 Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid clouds work by
combining two or more separate computing
environments. Public+Private=Hybrid.
Strong hybrid cloud networking is critical
for a hybrid cloud deployment to function
correctly. Interconnectivity between
environments is typically established using a
local area network (LAN), a wide area
network (WAN), a virtual private network
(VPN), and application programming
interfaces (APIs). The best hybrid cloud
