Is hybrid cloud certification right for you?
After years of shifting applications to the public cloud, enterprises realize it’s not the right fit for every app and are pulling some back to private clouds, forcing them to adopt a hybrid strategy. But it’s not an easy process and one that may require formal training and certifications for the IT pros tasked with this important transition.
“A huge desire to move to the cloud, and pressure from lines of business to move to the cloud, have created an experience gap that has led to serious missteps and forced IT teams to repatriate workloads they had put in the cloud back into the data center,” says Scott Sinclair, senior analyst at IT research firm ESG. “IT’s level of competence, experience, and education in how to integrate with the cloud is woefully inadequate.”
