Technical Insight: Multi-Cloud Data Management Fundamentals

Evaluator Group recently launched research covering Multi-Cloud Data Management products. The multi-cloud data management space spans six core Functional Areas: visibility, storage optimization, data protection, data availability, compliance and security, and archive. Addressing these functional areas is a challenge for enterprise IT professionals as their organizations adopt multi-cloud approaches, due primarily to the inherently complex and siloed nature of multi-cloud environments. Multi-cloud data management products – some new and many, such as backup software, already existing in enterprise IT environments – are useful in addressing required capabilities such as centralized search and dashboarding, business continuity, and data governance, protection, and optimization. Rather than turning to a single product, enterprises are typically using multiple products from multiple vendors to meet their needs. This document distills Evaluator Group’s vendor coverage alongside insights gained from engagement with IT professionals and our Trends in Multi-Cloud Data Management study, into a series of common use cases and key items for IT professionals to consider.

Why Multi-Cloud Data Management?

Cross-Cloud Mobility

Most enterprises have hit a stage in adoption of cloud resources in which they are working with more than one cloud provider. Data needs to be mobile across these environments for a number of reasons (we explore business continuity, cost-optimized long-term retention, and compliance in more detail in this asset). However, vendors’ incompatible environments and expensive egress fees make cross-cloud data mobility a pipe dream for enterprise IT without the proper toolset. In fact, in Evaluator Groupstudy, cloud migration software was most often noted as a tool lacking from multi-cloud implementations today, being selected by nearly 60% of respondents. Evaluator Group expects this area to remain top-of-mind for enterprise IT and for vendor innovation alike over the next 12-18 months…

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
