The document discusses hybrid cloud computing, which allows organizations to manage some IT resources in-house while utilizing external public cloud services for others. This approach offers scalability and cost-effectiveness while minimizing vulnerabilities to critical applications. It emphasizes the importance of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in defining expectations for security, performance, and reliability in cloud environments.

2. Cloud ComputingCloud 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 2010Field Management Solutions B.Vwww.MarcDenHeld.com2

5. What is HybrideA 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.Vwww.MarcDenHeld.com5

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.
