For much of the<\/span> history of enterprise technology, companies tended to buy from a single vendor because it made managing the entire affair much easier while giving them a \u201csingle throat to choke\u201d when something went wrong.

What\u2019s stopping customers from just moving data and applications between clouds? It turns out that there is a complex interlinking of public cloud APIs that help the applications and data work in tandem. If you want to pull out of one public cloud, it\u2019s not a simple matter of just migrating to the next one.<\/p>\n
