Overcoming the Challenges of a Multi-cloud Architecture to Accelerate Top Line Business Objectives

Date

Thu, May 11, 2023

Time

5:00 PM - 9:00 PM EST

Whether you jumped in with both feet to be cloud-first, or you found yourself in the cloud because of a merger or acquisition, you’re now a multi-cloud enterprise! You’re not alone; 87% of enterprises use two or more clouds today*.  This means building, operating, and securing applications not just on-prem, but also in hybrid clouds, and multiple hyperscalers, each with their own tools, permissions, and processes multiplying complexity.  How do you pick the right cloud to deliver your business outcome?

Join Alexander Romero, Sr. Director of VMware Cross-Cloud Services and host of VMware’s Multi-Cloud Expedition LinkedIn Live Series, for a guided conversation through a framework in which to approach the challenges of a multi-cloud architecture, industry best practices for solving them, and insights from peer discussions.
