"The cloud is well established as a way of trying new business models, extracting insights from big data, handling demanding workloads, and delivering new products at scale and speeds. By integrating private and public cloud resources you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The hybrid model enables you to run sensitive, mission-critical applications and workloads with reasonably stable capacity on private cloud infrastructure, while less-sensitive, more-dynamic and temporary workloads can be executed on the public cloud. You can leverage both for the same workload if needed."
