Hybrid cloud solutions require a flexible approach

You should also spend time identifying which piece of your company's information are too important to trust to a public cloud vendor. Doing this work early will help you establish a realistic budget of your full storage needs and determine how much you'll be spending on private storage. In some cases, such as government agencies dealing with secure information, privacy concerns may be so great that IT teams must operate a small in-house storage solution in lieu of or in addition to a mixture of private and public cloud storage.

IT teams will have to develop solutions as they go
In a world with increasingly complex hybrid strategies, it's best to start simple. Integrating the new storage method in stages will be less work, and is less inherently risky, than trying to update the entire data center at once. IT teams may find that their current mix of private and public cloud is not meeting their needs, and need to adjust their ratio. Thankfully, cloud storage makes it easy and cost effective for companies to scale their storage as necessary. In cases where the need for physical security is so great that in-house storage is absolutely necessary, using a remote console server will simplify the challenge of making that data accessible in other locations.
