Hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private cloud ( on premise data centres ) that when managed correctly , could bring enormous business benefits by allowing data and applications to be shared between them .
Dell Technologies Client Principal and CTO for UK & I , Rob Lamb , told Technology Magazine how businesses are optimising their IT budgets to try and create opportunities for quicker decision-making , cost reductions , enhanced customer engagement , and to ensure privacy .
As one of the world ’ s leading IT and workforce solutions providers , Dell Technologies helps clients manage cloud infrastructures and increasingly , the emerging adoption of hybrid cloud .
Explaining the real need for optimising hybrid cloud management , Lamb says that organisations are attracted to hybrid cloud because , “ on paper at least , it enables them to mix and match on-premises infrastructure , private cloud resources and public cloud services to build a cloud architecture that best fits their needs .
