The Challenge

A global logistics company needed to avoid vendor lock-in while ensuring high availability across multiple regions. Their single-cloud approach was creating risks and limiting cost optimization opportunities.

They required a multi-cloud orchestration platform that could seamlessly manage workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP while providing automated failover and cost optimization.

Key Challenges:

  • Vendor lock-in risks with single cloud provider
  • Regional availability requirements for global operations
  • Complex workload management across multiple clouds
  • Cost optimization across different cloud pricing models
  • Automated failover and disaster recovery needs
