Achieving Geo-Distributed Data Management in Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud has become a strategic imperative for many enterprises due to its potential for driving innovation, reducing time to market, and extending self-service applications to lines of business. However, IT leaders often find themselves confused about how best to exploit hybrid cloud environments, particularly when it comes to managing data around powerful, geo-distributed applications. Hybrid cloud refers to the combination of on-premise resources with public cloud services, while multi-cloud involves using cloud services from multiple providers at any given time. To successfully manage geo-distributed apps in a hybrid cloud environment, a data management platform must support CARDS (Contextual, Always on, Real time, Distributed, and Scalable) applications and provide data autonomy for flexibility and security purposes. Additionally, the platform should offer various deployment options to cater to different levels of control and expertise.
