To accelerate their businesses, enterprises are seeking to implement their right mix of hybrid infrastructure—combining public cloud, private cloud, and traditional IT resources—thereby speeding innovation and growth.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) believes an organisation’s hybrid infrastructure strategy needs to define their right mix of cutting-edge infrastructure, power their right mix with the best internal and external resources, and optimise their right mix with leading management tools to ensure success every step of the way.

The main advantage of implementing a hybrid infrastructure solution is the ability to provision infrastructure and applications in minutes, which increases agility and scalability. When making an application deployment decision between public, private, and managed cloud, there are many factors such as performance, security, data sovereignty, speed, cost, and regulatory compliance, that can influence the decision that customers will weigh—and it’s clear that there is no single answer.

Ultimately, each enterprise needs to make their own choices based on their unique requirements for where applications will be deployed across traditional IT, public, private, and managed cloud.
