Most large enterprises understand the value of the cloud.\u00a0But of course, there are major challenges in making the transition because of the costs and risks of ripping out legacy systems.\u00a0This is why the hybrid cloud is becoming important.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThere is a classic definition of hybrid cloud, and a few that are market evolved,\u201d said David Linthicum, who is the Chief Cloud Strategy Officer at\u00a0Deloitte Consulting LLP<\/a>. \u201cThe classic definition, as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is a paired private (exists on premises) and public cloud. An organization is able to run applications on either the private or public side, or in some cases even run a single application on both private and public clouds.\u00a0The market evolved definition of hybrid cloud, on the other hand, is a bit more loosely defined. Those hybrid clouds, while still leveraging a public cloud, are different types of systems that exist on premises, such as mainframes, traditional servers, etc. They function like a hybrid cloud in that they can leverage either the on-premises systems, the public cloud systems, or both in support of application and database processing.\u00a0\u00a0This often goes by other names, such as hybrid IT. I call it pragmatic hybrid clouds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Yet there are inherent problems with the hybrid cloud.\u00a0The fact is that there is much heavy lifting with integration, which has its own risks.\u00a0The costs are usually higher and there is less agility as well fewer functions and features when compared to the pure cloud.<\/p>\n\n

Then there are the issues of having enough people with the right technical skills. \u201cThis is the biggest issue,\u201d said Umesh Padval, who is a Venture Partner at\u00a0Thomvest Ventures<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cEnterprises need to use consulting services initially as well as professional services from the vendors providing hybrid solutions while developing their own expertise over time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Regardless, many large enterprises have little choice but to focus on building a hybrid cloud.\u00a0\u201cHybrid landscapes are a fact of life for virtually all companies that still have their own datacenters that run critical and core-to-the-business applications,\u201d said Dan Lahl, who is the Global Vice President for\u00a0SAP<\/a>\u00a0Product Marketing.\u00a0\u201cThey have a significant on-premises investment, but see significant advantages in new capabilities that are available in the cloud.\u00a0\u00a0The absolute wrong question a CEO should ask his CIO is this: \u2018How fast are we moving to the cloud?\u2019\u00a0The right question is this: \u2018Are there business applications that will benefit our company and our customers with new innovations if we ran them in the cloud?\u2019\u00a0For some applications, the answer today is yes, for some the answer today is no.\u00a0\u00a0Over the next few years, we see continued growth in software solutions that bridge from the private datacenter to the cloud, e.g., hybrid environments.\u00a0Eventually, those datacenters<\/a> will decline so that we no longer see hybrid landscapes, but even as applications move to the cloud, the need to integrate those applications in order to deliver new business value will continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Thus, to be successful, there will need to be some major investments in core infrastructure.\u00a0\u00a0That is, getting traction will take time and patience.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe first thing to look at when running a hybrid environment is your operations,\u201d said Avishai Sharlin, who is a Division President at\u00a0Amdocs Technology<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cConsider looking in to \u2018lift and shift\u2019 opportunities and where you can \u2018containerize\u2019 apps. Organizations should try and make their life simple by trying to adapt existing applications to run within containers. Next, consider how you plan to scale your apps. Are you going to use Kubernetes in a standard way, or do you need other methods and techniques? Your approach may determine the best way forward while also setting expectations for changes in development directions and tooling costs. As part of a holistic end-to-end hybrid design and architecture, there are additional aspects to look into, including security and interoperability. These topics will determine the way your organization moves forward and its speed and agility.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
