Hybrid Cloud Services

A hybrid cloud is an IT infrastructure that integrates at least one public cloud and at least one private cloud and provides orchestration, management, and application portability between them in order to create a single, flexible, optimal cloud environment for running a company's computing workloads.

A hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure is one that includes more than one public cloud from more than one cloud service provider.

By allowing a company to combine best-of-breed cloud services and functionality from multiple cloud computing vendors, choose the optimal cloud computing environment for each workload, and freely move workloads between public and private cloud as circumstances change, hybrid cloud (and particularly hybrid multi-cloud) assists a company in achieving its technical and business objectives more effectively and cost-efficiently than public or private cloud alone.

In fact, according to one recent study, a hybrid cloud provides up to 2.5x the value of a single-cloud, single-vendor approach.
