Multi-cloud storage combines the storage services of multiple cloud vendors into a unified architecture. As a result, organizations can experience increased flexibility, security, data durability, and compliance, as well as lower costs.
With multi-cloud storage, users can leverage a variety of cloud storage services to secure their data. To manage data that is distributed across multiple clouds, organizations can choose a private, public, or hybrid approach. Managed Service Providers (MSPs), native public cloud services, and third-party cloud solutions represent the primary options for multi-cloud environments.
Multi-cloud storage service providers fall into the following categories:
Multi-cloud storage is part of a broader multi-cloud architecture where services from diverse providers are consolidated into an organization¡¯s infrastructure.
Switching to a multi-cloud storage architecture can provide numerous benefits. Some of the most common include:
Enhanced Flexibility
Cost Efficiency
Additional Security
Data Durability
Increased Compliance
Multi-cloud controllers manage multi-cloud storage by combining all of an organization¡¯s resources under a common API. This process creates a centralized management point, allowing you to monitor and manage services from a unified console.
Multi-cloud controllers typically use a variety of security, cluster, and storage manager agents. They allow for reduced expenses, ensuring optimization and availability. Through centralized logging and monitoring, users can know their data¡¯s location, so they can maintain control and eliminate risk.
Requirement 1
For the smooth operation of multi-cloud storage services, the environment must offer high functionality, mobility, and visibility. This includes storage services requiring compatibility across multiple clouds, with the ability to accommodate data structures and allow for integration.
Requirement 2
Multi Cloud storage will require using different APIs. Although there is some standardization, each provider may have different rule structures. Users will need to manage these different applications for cross-service communication.
Requirement 3
Utilization of services with enterprise-grade functionality. Adopt storage services with high durability and failure rates of less than 0.2%. Furthermore, review your service¡¯s storage level agreement for what events they cover and exclude. Service should be low-latency and have the ability to support tens of thousands of input/output operations per second (IOPS).
Requirement 4
Centralized monitoring of services and federation is required to ensure visibility, including identity and access controls. Without centralization, users will experience more vulnerability and configuration errors.
Requirement 5
Reformatting, re-architecting, and refactoring applications may be necessary before moving data between service providers. Ideally, services should also allow for seamless data transfer and support containerization to further increase mobility.
Requirement 6
Finally, services should be able to integrate with a centralized monitoring dashboard for high visibility. Many of the benefits for multi-cloud storage require visibility, as it is key for smooth and secure operations. Tracking access and movement, logging service and data events, and ensuring optimization and performance are all critical functions of an optimized multi-cloud storage environment.
