Mixed cloud trends highlight, cloud computing applications accelerate

Over the past few years, cloud computing has become a hot spot in the industry, and many companies are engaged. But the overheated development has not led to the explosion of cloud computing applications, the various types of cheap, easy-to-use cloud services flooded the market, which also gave business leaders to the application of cloud computing doubts. Because of the complexity of the enterprise operation, the enterprise has put forward the extremely high request to the cloud Platform's reliability, security, stability, expansibility, but this is the current many cloud service cannot satisfy. After the heat, people began to rationally think about how to use the cloud more rationally, more and more enterprises realize that they want to have the public cloud efficient, flexible resource advantages, but also want to have the security of private cloud and management of operational requirements, this need to use a mixed cloud model to solve. At the same time, many big companies are already considering a hybrid cloud environment to integrate their existing technology investments, record systems with the new cloud workloads spawned by the rise of large data, mobile and social (interactive) systems.
