Hybrid Cloud reshaping the Enterprise

Hybrid Cloud is an emerging phenomenon in the cloud computing category and it is here to stay in the years to come.It is considered to have the potential to reshape the entire cloud market. Most of the people nowadays view cloud as a scalable platform with immense possibilities. More business are increasingly getting aware about the benefits on offer with cloud computing that includes its risk, location and model independent characteristics. Businesses can get information at any time quickly in a robust manner with the cloud computing technology.

Cloud computing also helps outperform the service level agreements of internal IT departments with the instant availability of information, even though it might come at a cost. Technology has become much more centralized than ever before with cloud computing. Enterprises now are much more comfortable in choosing a cloud vendor as they know that they would be able to commit with the provider in a useful way. It is mutually beneficial for both enterprises and cloud services provider when it comes to creating the applications and migrating to a cloud.

However the recent market share estimates points out that companies such as Amazon, IBM, Google and Microsoft accounting for a majority of the global cloud share market. This means smaller players in the cloud services segment are still lagging in achieving a bigger share of the clients. Even though smaller business might have incredible innovation capabilities, they would be still unable to compete on that scale as big companies do.

Here is where the relevance of hybrid cloud computing comes in to effect. By implementing a decentralized cloud, enterprises can avoid the risk of entirely focussing on a couple of suppliers that have made big inroads in to the cloud computing segment. Hybrid cloud being a combination of benefits from private cloud and public cloud is sure to determine the future of entire cloud computing.

Some of the benefits of Hybrid Cloud include,

• Enhanced flexibility
• Maximum performance
• Secure
• Accessible from any device and any where
• Suitable for both office and home workers

Most of the enterprises that are ready to choose hybrid cloud computing points out the risk in relying upon a single merchant for all their varying computing requirements.Certain considerations make it difficult for enterprises to opt for either private cloud or public cloud.The centralization in public cloud providers and the desperation to find out a symmetry in between the off and on premises of computing strategies is forcing enterprises to explore the hybrid cloud capabilities in layers.Hybrid cloud computing has become synonymous with multi-cloud than ever before.

The popularity of PaaS software platforms as well as other cloud management platforms throws insight in to the growing need for multi-cloud capabilities. In the coming years, we can expect implementing the applications of PaaS platforms in achieving a decentralized computing model wherein PaaS layer can be used for merging resources from regional infrastructure providers, on-premises infrastructure providers and from public clouds etc.
