Overview

October 13

As the demands on state and local governments continue to grow in number and complexity, agencies are adopting cloud technology to lower costs, bolster their cybersecurity posture and improve service delivery. And cloud service providers have leveraged their experience to develop scalable tools that can solve a wide range of system challenges.

The question is no longer which cloud to use but which combination of cloud services can best help organizations achieve their missions.

Each cloud service was initially designed to solve a different problem, so they have matured with different strengths and capabilities. Multicloud is much more than using services in each cloud independently. Multicloud is about connecting the best services and capabilities of each cloud.

Join us for a webinar on October 13 to learn why a multicloud solution makes sense for government. During this webcast, we’ll discuss:

The value of using more than one cloud service provider.
Migration planning for complex workloads to mitigate risk and cost.
Multicloud adoption to ensure best services for optimal outcomes.
