TekTalk: New Game Changer – Multi-Cloud Management Platforms
New Game Changer – Multi-Cloud Management Platforms
We know you/your customers are using the cloud. The question is…how many clouds are you using?
According to a February 2017 article from Forbes, the average enterprise is using six different cloud services and SMB’s are no different. The reason? Some clouds are better for one use case than others. Amazon is widely regarded as the leader for developers, while Microsoft Azure may be preferred for native Microsoft applications. Even cloud file-sharing services like Dropbox are still commonplace for increased productivity.
So, if you don’t know how many clouds your customers are using, the answer most likely is…quite a few.
Managing multiple clouds is time consuming. If you/your customers are actively looking for a better way to work, check out multi-cloud management platforms.
The complexity and wasted productivity that comes from managing six cloud platforms – individually – is mind blowing. With TekEfficient, you can help streamline cloud management for your customers using a new CenturyLink service called Cloud Application Manager. Essentially it’s a cloud-neutral portal that will allow your customers to fully manage multiple cloud platforms via a single online interface.
