Today, most enterprises have moved beyond a “one cloud fits all” approach and are using more than one cloud to meet business needs, such as disaster recovery, data backup, application resiliency, and global coverage. In fact, according to the Flexera 2020 State of the Cloud Report, “93 percent of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy” while “87 percent have a hybrid cloud strategy.” On average, enterprises use 2.2 public and 2.2 private clouds, and cloud adoption is continuing to accelerate.
