Freddie Mac and Concourse Labs Discuss the Cloud Governance Imperative Cloud computing has become the infrastructure facilitating a new remote workforce, creating immersive customer experiences, accelerating innovation, and providing a more resilient foundation on which businesses run. It is the heart of digital transformation! While software-as-a-service (SaaS) remains the largest cloud segment, according to Gartner, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) are growing much faster. This is largely driven by the need for organizations to streamline innovation to stay ahead of the competition, build greater efficiencies…
Multi-cloud adoption is witnessing steady growth as organizations vie for digital transformation.

Multi-cloud architectures leverage the capabilities of both public and private clouds. They offer benefits, including expanded access to best-of-breed services, performance optimization, reduced costs, high availability and low latency. However, multi-cloud also comes with challenges. Applications delivered via diverse environments with diverse capabilities often suffer from performance inconsistencies, creating management headaches and jeopardizing the user experience. In addition, companies struggle to…
