Dale’s analysis will help you to develop your own coherent multi-cloud strategy. There are a number of dimensions to this, but one of the most important is coming up with the right mix of suppliers. This, in turn, requires developing a clear view of how requirements differ, along with a set of criteria for assessing existing as well as new suppliers.
