Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9m73g8/global_hybrid) has announced the addition of the "Global Hybrid Cloud Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Hybrid Cloud market will grow at a CAGR of 30% to 2018 The Global Hybrid Cloud market is driven by several factors, of which the need companies have to reduce their IT spending is one of the major drivers. The hybrid cloud provides IT infrastructure and application support to enterprises at lower cost than internal provisioning. Therefore, with the adoption of hybrid cloud services, enterprises are reducing their capital and operational expenditure on IT infrastructure. The rapid expansion of enterprise businesses and advanced equipment required to meet the growing business requirements are increasing the complexity of network infrastructure. To address the complexity, enterprises are adopting private cloud solutions that centralize the storage and allocation of computing resources to end-users. The private cloud has a limitation in terms of the capacity of computing resources that it can allocate to end-users. Cloud service providers are adopting hybrid cloud models where the computing resources are accessed from the public cloud in case of scarcity of resources in the private cloud infrastructure. Enterprises are charged on a per-use basis which is more economical for them. The data is stored within the enterprise premises. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges is the need enterprises have to ensure business continuity. The hybrid cloud plays an essential part in intelligent business continuity strategy. The added benefits of security, storage, savings, and virtualization encourage enterprises to make the transition to a hybrid cloud solution and alleviate their fears over cloud computing. The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
