing multi-cloud environments

Government and program leaders are often embarking on the cloud journeys with partial or siloed cloud architectures, security frameworks, and operating models while training and adoption support have not scaled to keep up with demands. As a result, agencies have realized that their users and applications are now spread across several clouds without the means to coordinate consistently for the transparency, security, or management of these environments.

• Approach
  Start with discovery of cloud, landing zones, and standards and evolve towards a single management plane that concurrently spans multiple clouds.

• Blind spots
  Easy access to critical metrics that evaluate the agency’s IT does not exist. “Shadow IT” has created blind spots which prevent agencies from making well informed business decisions.

• Security fog
  Outdated security policies do not align to the current cybersecurity environment or account for infrastructure abstracted through software and virtualization.

• Management chaos
  Agencies have migrated applications to multiple clouds – public and private. These applications and VM instances belong to different business groups, which often do not follow consistent processes or governance.
