Intel IT adopted a “right workload, right place” multicloud strategy nearly 10 years ago. This strategy has accelerated application development and deployment agility, achieved cost-responsible scalability, and enabled our business partners across Intel to achieve their business goals.

A decade of validation has underscored that emphasizing business value in cloud hosting decisions is advantageous. However, we continue to adapt our multicloud strategy as both business needs and the IT ecosystem evolve.

Some of those adaptations include the following:
• Developing a unified hosting portal for our cloud management platform.
• Embracing open-source offerings for our database as a service (DBaaS) solutions.
• Honing our application hosting decisions so our use of software as a service (SaaS), public cloud, and private cloud is optimized.
• Rapidly scaling our containers as a service (CaaS) environment.
• Supporting the growth of AI and automation.

But the cloud journey is never finished. New trends in the enterprise—such as the increasing use of AI, as well as innovations in the IT landscape—mean that we must continue to evaluate and evolve our multicloud strategy to consistently support the business in the most cost-efficient manner possible.
