Cloud computing has rapidly evolved from fear to experimentation to today’s realization that the future is all about hybrid cloud. Having portable workloads that may exist across a federation on traditional on-premise, private and public clouds, though, is a daunting task. Determining these best execution venues will depend on a variety of criteria that include price, performance, security, geography, regulatory compliance or certification levels.
Despite these obstacles, hybrid clouds will forever be a core part of corporate strategy. According to Gigaom Research and North Bridge Venture Partners “Future of Cloud Computing” Survey, 76% of the IT decision makers indicate that hybrid clouds will be the core cloud strategy.
As companies begin down the path of the hybrid cloud world, corporate IT is realizing that managing a world made up of a federation of clouds, applications and users, migration is only one aspect of the challenge. Companies are desperately looking for a way to leverage this new elastic world coupled with corporate values and processes such as governance, runtime management and integration with existing tools and process.

- What is driving hybrid cloud?
