The days of managing clouds in accidental isolation are over, as multi-cloud has shifted from an unintended consequence of acquisitions to a deliberate boardroom strategy driven by data sovereignty and AI needs. Dirk Alshuth, from emma Technologies, explains how their platform is unifying these fragmented environments—including complex brownfield on-prem setups—by providing a no-code abstraction layer that eliminates the need for specialized engineering skills for every different cloud provider. By integrating a dedicated multi-cloud networking backbone, organizations can finally move workloads based on cost and performance rather than being held hostage by exorbitant egress fees and legacy inertia.
