This guide shows how a Fractional CTO from Fracto turns cloud sprawl into competitive edge.

92% of large enterprises already run multi-cloud workloads, juggling an average of 4.8 providers (1,2). For FinTech and HealthTech scale-ups, the strategy delivers global performance, compliance flexibility, and negotiating power—if executed with disciplined architecture.

Why Multi-Cloud Now?

Resilience: Outages in AWS us-east-1 or Azure west-Europe no longer crater revenue.
Regulatory Mandates: PCI-DSS, HIPAA, data-residency laws force geographic workload placement.
Pricing Leverage: Benchmarking across providers cuts compute spend 25–40% (3).

Risks of One-Cloud Lock-In
