What is Hybrid Cloud?

[A hybrid cloud service] spans both private and public cloud implementations, or both on-premises private and off-premises private or public cloud implementations.

A hybrid cloud service can, among other things, synchronize and / or replicate data between public and private clouds, and migrate services on a continuous basis between public and private clouds.

Why Hybrid Cloud?

Today, we are launching a new class of hybrid cloud innovations that extend open standards capabilities for the enterprise.

This will help break down the barriers between clouds and on premise IT systems, providing clients with control, visibility and security as they utilize the public and private clouds.
