The use of hybrid clouds is emerging as a new trend in cloud computing. Hybrid clouds involve using a single cloud provider but obtaining services from both public and private clouds. This limits cloud sprawl and helps businesses better track spending across multiple cloud services. Experts predict hybrid clouds will become more popular as a way for companies to utilize different cloud environments through one provider. Big data analytics, improved security services, and increased reliability are also noted as developing trends in cloud computing.

The use of the 'hybrid cloud' is one of the emergent trends of cloud
computing, an expert has said.
Gil Allouche, the vice president of marketing for Qubole and a trained
software engineer, wrote in IT Portal that the majority of firms who
use the cloud choose to use several providers, rather than a single
one. This is because they believe some functions are suited better
to one than another, with a mixture of public and private
infrastructure as a service clouds.

2. However, Mr Allouch noted: "This amount of cloud sprawl has led to
concerns about whether businesses can track their resources and
spending effectively and maintain expertise on every cloud they are
using."
This, he stated, is leading to a reassessment of how firms are using the
cloud and the result is the hybrid cloud, where a single provider is used
instead of several, but the service still includes both a public and
private cloud.

3. Mr Allouche listed this as one of five trends taking effect in the area of
cloud computing.
The others include big data analytics, with this being available to
companies of any size and various technical problems of the past
becoming more easy to solve, while service providers have now
developed safety scanning services that are much cheaper than a
whole application testing program, making them easier for small and
medium-sized businesses to afford, so they too can use the cloud with
sufficient security.

4. He also identified increased use of games and a growing emphasis on
reliability as being prominent among the latest developments.
One of the largest organisations to use the cloud is Cern, which is
preparing to make use of extra storage space provided by a Hungarian
firm when its Large Hadron Collider starts operating again in 2015, its
head of infrastructure Tim Bell has said.

5. He noted it is generating 35 petabytes of data a year with its extensive
study of the experiments being carried out, which are measured by
cameras and a range of other instruments.
