“The customers who are enjoying the greatest success with
cloud are taking a hybrid approach to IT. Instead of building
internally or sourcing externally, these customers view cloud as
a continuous set of interconnected and interdependent options.
Cisco’s Intercloud strategy is built on connecting the world of
many clouds to create new revenue streams, optimize business
processes, and simplify operations.”

A leading medical research institute wanted to move away from
a traditional, distributed, computational workstation model to
an advanced private cloud-based model. Their goal was to
centralize and accelerate lab-based computational research by
deploying a flexible, dynamic, and easy-to-manage
infrastructure that was both cost effective and quick to deploy.

“We thought we were doing a pilot, but our researchers decided
we were in production, and started doing real science on our

“The rise of SaaS, aside from its numerous advantages, has taught
companies about the dangers of unintegrated technology siloes.
Leading PaaS providers must address this obstacle by offering
baked-in integration capabilities.
This will enable businesses not only benefits from best-in-class
cloud solutions, but also from the flexibility and agility to connect
with existing SaaS and on-premise solutions.”

Rob Walters, CTO
“Business managers commonly circumvent lengthy procurement
processes and use the cloud to deploy new apps or launch time-
sensitive campaigns faster. This can cause headaches for IT
departments that have to maintain security and regulatory
compliance. The most successful companies are finding ways to
reap the benefits of the cloud – agility, efficiency and cost
savings – while integrating security and governance best
practices to ensure they’re driving business growth without
undue risk.”

Jay Lyman, Senior Analyst
"It seems we're seeing further confirmation that more of what
enterprises do with IT and technology is moving to the cloud,
regardless of their industry or vertical,' said 451 Research
Senior Analyst Jay Lyman. 'The growth of hybrid cloud in
particular indicates more organizations are seeking to formalize
and standardize early, public cloud use that has not fully
addressed security, compliance and regulatory, integration and
other concerns of these enterprise organizations.”
