The Multi-Cloud Expedition Episode 11: Optimizing Multi-Cloud Workload Placement

Enterprises today have a full spectrum of choices for their application infrastructure, whether that’s hyperscale cloud provider services, on-premises private clouds or hybrid cloud services like VMware Cloud. What most are missing is the optimization of where they run workloads, so that each exists in the best-fit cloud. In an optimized state, enterprises can achieve cost-efficiency, retain visibility over their assets, and serve the needs of the business for agility and modernization.

This episode walks through common scenarios for workload placement and the top considerations for each environment: public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Key considerations include:
– Business demands for agility and modernization
– Cost of compute, network and storage
