The Products
Companies invest in their IT architecture and applications with the best intentions, but decentralized models result in inefficiency and overspend, often in the $$$ millions. As the pace of deployment and migration to the cloud continues to accelerate, it creates unique challenges of maintaining visibility and control at scale across multiple cloud instances and the additional array of services in the environment. Further, hybrid cloud configurations and a high velocity of workload migration and change is leading to greater complexity in the IT environment.
