The document discusses challenges with cloud computing that can be addressed through hybrid cloud solutions from Partner and Cisco. It notes that IDC surveys found the same cloud challenges continue to exist. The hybrid cloud solution of Partner and Cisco, using Cisco Intercloud Fabric, allows for choice, control, workload portability, security and compliance. Unlike other hybrid cloud solutions, it is open, heterogeneous, hypervisor and infrastructure agnostic, and overcomes security, regulatory and compliance issues through integration with public clouds.
