Managing data across multiple cloud providers is no easy feat. While multi-cloud offers flexibility and avoids vendor lock-in, it also brings security risks, compliance headaches, and data portability issues. But with the right strategy, you can turn these challenges into advantages.
Biggest Hurdles & How to Overcome Them
๐ Data Portability Issues โ Moving data between cloud providers isnโt always smooth. Proprietary APIs create silos. Solution: Platforms like Microsoft Azure Arc enable unified data management across environments.
๐ Security Gaps โ More clouds mean a bigger attack surface. Solution: Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides cross-cloud security monitoring, helping prevent breaches before they happen.
๐พ Disaster Recovery Risks โ Relying on a single cloud can be risky. Solution: VMware Site Recovery Manager enables automated disaster recovery across AWS and Azure.
๐ Compliance Challenges โ Different regions, different regulations. Solution: Microsoft Blob Storage ensures proper data retention policies to stay compliant.
