From surveys we have seen that approximately 90% of enterprises have already realized of how to operate on these multiple clouds. These enterprises are not only looking at multiple clouds, but they are expecting an approach where applications and the critical data can leverage the IT infrastructure present on their private cloud, as well as public cloud seamlessly. Secondly, they wanted to run their applications and these workloads on a private cloud, but also wanted to leverage infrastructure on the public cloud so as to meet the occasional spikes in their workload or whenever their traffic grows. There are many companies already adopting this strategy and there are many more who are joining this hybrid cloud to meet the goal of digital transformation. So hybrid cloud is the present and the future.”
