Today enterprises are becoming more sophisticated in the way potential cloud suppliers are evaluated. While keeping a closer look at their governance and data security policies, enterprises also sought for independent verification of the provider’s capabilities. The increasing use of multiple cloud providers has consequently resulted in the rise of new cloud management services that include service integration, management and monitoring for all cloud services contracted by an organization.

The percentage of enterprises that have a strategy to use multiple clouds hold steady at 82 percent with 55 percent planning on hybrid. The adoption of hybrid approach has enabled businesses to take advantage of the scalability offered by cloud computing, without exposing critical data to third-party vulnerabilities.

New entrances in the market are partnering with industry heavyweights building unique components to help power major enterprise offerings.
