Hybrid cloud app deployment: meet the experts at InterConnect

Hybrid cloud can liberate organizations by providing complete flexibility in infrastructure. An organization can start on public cloud. As their business grows, they can move to a private cloud that offers a dedicated, single-tenant cloud environment. Or they can do the reverse. Businesses can also choose to run only front-end applications on an off-premises environment, while maintaining back-end applications and data on their private cloud. The possibilities are endless.
Imperatives of a hybrid cloud solution to set the client free
Hybrid cloud solutions must support both cloud-enabled applications and cloud-native applications. Businesses will always have applications and data that are not designed to run entirely on the cloud. While every company wants efficiency and agility, certain industries need built-in security, isolation and compliance. These solutions should have a common blueprint for all environments including development, test, acceptance and production to ensure minimum deployment errors and configuration shifts.
IBM PureApplication and Bluemix Local System provide hybrid cloud solutions for accelerating application environment deployment. They were built to maintain the balance between efficiency, flexibility and agility and the need to maintain security, isolation and compliance.
