Business leaders are realizing the advantages of a hybrid cloud. Almost half of respondents to our 2025 State of Business-Driven Technology Report Survey selected hybrid cloud as their preferred deployment model. Read on to learn more about why this strategy has emerged as the dominant one.
“While hybrid cloud has emerged as the dominant deployment model, we’re seeing organizations increasingly leverage edge computing capabilities that extend their cloud infrastructure closer to data sources. This strategic approach minimizes latency while maintaining flexibility, security, and control benefits that make hybrid architectures so compelling for modern enterprises.” – Mansoor Anjarwala, Xcelacore Co-founder and Partner
What is a hybrid cloud?
According to Microsoft, hybrid cloud computing combines public cloud computing with on-premises infrastructure, or the private cloud, into one integrated environment.
Three benefits of hybrid cloud:
- Flexibility: This approach affords businesses the luxury of allocating resources to either private or public cloud storage, depending on their unique business needs. Additionally, a hybrid cloud allows businesses to leverage the large amounts of storage capacity of a public cloud, making it possible to scale up as needs evolve.
- Security: A hybrid cloud tends to be more secure than relying entirely on the public cloud. Businesses can choose what data lives where, giving them the opportunity to stow away more sensitive data in a more secure private cloud.
- Control: A hybrid cloud allows businesses to avoid ceding full control to a third party. With even just partial storage allocated to on-premises infrastructure, organizations have a say in configurations and overall data management.
