Hybrid Cloud solutions ideal for Indian firms

A Hybrid Cloud is an integrated Cloud service utilising both private and public Clouds to perform distinct functions within the same organisation. Enterprises the world over are moving to Hybrid Cloud faster than anyone expected to support digital transformation, drive business model innovation and fuel growth and Indian firms are not behind. 

According to a latest report by Pune-based research firm MarketsandMarkets, the global Hybrid Cloud market is estimated to grow from $33.28 billion in 2016 to $91.74 billion by 2021. “Hybrid Cloud solutions give you best of both the worlds. It gives you the flexibility of a private server along with the advantages of public Cloud,” said Shashank Dixit, Founder and CEO of Deskera, a leading Cloud-based business software provider in the Asia-Pacific region.

“With the kind of talent and technology that we have in India and the demand for endpoint security becoming a high priority, I can say that we are getting safer than before and we are moving towards more secured systems,” Dixit said. 

A recent IBM study found that the top reasons executives cite for adopting Hybrid Cloud solutions are: lowering total cost of ownership (54 percent), facilitating innovation (42 percent), enhancing operational efficiencies (42 percent) and enabling them to more readily meet customer expectations (40 percent).
