Five Emerging Requirements Impacting Hybrid Cloud Strategies

As companies turn to the hybrid cloud to future-proof business and innovate faster, there are some emerging needs that they should address.Customers’ hybrid cloud expectations have evolved from just connecting environments. They are requiring a new level of flexibility and agility to develop and deploy anywhere, renew applications, and enable new applications with services, whether in a public cloud or on-prem. Here are five new requirements impacting how customers think about their cloud strategy.Ability to develop in the cloud and deploy anywhere. Rapid software development needs a flexible infrastructure that can change as the code evolves. In a hybrid cloud world, workloads can run in many locations concurrently. For one application team, development may be in AWS while production is on-premises. App “A” may be a mobility application that needs to be in the cloud to have a better user experience. App “B” may now have cloud-like agility, but needs to remain on-premises due to regulatory compliance or adjacency to corporate data.
