Hybrid cloud - Wikipedia

This article may have been previously nominated for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hybrid cloud exists.
It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

This is an emerging, poorly defined neologism. Neither the article nor the two references agree on what it is - in one case it's a hybrid of two clouds and in the other it's a hybrid of locally managed services and cloud services. A third, unmentioned, hybrid cloud technology (RunMyJobs) stores data and runs applications on a company's servers. (The lead sentence is nearly an exact copy/paste form the NIST source.)

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it.

This message has remained in place for seven days, so the article may be deleted without further notice.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.

A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure composed of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability.^[1] By utilizing "hybrid cloud" architecture, companies and individuals are able to obtain degrees of fault tolerance combined with locally immediate usability without dependency on internet connectivity. Hybrid Cloud architecture requires both on-premises resources and off-site (remote) server based cloud infrastructure.

Hybrid cloud disadvantages

Hybrid clouds lack the flexibility, security and certainty of in-house applications.^[2] Hybrid cloud provides the flexibility of in house applications with the fault tolerance and scalability of cloud based services.
