Hybrid Cloud is the cloud infrastructure composed of two or more clouds (private or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardised technology that enables data and application portability (APIs, management tools, etc).Three cloud varieties: Private, Public, and Hybrid. Private cloud is internal to the customers Public Cloud is a cloud infrastructure made available to the general public e.g. Amazon, Google etcHybrid cloud is bridging clouds in a seamless manner. Remain unique entities but are bound together by standard technology that enables data and application portability.The VMware vision is to facilitate the extension of a customer datacenter to a vCloud Service Provider Cloud so resources are available on demandThis bridging is achieved using a common platform, security, and management model.Bridging definition – that you have multiple clouds in your environment and have a single pane of glass to monitor these clouds and be able to import and export between these clouds through OVF format. Bridging – today (multiple clouds in the environment) eventually VMware will be able to do Federation Cloud – 2 or more interoperable clouds enabling data and application portability -- NOT TODAY – even though businesses want it.vCloud API is wide open standard – not necessarily VMware. Might been even on Zen. Just like OVF is wide open. The API is the only thing that isrequired to go from one cloud to another. And as you are growing and as you need additional capacity for seasonal peak you can expand into the public cloud for temporary capacity or build small private clouds based on where you are. This is possible because VMware is giving an open and interoperable environment enabling the customers for hybrid cloud.
