Hybrid IT infrastructure

Most organizations today have embraced cloud infrastructure to some extent. Having part of the IT infrastructure in a public cloud and part on premise is generally refereed to as Hybrid IT infrastructure. On premise IT infrastructure is also referred to as private cloud . Private cloud is generally owned , operated and used by one entity (organization) . Public cloud is shared infrastructure used by more than one company. Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Office 365, Amazon AWS are few examples of public clouds.
