The Path Forward: Hybrid Cloud

So what will it take for this technology paradigm to move forward even faster?

Effective automation that reduces the need for manual processes while ensuring top-tier security is seen as important to large-scale deployment of SDDC strategies and technologies.

The answers are also nearly identical when respondents were asked about enforcing consistent policies aligned to meet compliance, security and business needs in a hybrid cloud deployment. A staggering 94 percent of all business and technology professionals either agree or strongly agree with that.

Solution providers should understand that organizations are seeing SDDC in a hybrid cloud environment rather than solely a private or public cloud. Channel partners should have in their portfolio both private and public cloud solutions as well as packaged hybrid offerings.
