BrandPost: Cloud or No Cloud, Hybrid IT is the Way for Today’s Enterprise
For the last decade or so, cloud computing has seen more than its fair share of hype. Even so, the inventors of the technology hype cycle have referred to cloud computing as "one of the most hyped and confusing terms in the history of IT." If you believed the hyperbole, except for a few Luddites and technological relics, you'd think every enterprise has everything running in the cloud. But the truth is a little more complicated.
No one would argue that cloud computing hasn't fundamentally changed how business works. Cloud technology is mature and proven. Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic required organizations to accelerate their cloud initiatives to support remote workforces and the need for increased agility, scalability, and digitization. More processes and applications continue to move to the cloud, and cloud adoption is only likely to increase going forward.
