Automate, Consolidate and Simplify Your Workloads
According to Cisco’s 2022 Global Hybrid Cloud Trends Report, 33 percent of respondents said that increased operational complexity is a “prominent challenge” to deploying a hybrid cloud environment. And according to experts at the SummIT, most organizations struggle to manage the growing number of applications that live across cloud platforms.
To address this obstacle, IT leaders must automate, consolidate and simplify. Vance Baran, senior director of global sales – data center networking and software at Cisco, recommended “radical simplification” of your modern workload applications so that all applications live under one unified platform. This makes it easier to automate basic processes, pull data performance analytics and gain greater transparency into your infrastructure operations overall.
