Every organization has a unique journey to the cloud that is determined by the needs of their critical applications. They need the flexibility to run apps and data on a purpose-built infrastructure, irrespective of where they are run: Public, Private, or On-premises. Now more than ever, the cloud is not a place; it is a set of features. The cloud agility with DevOps and as-a-service model should be available wherever apps and data run; This is driving Hybrid Cloud adoption, the next major shift in the evolution of enterprise IT.
However, to derive maximum value from hybrid cloud, a consistent operating model that works across all cloud environments is needed. What was necessary for heritage IT infrastructure is still important today: security, uptime, flexibility. Enterprise organizations are looking for ways to evolve IT infrastructure without changing what is working while embracing the cloud’s agility. You want to architect cloud-native applications that run anywhere and that avoid vendor lock-in. Now is the right time for modernizing applications to take advantage of the cloud.
