Hybrid cloud refers to a network of clouds where many different types of cloud services are combined into one. Hybrid clouds can be built using public, private and/or community resources.
A hybrid cloud is an extension of the on-premises environment into the public cloud. Some users are looking for a complete replacement for their local data center with a public cloud solution, while others are more interested in the flexibility of being able to add or remove capacity as needed.
Hybrid clouds allows the combination of multiple deployment models – such as private cloud, community cloud, and public cloud – into one network while still maintaining full control over IT infrastructure.
