The Power of Hybrid – Driving Consistency and Value Across Cloud and On-premises Infrastructure

Cloud computing advantages such as flexibility, scale and opex/consumption-based models are driving enterprise use for not only net-new, cloud-native applications, but increasingly for modernizing legacy workloads as well. Despite increased uptake of IaaS and PaaS for workload migration to public clouds, more than 40% of organizations have hybrid IT architecture with on-premises and private cloud environments remaining relevant for data, security and compliance among other reasons. At the same time, enterprises want to support flexibility for their technology teams; it is imperative that deployments be sanctioned, secure and compliant, regardless of the infrastructure.

As organizations manage hybrid architectures, they are focused on increasing consistency and reducing complexity by making on-premises and private cloud developer and operator experiences similar to public cloud services. Successfully moving workloads to the cloud while maintaining on-premises and private cloud deployments requires a consistent foundation that can serve as a single pane of glass for management and operations. It is also important to consider cloud modernization and migration as a journey with different companies at different points along the way between on-premises and public cloud implementation.
