The growth of data in the business landscape is creating a challenge for IT teams to manage it, as data often needs to be connected across organizations and stored in a central repository before being actionable. To meet these demands, companies are adopting hybrid cloud solutions that combine public and private cloud services, allowing them to leverage the scale and security of public clouds while maintaining sensitive or customer-related data on-premises. Hybrid cloud adoption offers several key benefits, including modernizing at their own pace, maintaining regulatory compliance, running regulated or legacy applications on-premises, deploying applications at the edge, scaling resources efficiently, offering flexibility in workload processing, being cost-efficient, improving performance, enhancing disaster recovery capabilities, increasing agility, and driving innovation. Companies like CData are providing solutions to support hybrid cloud implementations, such as data integration tools that can help businesses quickly integrate and consolidate organizational data from any source, cloud application, or on-premises system.
