Tectonic shift as public cloud giants acknowledge the power of private deployment options

I thought the article Tectonic shift as public cloud giants acknowledge the power of private deployment options from GIGAOM is quite significance as the article mention that the

Both Amazon and Google, which launched huge price cuts and a raft of new services on Tuesday, clearly have the scale and resources to vacuum up a lot more corporate jobs into their respective clouds. What both lack is a full hybrid cloud strategy that would let businesses balance private and public cloud deployment as they see fit. And that’s public-private cloud coexistence message is the one legacy IT players like VMware and Microsoft have been pounding home.

But the public cloud companies are starting to get there. Google announced much faster data ingestion for its BigQuery database service that can now take in 100,000  rows per second versus 1,000 before.

VMware, IBM and Microsoft have all launched technology initiatives on the strength of the future prospects of hybrid cloud computing. Despite that, Bittman noted that "actual hybrid cloud computing deployments are rare." While three-fourths of those polled predicted hybrid deployments would occur in the next two years, Bittman scaled that optimism back to "nearly half by the end of 2017" for his prediction.

If IT finds public cloud use follows a pattern already established in the private cloud, then it becomes possible, in some cases, to gain the flexibility of adding resources when needed from the public cloud. There will still be limiting factors. Only some public clouds are likely to have a degree of compatibility with a given private cloud. Application-to-application integration may not be possible for many legacy apps. But public/private cloud operations will be a logical outcome of the path many organizations have already started down, Bittman concluded.
