An influx of 750 million new applications by 2025 is putting extreme pressure on IT organizations. Many are struggling to manage multiple clouds and on-premises environments. Here are five best practices to help you succeed.
Get to the cloud faster
Cloud adoption and unification is slowed by lengthy app refactoring, resulting in unused cloud credits and missed datacenter evacuation deadlines.
Best Practice 1: Build a foundation for cloud success
Look for solutions that let you run your current application portfolio anywhere with minimal changes. Deliver better support for VMs and containers by virtualizing Kubernetes and choosing partners that understand both environments.
65%
of organizations have container apps in production.**
Best Practice 2: Take control of your data
Providing the same data services across environments enables teams to avoid operational challenges and unexpected performance gaps while simplifying data protection and facilitating app and data mobility.
47%
say data visibility is a key cloud challenge.*
Increase cloud efficiency
Low resource utilization, unforeseen expenses and spiraling cloud bills are today’s reality.
Best Practice 3: Adopt FinOps
FinOps is essential to gain control over costs by providing visibility across environments, identifying unused or underutilized resources, and optimizing reserved-instance use.
FinOps
is an evolving cloud financial managment discipline that delivers greater business value.
Simplify operations
Siloed cloud operations require disparate skills and tools, complicating management, wasting time and reducing security.
Best Practice 4: Automate your operations
Look for tools that can automate Day 1 and Day 2 operations across all the environments where you operate.
4 out of 5
IT leaders think workflow automation is crucial.*
Best Practice 5: Embrace AIOps
AIOps identifies correlations and anomalies in mountains of log data so that minor problems never become full-scale disasters. Look for AIOps solutions that include predictive analytics, anomaly detection and deep insights into your operations with the ability to automate corrective actions.
AIOps
combines telemetry data and machine learning to enhance IT ops.
