Modern IT operations are undergoing upheaval, brought on by a perfect storm of internal and external forces. While traditional IT services once ran solely from central data centers designed for client/server architectures or mainframes, many IT departments are now turning to hybrid cloud—a blend of traditional and cloud services—for greater agility and flexibility to meet changing business requirements. These valuable resources also provide reliable platforms for running emerging technologies, such as cognitive computing, sophisticated analytics and a new generation of mobile applications. This approach is catching fire: the technology researcher IDC predicts that more than 80% of IT organizations will commit to hybrid architectures by 2017.
