The most commonly talked-about hybrid cloud benefits are flexibility and control.
A hybrid environment gives companies the freedom to store some of their data and applications in a low-maintenance public cloud while entrusting other resources to a more closely managed private cloud. While this perk remains the most important selling point, there are several other advantages that a hybrid cloud strategy can offer over a public or private cloud on its own.
According to an IBM Institute for Business Value report, 98 percent of organizations plan to adopt multicloud architectures, which often include a hybrid component, by 2021.
