Managing a Hybrid Cloud: An Overview

Enterprises aim at competitive advantage through process agility and innovative business models at low costs. Cloud solutions provide the much-needed flexibility to enterprises to develop the capabilities necessary to innovate and seize new business opportunities. Businesses look at a better customer experience, business agility and flexibility, a reduction in hardware and IT staffing expenditure, and improved security, among other things when they decide to shift to the cloud.

According to a report by Allied Market Research, the hybrid cloud market was valued at US$ 96.7 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach US$ 414.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 17.2% between 2024 and 2032.
