Building a better hybrid cloud

Hybrid cloud adoption is on the rise because of benefits like cost, functionality, and availability (remember last month's Amazon Web Services S3 outage?). But we recommend going a step further: Open hybrid cloud adds the interoperability, workload portability, and flexibility of open source to your hybrid environment.

Ultimately, an open hybrid cloud approach brings cloud benefits to more of your IT infrastructure, applications, and users. This month, explore how open hybrid cloud is influencing IT trends and helping businesses, and get advice for navigating your hybrid cloud journey.

Featured story

Digital transformation—brought to you by open hybrid cloud

Digital transformation is, in part, about making new and better applications. And new apps need a modern platform with new capabilities. Changes in how apps are designed, developed, and deployed come together through an open hybrid cloud strategy.

CHANGE IS GOOD

Survey says

The State of the Cloud Report

More than 1,000 respondents from businesses of many sizes took part in this 2017 survey about cloud infrastructure adoption.

  • 85% of enterprises have a multicloud strategy.
  • 67 of workloads are run in hybrid clouds.
  • 50% of central IT teams consider using hybrid cloud their top priority.
