As cloud deployments mature at more businesses and government organizations, many are evolving to a more hybrid approach. And for good reason.
Hybrid cloud, an often customized integration of private and public cloud solutions, helps organizations meet their specific data, security and regulatory, scalability, and capacity needs. Businesses are able to count on the control of on-premise IT functions, while taking advantage of the agility, mobility, cost savings, and competitive advantages that public cloud solutions offer.
What hybrid solutions look like across organizations varies, but the trend toward a more complete hybrid IT is on its way. In fact, hybrid cloud represents a potential $7 billion hybrid integration market this year, as IT environments are expected to move toward becoming fully hybridized, according to a recent survey from Technology Business Research.
To see the most benefits, organizations must have a hybrid approach to their cloud solutions — so that they can seamlessly manage applications and data across multiple platforms.
But what’s the best way to achieve that? Take a look to learn how to find the right hybrid balance for your organization using these four steps:

- Find a trusted partner
