WHY THE HYBRID CLOUD MAKES SENSE

Discover why the hybrid cloud should be your new enterprise focus.

In the past, it was possible for a CIO to confine almost all of the technology operations of his company within the walls of a data centre that was directly managed, and likely owned, by that company.

But today, the data centre is just one component of the hybrid cloud – an architecture that combines elements of private clouds, public clouds, and on-premise data centres. Enterprises are increasingly choosing this cloud architecture in order to maximise the performance of mission-critical applications, which benefit from the security and reliability of the private cloud and on-premise data centres, as well as the scalability and flexibility of the public cloud.

Determining what goes where in a hybrid cloud and how everything fits together is a prime new focus for the enterprise. CIOs will have to develop new skills to employ the hybrid cloud and its new technologies, but the results will be well worth the effort as the hybrid cloud provides new levels of business agility.

This whitepaper examines hybrid cloud design challenges and provides advice about how to build and optimise for hybrid cloud.
