With digital transformation reshaping the modern enterprise, applications represent a new class of assets and an important source of differentiation.

This explosive growth of apps hosted in the cloud creates a world of opportunities—and a whole new set of challenges for organizations that must now deploy and manage a vast portfolio of applications in multi-cloud environments.
