This Intel white paper explains how enterprises and governments can optimize multi-cloud environments to drive digital transformation while reducing cost and risk. It outlines seven key considerations: minimizing total cost of ownership, delivering services with agility, ensuring interoperability across clouds, rationalizing workload placement, managing data gravity, optimizing container and VM migration, and strengthening security. Intel emphasizes abstraction of applications from infrastructure, governance over workload placement, and a right-cloud approach rather than cloud-first. The paper highlights Intel technologies—Xeon processors, Optane memory, and hardware-level security—as enablers of performance, portability, and resilience across hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
