Hello, everyone. It's an honor to be in Con 42, and I'm here to discuss a topic that is shaping the future of technology, multi cloud and hybrid cloud architectures in data management. in this presentation, we will explore the benefits, market growth, challenges, and best practices, and understand why they matter in today's digital age. according to Gartner, by 2025, 95 percent of the digital workloads will be cloud native. So IDC predicts the global data sphere will reach a staggering 175 zettabytes by then. So these figures emphasize the growing importance of scalable cloud solutions to handle the immense data demands. So we'll see what are the multi cloud and hybrid cloud architectures. So multi cloud refers to using two or more cloud providers, public or private, to distribute workloads. it helps to avoid the vendor lock in and enhances the redundancy. on the other hand, whereas, hybrid cloud integrates private or public clouds with on prem infrastructures, offering the flexibility in data storage and processing, these strategies, which are vital for optimizing the performance, reliability, and compliance key for pillars for modern businesses. So we'll see the benefits of multi cloud architectures. So multi cloud strategies bring four key advantages. So one, one is the redundancy. So the redundancy is nothing but distributing of workloads across providers, ensures a business continuity. even if one provider faces the downtime, let's say in effect, 63 percent of the organization reports Oh! Improved business continuity. And the second one would be the vendor flexibility. So this approach allows choosing the best services based on the work needs. For example, AWS for scalability, Google cloud for AI and Azure for the enterprise applications. the third advantage is the cost optimization. Competition between the providers can lead to a significant savings. 45 percent of businesses, leveraging multi cloud report cost reductions. the fourth one will be, performance enhancements. workload distribution across, providers, which ensures the optimal performance. So coming to the growth of multicloud market, the multicloud market is booming. So valued, I would say probably 15 plus billion dollars in 2020, it's projected to reach 44 billion, maybe by 2027 growing at a robust at 18%. So this growth is. Driven by increasing I. T. Complexity and the demand of resilient infrastructure, providing the relevance of multi cloud strategies and across the industries. So the hybrid cloud architecture overview, the hybrid cloud combines on prem data centers, private clouds and public clouds into one system. So it serves as a bridge for a base businesses, transitioning legacy systems to cloud environments while keeping critical data on prem or a private like with the 87 percent of it leaders favoring this model. It's no wonder hybrid cloud adoption is expected to grow by 39 percent in the next few years. we'll see the advantages of the hybrid cloud for data management. I would say three standout benefits of hybrid cloud includes, the first one will be the data sovereignty. Sensitive data can remain on prem or the private clouds to meet the compliance needs like GDPR or any HIPAA while non sensitive data leverages public cloud resources. So coming to the second advantage, I would say scalability with on demand public cloud resources. Scaling operation becomes like four and a half times faster compared to the traditional setups. The third point would be the legacy system integration. It allows businesses to modernize gradually integrating legacy systems with cloud environments. next one will be the growth of the hybrid cloud market. the hybrid cloud market is expanding significantly. I would say expected to grow from, 73 billion dollars in 2020 to 171 billion dollars by 2025. cost efficiency, scalability, and compliance. Needs are major drivers of this growth. Additionally, SMBs are adopting hybrid cloud solution to access advanced technologies without any upfront cost. we'll see the next one, next slide is coming to the multicloud and hybrid cloud. So despite of all these benefits, there are a couple of challenges I would like to present. So first one is a data integration differences in architecture, making integrating data complex. The second one would be the security risk in the sense like when, with the data spreads across the environments, ensuring robust security is critical. The third challenges would be the skill gaps. So finding skilled professionals. remains a hurdle for many organizations. So we'll see another, a couple more challenges in a cloud strategies. So compliance and the cost management, add to the list. For example, like 53 percent of the organizations struggle with evolving compliance policies across multiple environments without proper governance. Cloud costs can spiral out of control. So interestingly, the global data privacy market is projected to reach 83 billion by 2027, reflecting RISE compliance needs. So I would like to present a best practice of implementation to overcome these challenges. Business should adopt best practices such as like implementing Strong data governance policies to ensure data integrity and security. using, data integration tools like ETL and virtualization to streamline these operations, and adopting cloud agnostic technologies to avoid vendor lock in. practicing continuous monitoring to optimize cloud performance, cost, or any such kind of potential savings of which, which are up to 30%. to sum up the multi cloud and hybrid cloud architectures, Provide businesses with the unmatched flexibility, scalability, and security. while challenges like integration security and compliance exist, the advantages would be, which will outweigh the hurdles. by leveraging the governance, cloud, agnostic tools, and continuous optimizations, organizations can fully realize the potential of these architectures. As we move on, into a data driven era. those who master these strategies will undoubtedly lead in innovation and growth. thank you for your time and attention. Let's embrace the opportunities, from multi cloud and hybrid cloud architectures, and bring and unlock any new possibilities for the data management. Thank you.
