The problem with the current state of cloud

Too many clouds, too many tools,
too much cognitive load,
too few people,
and too much time to ramp

79% of organizations say they are hitting a wall with existing tools.
88% want an overarching solution.
What about you?
 

Managing your cloud strategy used to be more straight-forward. But as cloud scaled across your enterprise, things became much more complicated. Many companies have numerous teams with multiple functions utilizing a patchwork of tools across a variety of cloud providers (plus on-prem) with no way of interconnecting it all.

You can't

what's unknown

IaCs, configuration tools, platforms, custom code, cost management, containers, automation solutions, etc. These were never designed to work together, let alone provide unified visibility and governance. Without it, you’re stuck with islands of automation, rogue IT, blind spots, inefficiencies, and exposure.

The market has spoken about the state of the cloud and the results are staggering –

79%
Believe their cloud efforts are hitting a wall
78%
Believe they have too many tools
88%
Believe what’s needed is an overarching solution

Does any of this sound familiar?


The bottom line: the tools and platforms that got companies where they are today are not helping companies fully achieve their cloud vision without the adoption of a “Manager of Managers”

The Framework

A Closer Look

Gartner originally established a set of essential cloud management capabilities (in white below) against which companies could evaluate Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs). CloudBolt goes further with a Framework that incorporates those essentials and builds in additional core functionalities designed to address the evolving realities of a future driven by multi-cloud/multi-tool requirements.

Explore the Framework and expand each layer to learn more about each capability. And keep in mind your existing tools can still be used for capabilities you already have covered, or use CloudBolt’s. Thanks to our flexibility, you can extend existing investments. Configuring the Framework can be as unique as your enterprise.
