This sort of cloud emerges from the rise of ARM-based system-on-chip for server-class computing. Hybrid cloud can be a nice compromise for those considering public cloud vs non-public cloud.

Another example of hybrid cloud is one where IT organizations use public cloud computing resources to fulfill momentary capacity needs that can not be met by the non-public cloud. This functionality enables hybrid clouds to make use of cloud bursting for scaling throughout clouds. Cloud bursting is an software deployment model during which an utility runs in a non-public cloud or knowledge middle and “bursts” to a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity increases. A major benefit of cloud bursting and a hybrid cloud model is that a company pays for additional compute assets only when they’re needed. Cloud bursting allows information facilities to create an in-house IT infrastructure that helps common workloads, and use cloud resources from public …
