The post Enterprises Move Beyond Hyperscalers: StorX Captures Real Use Cases in Multi-Cloud Deployments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
For much of the last decade, enterprises worldwide trusted hyperscalers as the backbone of their digital operations. But between 2021 and 2025, this trust was repeatedly tested as major cloud providers experienced some of the most disruptive outages in their history — events that exposed the risks of centralization and triggered a structural shift in how organizations think about storage and resilience. Over several years, a series of major cloud failures signaled a growing dependence risk: 2021 (AWS): Regional outage disrupted Disney+, Netflix, Coinbase, DoorDash, and Ring services. 2022 (AWS): Additional failures froze airline reservations, banking dashboards, and logistics networks across North America. 2023 (GCP & Azure): Google Cloud networking outage affected Spotify, Snapchat, and payment processors, while Azure authentication issues locked enterprises out of critical systems. 2024 (Azure & GCP): Microsoft cloud misconfigurations brought down Teams, Outlook, and Office365; Google Cloud outages disrupted major fintech apps; government portals in Europe and the Middle East experienced downtime. 2025 (AWS, GCP, Azure): Multi-region AWS banking API failures, GCP storage breakdowns that halted enterprise AI workloads, and Azure identity service outages that left thousands unable to access internal systems. Together, these incidents made it clear that relying on a single cloud provider had become an unacceptable and increasingly costly operational risk. A structural awakening, primarily on the enterprise IT teams, was triggered by these events. The premise upon which the enterprise IT operations were built was fundamentally reviewed; the realization was that a centralized cloud architecture did not equate to operational continuity. The new consideration was not which cloud; rather, how to ensure their ecosystem would function in the face of failures from the larger cloud service providers (CSPs). This resulted in a definite change in the industry where multi-cloud shifted from optional to a necessity. With this change came a new…
