(LSJ) Seven critical capabilities for success of Cloud management Platform (CMP)

/

According Gartner, Cloud management platform (CMP) solutions are advisable to support the management of multi cloud deployments and avoid under management.

By 2021, 75% of organizations without Cloud Management tooling to manage their multicloud environments will spend more than they would have had they stayed on-premises, and will also lack needed policy and governance capabilities, increasing the likelihood of security and/or compliance exposures.

Gartner has identified seven capabilities critical to the success of the use cases commonly involved in this endeavor (see Note 1):

  • Provisioning and orchestration

  • Inventory and classification

  • Service requests

  • Monitoring and analytics

  • Manage costs and optimize resources

  • Cloud migration, disaster recovery (DR) and backup

  • Identity, security and compliance

The common use cases are:

  • Agile applications

  • Reliable applications

  • Lift-and-shift data center

  • Strategic DevOps transformation
