What is hybrid cloud?
Hybrid cloud gives you the best of all options – a combination of colocation, dedicated services, private clouds and even connections to public cloud that’s ideally configured for your organisation. Hybrid cloud provides all-important agility and flexibility, as you can ensure that every workload and application is in the most suitable environment.
