Is Hybrid Cloud a destination or a half-way house?

The benefits of public cloud are well understood, i.e. flexibility and scalability, leaving you to focus on your core business.

Many clients having delivered new workloads to the public cloud have faced a number of challenges when attempting to port legacy applications. This has resulted in hybrid becoming the ‘new normal’.

What does this mean for existing on-premise solutions? Do the age-old problems remain? How can you deliver the speed and agility that your stakeholders are now expecting across all platforms?

Recognising the right environment for specific workloads appears to be a common challenge. Some organisations are repatriating workloads back to on-premise for a variety of reasons including security, regulatory and commercial considerations.

According to Gartner 86% of of respondents consider hybrid to be their ideal operating model*.

But what does hybrid mean to you?
