What is a multicloud?
A multicloud is a solution that combines cloud services from different providers (regardless of whether they are public or private) that may or may not be integrated with each other. It must be distinguished from the “hybrid cloud” concept that is limited to combining private and public environments. In the case of multicloud, it goes a step further and allows companies to have more flexibility.
How many companies are multicloud?
According to a Gartner study, 81% of companies already work with two or more clouds (whether public, private or hybrid). However, it is expected that in 2024 the 90% of large companies will already make use of multicloud technologies. These data make the trend towards these technologies more than evident, and shows that in a few years few will be the companies that have a single service in the cloud. This, together with the multiple advantages it offers, makes more and more companies show interest in them.
It is for these reasons that from uCloudStore we are helping all companies that want to go multicloud to do so, with our advice and methodology for companies. If you want us to help you, enter here and contact us.

What advantages does multicloud have?
1. Possibility of benefiting from the advantages of each service
One of the great advantages of using different cloud services is the possibility of benefiting from each of its advantages. For example, in the case of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) , you can add unique services like Kubernetes or Firebase to your company. Thus, it is possible to cover all the needs that a company may have.
2. Cost reduction
Another of the advantages of multicloud is that the company's costs are significantly reduced by not needing its own infrastructure . In this way, the company has its data in the cloud from various providers. In addition, some of the providers such as Google offer the possibility of contracting microservices . This allows companies to pay only for the service they want and use , which generates great savings in resources that companies often do not use if they contract the entire service.
3. More security
One of the things that is sometimes discussed when using cloud services is whether it is really more secure than physical servers. In this case, multicloud allows security to be maximized since it does not depend on a single service and provider . In this way, companies can benefit from the high security standards of the different services.
4. More scalable
Related to cost reduction, the possibility of contracting only the services that a company needs based on the workload, allows it to be much more scalable and cloud services to adapt to the 100% company.
5. Workload diversification
Finally, another of the great advantages that multicloud offers is the possibility of diversifying the workload , so that a single team is prevented from assuming a large amount of work . In addition, by diversifying the work but working from a single environment , time is reduced and productivity increases .
