Environmental Challenges
- Challenges with application and data portability across locations (including data center, public cloud, and edge).
- Cost/time associated with refactoring/re-platforming applications adds significant cost, complexity, and risk to cloud migrations.
- Struggle to properly size workloads for the optimal infrastructure (on- or off-premises) environment.
- Application deployment planning is hindered by a lack of visibility into specifics on spending for public cloud services.
- Inter-cloud application integration failures causing service-impacting issues.
- Difficulty correlating data from multiple sources in a timely fashion when monitoring, measuring, and ensuring SLAs for apps that rely on inter-cloud integrations.
- Inadequate observability across clouds.
- Fragmented tools that are not easy to integrate.
- Difficulty hiring sufficiently trained data personnel.
- Slow or non-delivery of alerts (i.e., problems go undetected).
- Insufficient support for training data personnel.
- Performance data generated by applications is hard to analyze.
- Inability to pinpoint root cause of problems when they are detected.
- Increasingly complex integrations.
- Difficulty forecasting inter-cloud storage budget.
