According to research and advisory firm Forrester, organizations have been adopting cloud solutions, both public and private, for many years to support their digital transformation.
As the lines blur between different flavors of cloud, the concept of hybrid cloud has emerged, where organizations use a mix of both private and public cloud solutions across multiple use cases and workloads. As organizations shift away from on-premises technology deployments, the spotlight shifts to the role that IT professionals play in this new hybrid cloud world.
Why hybrid cloud
No cloud service stands alone and not all workloads are the same. They vary in performance, reliability, control and security requirements. Hybrid cloud solutions combine the best of both private cloud and public cloud and are transforming the way organizations develop and deploy technology solutions.
Benefits of a hybrid cloud solution include:
- Agility and speed – Scale on demand, optimize for price, performance and business continuity.
- Governance and control – Security, resiliency and control delivered efficiently and effectively.
- Cost efficiency – Shift CAPEX to OPEX, capitalize on the new economics of cloud.
- Innovation and performance – Create new services, capabilities, hybrid applications and exploit new business opportunities.
