Superclouds: A new solution for managing multi-cloud complexity

As multi-cloud has become the de facto architecture for many companies, complexity has emerged as one of the biggest hurdles to cloud value. Enter the supercloud, which is an architectural pattern that creates an abstraction automation layer, logically, on top of the multi-cloud environment. Superclouds provide a single control panel that spans an organization’s cloud ecosystem. They can’t hide poor architecture, but they can help manage multi-cloud complexity and provide more cloud value.

By optimizing your cloud architecture by pushing as much redundancy as you can up into a single layer, we're able to solve a problem one time that's able to solve across different cloud providers.

As the chief cloud strategy officer for Deloitte Consulting LLP, David Linthicum is responsible for building innovative technologies that help clients operate more efficiently while delivering strategies that enable them to disrupt their markets.
