Hybrid Cloud Computing: Still Five Years Before Commonly Used
Autonomous Vehicles and the Internet of Things (IoT) are cited as being at the peak of inflated expectations in Gartner’s 2015 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. Hybrid Cloud Computing also shows up on the list, but it’s moved significantly past its point of overinflated hype and will be a technology that will gradually be accepted and commonplace.
Andy Soanes, CTO of Bell Integration, said that “as enterprises continue the journey to becoming digital businesses, identifying and employing the right technologies at the right time will be critical. Finding the sweet spot, where the business is gaining the maximum benefit from a perfect balance of on-premise IT, private cloud and public cloud services, can be extremely difficult. A business must be able to identify its ‘crown jewels’: those applications where failure, or losing control of data, would have catastrophic consequences.”
James Butler, CTO at Trustmarque, told Cloud Computing News that businesses should start moving to hybrid clouds, even if their efforts are done in slow increments. “Taking an incremental approach to hybrid cloud gives CIOs a platform to lead real business change from the centre, and avoid being bypassed or replaced. By driving the strategy and promoting the positive benefits of cloud, CIOs will reduce risks and maximise investments; rather than simply ignoring cloud and falling behind.”
