Roundtable Discussion: Can a True Hybrid Storage Solution Exist?
On a recent episode of the On Premise IT Roundtable podcast, I joined three of the best minds in cloud storage and unstructured data management to answer the question of whether or not real hybrid cloud storage exists. Certainly the cloud is an important part of just about every IT infrastructure in some way or another. But what does “hybrid cloud” mean exactly?
