Multi-cloud White Paper

As storing data in the cloud has become ubiquitous and mature, many organizations have adopted a multi-cloud strategy. Eliminating dependence on a single cloud platform is quite a compelling case with benefits of increased reliability, availability, performance, and the avoidance of vendor lock-in and/or specific vendor vulnerabilities, to name a few.

SNIA Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI™) v2.0 is an ISO/IEC standard, ISO/IEC 17826. CDMI enables cloud solution vendors to meet the growing need of interoperability for data stored in the cloud by providing a storage abstraction layer that insulates the application from the underlying cloud provider's interfaces which allows an application to be easily used with multiple clouds.
