Excellent insights, Nick! To have many of the advantages of cloud technology many businesses are moving to the private cloud. However, private cloud would always be better and reliable, is not the case in most scenarios. For example, private cloud may use older technology than public cloud and it can be costly for many businesses since it adds infrastructure costs into the account. On the other hand, public cloud has its own problem such as security, compliance and access control.

I agree that the hybrid cloud gives businesses more flexibility and data deployment options. With hybrid cloud, businesses can mix and match public cloud and private cloud as required.
