Abstract
Major platform revolutions always happened by introducing complete new technologies like the client/server model or the web and then introducing standards like the IP-protocol or hypertext that facilitated the usage and adoption of those new technologies. Just like the IP standard and routing technology enabled growth for the web, hybrid cloud standards nowadays start enabling a world of many clouds. The key capability is easy workload movement between different clouds without breaching SLAs.
Hybrid Clouds try to leverage the assets of public and private clouds while mitigating the drawbacks. Hybrid clouds can be a good foundation to build corporate services upon—if the IT department is ready to act as a service broker.
