Welcome to the latest episode of this new season of Softcat’s Explain IT podcast.

In this episode, we’re discussing the multi cloud complexity conundrum (it’s a mouthful). We delve into why organisations are finding themselves increasingly in the multi-cloud and discuss the drivers for this type of adoption. Are application and data specific strategies taking over from cloud first strategies and is that driving the use of multi-cloud? Can you develop, build and provision containers without multi-cloud? And how can we operate a multi-cloud when everything is running everywhere and anywhere? To answer those questions and much more I’m joined by Matt Larder, Softcat’s very own Head of Cloud; and Michael Cote, A lead technologist all the way from our friends at VMware.
