One of the biggest hosting trends at the moment is the hybrid cloud. The integration of private and public cloud offerings allows businesses to increase scalability, security and flexibility, as well as benefitting from greater cost efficiencies.
At the HostingCon 2013 event, panel members highlighted that organisations want flexibility and options, so salespeople need to deliver solutions which cover as much as possible. The complexity of cloud services can prove to be a challenge, but by effectively educating your customers on how the cloud works and what it offers, it is easy to overcome this.
The recent Future of Cloud Computing Survey emphasised that cloud adoption has continued to rise in 2013. 76% of respondents expect hybrid clouds to be at the core of their cloud strategies. The survey also showed that agility and scalability are the primary drivers for cloud adoption, and 6 out of the top 7 fastest areas of growth in cloud applications will be in IT areas such as Big Data, mobile, systems management, backup/DR/BC, helpdesk and security [source: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130619005581/en/2013-Future-Cloud-Computing-Survey-Reveals-Business.]
As cloud adoption increases, the hybrid cloud computing mix and match approach will allow salespeople to stay ahead of their competitors in a wider market.
