"The race to digital transformation is driving the need for global organizations to dramatically speed application delivery, while simultaneously fueling innovation and becoming more agile in the process," said Ajay Patel, senior vice president, product development, Cloud Services, VMware. "With digital business changing how industries operate, organizations are increasingly looking to multiple clouds to support the drive to become more secure, innovative, efficient and agile. This study highlights what it takes for a successful multi-cloud approach that not only allows companies to realize the true benefits of the cloud but helps them capitalize on emerging technologies to run a competitive, successful business. With time, organizations are on a path to reap the full, long term benefits of multi-cloud environments."
