Organizations that choose to take advantage of public cloud services often find themselves with their resources spread amongst multiple vendors. This situation can arise for several reasons including:

One of the greatest benefits of cloud computing is how it has leveled the playing field regarding the use of cutting-edge technology. High-powered applications and computing methodologies that were at one time out of the reach of the average company or user can be accessed economically using the resources of public cloud providers. Quantum computing is joining other technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as a cloud offering that anyone can use.

Many businesses and individuals are familiar with the concept of cloud backups. All major providers as well as consumer manufacturers like Apple offer easy methods with which to back up data to cloud storage. Using the provider’s resources eliminates the need for clients to purchase hardware and keeps backups offsite where they are safely separated from the original data.
