A hybrid cloud model gives you the freedom to design your own ideal mix of infrastructure to distribute workloads efficiently and optimize application delivery across clouds and data centers.

But this hybrid environment is ripe with challenges. Operation complexity is increased through management of multiple application-specific orchestration and automation tools, and through inaccurate allocation of workload capacity and licenses across diverse environments. Miscalculations can result in either over-provisioning of capacity or sluggish application performance. Worse, the OPEX model used by cloud providers can saddle an organization with huge, unexpected monthly bills, ultimately destroying the original goal of lower TCO.

So how do you ensure flexibility, scalability, security and performance for your applications, while controlling cost and complexity, no matter where the cloud journey takes you?
