What is Hybrid Cloud?
[A hybrid cloud service] spans both private and public
cloud implementations, or both on-premises private
and off-premises private or public cloud
implementations.
A hybrid cloud service can, among other things,
synchronize and / or replicate data between
public and private clouds, and migrate services on
a continuous basis between public and private
clouds.

Why Hybrid Cloud?
Today, we are launching a new class of hybrid cloud
innovations that extend open standards capabilities
for the enterprise.
This will help break down the barriers between
clouds and on premise IT systems, providing
clients with control, visibility and security as they
utilize the public and private clouds.
