Organizations are feeling the shift to the hybrid cloud as leading publishers such as Microsoft pushes their cloud platforms. Executive management is left pondering what solutions can be cloud based and how to integrate them into existing IT investments without significant effort and cost. Microsoft has created a number of hybrid options that allow companies to selectively migrate enterprise solutions or build new apps that use cloud services while maintaining an on-premises infrastructure. Spend an hour learning about Microsoft's Cloud stack and 3 trending Hybrid scenarios built on top of it. Hybrid Identity, Hybrid Storage and Hybrid Exchange will be discussed in this session.

The hybrid wizard’s “OnPremisesSmartHost” property controls the flow of internal mail from
Exchange Online to Exchange on-premises
The FQDN defined within OnPremisesSmartHost can be:
A single Exchange 2013 CAS or 2010 Edge server
Multiple round robin Exchange 2013 CAS or 2010 Edge servers
Multiple load balanced Exchange 2013 CAS or 2010 Edge servers (recommended)
If you want outbound email from on-premises to the Internet to go through EOP you need to
create an extra “*.*” send connector that forwards all mail to EOP
