The survey reveals that multi-cloud deployments are being driven primarily by a need to maximize availability and reliability for applications, while at the edge IoT is the top use case driving deployments.

Multi-cloud deployments are threatened by security and connectivity problems due to differences between cloud providers, as well as operational challenges in managing workloads across several clouds.

Edge deployments suffer from an inability to meet unique infrastructure needs as well as difficulties in managing apps across different edge sites.

"The increasing deployment of technologies including AI, machine learning and IoT are causing apps and data to be increasingly spread across multiple clouds and edge sites. This is leading to a number of serious operational and security challenges for organizations trying to support multi-cloud and edge deployments," said Ankur Singla, CEO, Volterra.

"Organizations need a way to manage all these components as a single, distributed cloud to effectively leverage multi-cloud and edge deployments and the data within them," said Singla.
