What we want from Data in Hybrid Clouds
• Workflow mobility — overcome Data Gravity
• Seamless on-prem / cloud operations
• Strong security model for Data
• Cross-location management
• Flexibility in on-prem and cloud infrastructure choice
…
… Storage choices facilitate Hybrid Clouds
• Object Storage as a key building block
• Software Defined Storage for compatible infrastructure
• Pick your use case(s)
• Pick your data movement technique
• Grow your Hybrid use
