Unleash the power of the Hybrid Cloud

Digital transformation

Although the impact of digitization is not new, the digital economy is entering a new

age that presents unprecedented challenges for all companies.

Digital tools are invading the business environment, provoking significant changes in

the way we work, communicate, and sell. This has given rise to new opportunities

and challenges, and has triggered the Digital Transformation.

Key findings

Social, Mobile, real-time, and other

disruptive technologies are aligning

to necessitate bigger changes than

initially anticipated.

Digital transformation is quickly

becoming a priority for many

leading organizations.

While gaining momentum, digital

transformation as a formal

process is still in its infancy.

Digital transformation is driven partly by

technology and also by the evolution of

customer behavior.

A list of best practices will serve as a

checklist to help business take the next

steps to beginning digital transformation.

Mapping and understanding the

customer experience is

becoming critical in guiding

transformation efforts.

The sky is the limit

Today’s most successful businesses use technology to build closer

relationships with their customers. In this connected world, speed is valued

above all. But the speed of business and the speed of IT are at odds.

IT Challenges

Traditionally, IT operations were built to provide for - what was

considered – a steady state operation. IT’s mind-set was that demand

is deterministic, varying within a narrow range, and users had to fit

their IT needs within this system.

Current economic uncertainties are also bringing disruptive changes

to businesses and how IT supports these are changing. IT is under

pressure to reduce costs, develop standardised processes, and

respond quickly and flexibly all whilst increasing service levels.

Hybrid Cloud unifies the best of

private and public clouds

into one solution.

Hybrid Cloud

Definition

The National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST) defines hybrid cloud as a composition of at

least one private cloud and at least one public

cloud.

Companies don't have to choose sides in the public

cloud versus private cloud battle. With hybrid cloud,

enterprises can choose to have the best of both cloud

worlds.

But there are challenges

The hybrid cloud model consists of at least one public cloud and one private

cloud - but deploying one isn't as easy as 1+1. Understanding how to get

started on your hybrid cloud will be the key to success - from choosing a

provider to planning and executing a migration.
