Gartner Insights Abstract

多云战略复杂且成本高昂,但灵活性较高

Published: 30 May 2024

Summary

多云战略在带来更大灵活性和更多技术选择的同时,也会大幅增加复杂性和成本。高管应借鉴本文对几种多云战略方法的对比,做出最合理的选择。

Included in Full Research

概述

主要发现
  • 针对云基础设施和平台服务(CIPS)的多云战略,例如,采用多家同时提供基础设施即服务(IaaS)和平台即服务(PaaS)的超大规模云提供商,为技术创新提供了最佳机会。

  • 多云战略增加了IT的复杂性和成本,并且对用户技能提出了更高要求。虽然大多数企业机构最终都会采用多云战略,但很多企业机构并未进行周密规划便引入多家云提供商,从而造成了不必要的混乱。

  • 多云战略还会增加云服务的直接成本。由于委托给每家提供商的业务量有所减少,多云战略实际上会降低折扣率。竞争并没有显著提高商定的长期折扣率,这与多数高管的预期相悖。

建议

负责制定综合云战略的高管,应:

  • 选定一家主要云战略性提供商来承担大部分IaaS工作负载并提供PaaS服务,以降低集成和运营的复杂性和成本。

  • 如果企业机构具有两种截然不同的需求,比如同时需要新增云原生数字业务应用和进行传统应用迁移,则选择一家二级云战略性提供商,在控制整体复杂性的同时,使技术采用更符合需求。

  • 明确单云或多云战略的目标,仅在业务需求无法以其他方式满足时增加云服务提供商。根据自身对每家提供商的支持水平,对提供商进行分级。实施明确的工作负载配置策略。
