Cloud services provide on-demand access to IT resources and applications over the Internet. There are three layers of cloud services: infrastructure (e.g. servers), platform (tools to build apps), and applications (SaaS). SaaS is growing rapidly among SMBs as it allows outsourcing functionality at lower costs. Infrastructure services provide flexibility but don't address scaling or management costs. Platform services abstract infrastructure, allow scaling, and significantly reduce development and operational costs. Concerns around data governance, availability, and security are impacting adoption, driving growth of private clouds which provide more control. Ultimately, both vendors and customers share accountability for security and data ownership.
Over the past few years, businesses have had to step up in their use of technology and the hybrid cloud has become the benchmark of evolution. There are many are still unclear on what the benefits of hybrid cloud are. Every other company is looking to upgrade their systems and embrace the hybrid cloud with a majority registering transitional challenges as the reason they are yet to undertake this transformation. While seeking to understand why, we highlight clear winners in hybrid cloud; you may find it convincing enough to switch to an otherwise mysterious phenomenon. The hybrid cloud does not have a shortage when it comes to lucrative features especially for the business world. We look into some of these features below that are part of the reason why the hybrid cloud is so appealing to all business types.

Hybrid cloud decisions

2. Cloud Computing Cloud computing liberates organizations to deliver IT services as never before. Cloud enables the dynamic availability of IT applications and infrastructure, regardless of location. More rapid service delivery results from the ability to orchestrate the tasks to create, configure, provision and add computing power in support of IT and business services much more quickly than would be possible with today’s (yesterday’s) computing infrastructure. * IBM 2010 Field Management Solutions B.V www.MarcDenHeld.com 2

4. It is not an all or nothing question. Field Management Solutions B.V www.MarcDenHeld.com 4
5. What is Hybride A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment in which an organization provides and manages some resources in-house and has others provided externally. For example, an organization might use a public cloud service, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for archived data but continue to maintain in-house storage for operational customer data. Ideally, the hybrid approach allows a business to take advantage of the scalability and cost-effectiveness that a public cloud computing environment offers without exposing mission-critical applications and data to third-party vulnerabilities. How and who will help you determine the hybrid mix? Field Management Solutions B.V www.MarcDenHeld.com 5

7. The biggestrisk is your SLA Always important in a cloud scenario is the SLA or service level agreement. This document details the expectations to be met and describes goals in each critical area like security, performance and downtime and so on. An SLA is different for public, private and hybrid clouds. There is no standard template that can be uniformly applied to all cloud computing scenarios.
