Cloud computing has undoubtedly changed how enterprise IT is delivered. It has opened the door to compute and storage resources without limits, as well as a wealth of cloud services for IT professionals to leverage and create the next wave of enterprise innovation.
Why hybrid?
Hybrid cloud becomes the go-to model for enterprise IT. The hybrid cloud can be considered as an effective solution for interoperability issues in a cloud computing environment. At a basic level, a hybrid cloud architecture combines a mix of public and private clouds and on-premises infrastructure, with some level of communication or orchestration across these elements. A hybrid cloud is also considered a multicloud when it contains clouds from multiple cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud®, or Microsoft Azure. Whether it’s hybrid, multicloud, or both, organizations have assembled their cloud portfolios in ways that conformed to their immediate priorities at the time—from experimentation to expediency to the service provider’s expertise—and they don’t want to be forced to change them.
Moving to hybrid seamlessly
So, how can an enterprise push ahead with a hybrid strategy—and keep their option to choose—without adding to the complexity and inflexibility of their IT infrastructure? IBM advocates an open, hybrid cloud strategy that unifies an enterprise’s existing cloud environments and creates a bridge to tomorrow’s infrastructure. It’s an approach centered on unifying the experience for enterprise customers looking to build once, deploy anywhere, and integrate everything—across all cloud types and cloud providers.
