Empowering Future Growth: How Multicloud Enables AI-Driven Expansion
Agencies across government are entering a new era—one defined by AI-driven operations, data-centric decision making and multicloud architectures that support innovation without compromising compliance or control. Modernization today is no longer about simply upgrading IT. It’s about building an environment where AI can thrive, data is accessible and secure, and mission outcomes accelerate through intelligence.
Our eBook with Dell Technologies, “Empowering Future Growth: How Multicloud Enables AI-Driven Expansion,” explores how agencies can strategically deploy multicloud to unlock the full potential of AI, improve data governance and drive long-term mission success.
Why Multicloud Matters for an AI-Ready Future
Public sector organizations face mounting challenges, from rising citizen expectations to constrained budgets and rapidly growing data volumes. AI has emerged as a transformative force, but its impact depends entirely on secure, scalable and efficient access to data.
Many agencies still rely on siloed or aging infrastructure, limiting their ability to adopt and operationalize AI. To meet today’s demands, agencies need architectures that:
- Provide seamless access to data across environments
- Support high-performance compute for AI and analytics
- Maintain compliance with mandates like FedRAMP and CMMC
- Reduce risk and avoid vendor lock-in
- Enable cost-efficient scaling as AI workloads grow
A modern multicloud foundation allows agencies to balance flexibility with governance that keeps sensitive or regulated data on-premises while leveraging cloud capabilities for scalable intelligence.
A Smart Approach to Hybrid + Multicloud
Just as agencies are embracing “Cloud Smart, not Cloud Always,” they are similarly adopting Multicloud by Design rather than multicloud by accident.
The eBook highlights that agencies increasingly require hybrid environments that seamlessly integrate on-prem, private, and public cloud resources. These models allow agencies to:
- Keep mission-critical data on-prem to maintain security and sovereignty
- Use elastic cloud compute for AI model training, analytics or burst workloads
- Minimize latency for real-time inference and operational decisions
- Maintain consistent governance across every environmen
This multicloud flexibility ensures agencies have the right tools in the right place, optimizing both security and performance.
Building a Secure, Governed and Compliant Data Foundation
As AI adoption accelerates, so must the rigor around data security and control. Multicloud architectures provide agencies the ability to process and store data in specific regions or environments to comply with evolving mandates.
The eBook emphasizes that true AI readiness requires:
- Strong data governance
- Regionally aware data placement
- Consistent security controls across clouds
- Integration with Zero Trust models
- Avoidance of vendor lock-in through open ecosystems
A multicloud model ensures agencies maintain visibility, sovereignty and compliance even as they scale AI across diverse environments.
Optimizing Performance for Data-Intensive, AI-Driven Workloads
AI workloads fluctuate dramatically and often require massive compute and data throughput. Multicloud gives agencies the agility to align resources with mission needs.
The eBook outlines several key performance benefits:
- Workload Optimization: Run tasks on-prem for low latency or in the cloud for scalability.
- Data Accessibility: Ensure AI has real-time access to the data it needs to perform.
- Scalable Compute: Burst to the cloud for training and large-scale analytics.
- Improved Efficiency: Reduce over-provisioning and control costs while maintaining performance.
By distributing workloads intelligently, agencies accelerate insight generation and improve mission responsiveness.
The Dell Multicloud Advantage
Dell Technologies has redefined what multicloud can be through its AI Factory and Multicloud by Design approach—prioritizing control, consistency and interoperability.
Key capabilities highlighted in the eBook include:
- Simplified AI Deployment: APEX Cloud Platforms and AI Factory with NVIDIA provide validated, automated solutions to help agencies move from pilot to production quickly.
- Data Governance & Control: Agencies maintain complete oversight of sensitive datasets while still leveraging cloud-based AI innovation.
- Optimized AI Performance: Dell platforms dynamically deploy workloads to the most efficient environments, reducing cost and improving mission responsiveness.
- Open Ecosystem Integration: Dell supports top AI frameworks including NVIDIA NIM microservices, Red Hat OpenShift and Azure AI—ensuring agencies are never locked into a proprietary stack.
