Disaster recovery and risk reduction.Using at least two environments for computing—on-premises and a public cloud—creates a level of built-in risk reduction and can make disaster recovery planning simpler. Hybrid Cloud Challenges An on-premises data center comes with significant fixed costs—owning...
