Why your cloud should be truly hybrid

VMware is taking the correct approach, but to quote,

However, many businesses’ silo deployments are across separate public and private clouds, rather than a genuine hybrid cloud. This is not what a genuine hybrid cloud platform is.

the consultation and implementation processes are all messed up, there are IT service providers which is pushing their own products without taking the customer's IT environment into concern, or probably only to close the sale. The other day a bigwig told me that hybrid solutions aren’t a 'proper' solution, cloud or nothing.

One thing though, Biehn's promoting scalability as a true hybrid cloud, most 1st tier global cloud providers are truly scalable and there are amazing applications, IaaS and Paas) developed and/or designed to managed that end in relation to stacks. Under certain circumstances, pending on distribution, size and many other variables, companies can deploy their own CDN.

In the UK, Europe and USA there are more attention to dynamic approaches than in SA, in Asia they are pushing diskless environments which are near completely redundant.
 
I work for a Norwegian company that offers hybrid cloud solutions.
We have a massive client base all over Europe and business is going extremely well.

Recently, we tried the same solution in SA and failed horribly due to customers wanting us to cut corners to reduce cost.
It fail miserably.

I see our latest MS Azure workshop entails "hybrid cloud vision" on the agenda... it was MS which pushed cloud only solutions since they revamped Azure into what it is today... exploiting markets now are they.

In regard to your comment, the SA market don't like change and never will, you have to push them over the ledge. SA companies will ask to be consulted, only to have them tell you. You have to make them listen to you and you need to understand them top down, once you have an allocated budget on paper and agreed upon it will make everything much easier.

100000% correct.

When they started trying to sell our product in SA, I completely avoided getting involved in the DC that was set up down here.
We now have close to R2 000 000 worth of hardware that has been turned off indefinitely.

only 2 Hyper-V hosts still being used with 2 customers onboard.
