We all know that the cloud is a game-changing and disruptive technology for the enterprise. It is no longer a question of “if” or “when” but rather a matter of “how.” Large companies are rapidly transforming into mobile digital organizations and the adoption of a hybrid cloud strategy is more common. The Hybrid Cloud has been applauded as the strategy to enable enterprises to maintain security, control, maximize ROI from local data centers and leverage the public cloud. Despite its benefits no one said it was a seamless and straightforward journey. How do leading enterprises overcome challenges related to security, networking, data and application, system management, and compatibility?
