I confess to preferring simplicity, especially when it comes to computing infrastructure. It’s easier for start-ups and smaller companies to run their businesses with a mix of software-as-a-service (SaaS) with applications and data hosted on one public cloud.
Many organisations run on hybrid clouds with applications and data split between private clouds, legacy data centre infrastructure, and a selected public cloud.
But many medium and larger enterprises choose to run on multiple public clouds or end up in that situation to support innovation, regulations, service levels, pricing negotiations, or acquisitions. There are choices and trade-offs to cloud strategies.

Hyperconverged infrastructure simplifies scaling private clouds
Data centers used to be filled with network equipment, servers, and storage from different manufacturers and management tools. Supporting this infrastructure required specialists, and scaling up and down computing capabilities wasn’t easy.
Today, many companies deploy hyperconverged infrastructure that combines network, compute, and storage in a building block appliance. In addition, management tools enable administrators to virtualize computing clusters and assign resources based on an application’s computing needs.
Tiwan Nicholson, director of IT service operations at UNOS, uses Nutanix and explains the benefits. “We’re seeing 30% improvement on laborious workloads compared with the previous infrastructure, where some of our big data and deep analytics jobs took days. Now, our generalist infrastructure engineers can manage the hardware layer and virtualization layer without the specialized skills needed for
