Clearly, cloud is the way to go. Worried about which cloud is right for your enterprise -- private, public, or hybrid? In this article Netmagic highlights the 3 benefits of deploying hybrid cloud over private and public cloud.

1. Private cloud expensive, public cloud
insecure? Go hybrid
Forbes magazine recently did a roundup of the current market trends on cloud
computing and found, among other things, that,
 by 2018, 59% of the total cloud workloads will be SaaS workloads, up from 41% in 2013
 42% of IT decision makers are planning to increase spending on cloud computing in
2015, with the greatest growth in enterprises with over 1,000 employees
 By 2018, more than 60% of enterprises will have at least half of their infrastructure on
cloud-based platforms.
Clearly, Cloud Is The Way To Go. Problem Is, Which
Cloud Is Right For Your Enterprise - Private, Public Or
Hybrid?

2. In a public cloud, the IT infrastructure - that means hardware, networking, storage, services,
applications, and interfaces - is owned and operated by a service provider such as Amazon,
Google, Microsoft, and others. In a private cloud, the IT infrastructure is owned and operated by
a service provider such as IBM, Citrix, Cisco, etc. for the exclusive use of one enterprise. A
hybrid cloud is a combination of the two. One or several touch points exist between the public
and private cloud environments. In India, Netmagic is a leading provider of private, public,
andhybrid cloud services.
Not surprisingly, enterprise customers are wary of moving their workloads to public clouds
because of data security and privacy concerns. In such cases, a hybrid cloud is a compelling
alternative.
In a hybrid cloud, the public and private cloud infrastructures operate independently of each
other and communicate over an encrypted connection. This means that a company can store
sensitive data on the private cloud and still leverage compute resources from the public cloud to
run applications that rely on that data. This ensures that no sensitive data is stored long-term on
the public cloud component. In Hybrid clouds offer three clear advantages for enterprise
computing. One, the private cloud component enables an on-premise or third-party hosted
private infrastructure that is directly accessible without going through the public internet. This
greatly reduces access time and latency in time-sensitive environments such as a stock
exchange.
Two, a hybrid cloud allows you to have on premise IT infrastructure that can support the base
workload for your business, and still enable you to spill over spikes in IT demand, for example
during a holiday rush, to the public cloud. Extending to the public cloud is a cheaper proposition
than investing in a private infrastructure that sits idle for most of the year.
Three, building out the private end of a hybrid cloud allows companies to leverage their existing
IT infrastructure.
Conclusion

3. Hybrid cloud adoption is an effective option for businesses that worry about security or need to
have some parts of their IT infrastructure on premise. In such cases, a private cloud to handle
the base workload with a public cloud to manage spikes is cost-effective.
Companies across the world clearly like the idea of the hybrid cloud model. IT research firm
Gartner predicts that almost half of large enterprises globally will have deployed a hybrid cloud
by the end of 2017, with 2016 being a "defining" year where they will start to move away from
private into hybrid .
