Historically, many enterprises have avoided multicloud deployments, citing complexity in managing multiple platforms, compliance challenges, and security concerns. However, as the need for specialized solutions grows, businesses are realizing that a single vendor can't meet their workload demands.

Given that corporate IT relies heavily on cloud-based infrastructure and services delivered via the public cloud, access to the data held in the cloud is paramount. Should all mission-critical data be held on-premise? What roles should digital sovereignty and digital residency play in a corporate IT strategy?
