Multi-Cloud
A-to-Zerto Glossary of Terms
What Is Multi-Cloud ?
Organizations deploying a multi-cloud approach rely on more than one public cloud service provider for computer or storage resources. The resulting environment can be spread across any combination of private and public clouds, as well as different vendors providing infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

How Multi-Cloud Works
Multi-cloud environments allow organizations to take advantage of the resources and benefits of several unique service providers. It also removes dependence on any one provider. These two key aspects of the approach offer freedom of flexibility in building, running, storing, and securing, and protecting data.
Aside from eliminating the need for physical space in an on-premises datacenter, opting for multiple cloud services can help improve an enterprise’s scalability, allow for the use of provider-specific services for things like containers, and reduce the overall cost of operations. But with so many services and infrastructure components, a successful multi cloud strategy comes with challenges in maintaining continuous backup and providing for disaster recovery.
