What is a Hybrid Cloud?

A combination of public cloud and private cloud (aka Hybrid) where some critical data resides in the enterprise’s private cloud while other data is stored and accessible from a public cloud provider.

With a hybrid cloud, enterprises are able to mix and match cloud resources between local data center infrastructure and scalable, on-demand infrastructure, with the cloud provider typically fully managed.

Hybrid clouds combine the advantages of scalability, reliability, rapid deployment and potential cost savings of public cloud with the security and full control of private cloud.
