A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Xtravirt and VMware published in March 2021, found that whilst technology leaders accept multicloud as their default operating system, this strategy is not painless.
The study found that cloud challenges exist beyond initial adoption; in fact, they intensify during ongoing cloud management. Firms admitted to struggling to achieve a steady state of operational management of multicloud when they self-manage and said investing in MSP partnerships would enable their organisations to optimise their cloud strategies.
