In the past year, private clouds have dominated discussion amongst IT managers, mostly due to concerns over the security of public clouds. But public clouds are also very appealing, especially for applications and data where security is not a large risk; they’re ideal for bursty applications that need peak computing power and storage for short periods of time.We expect IT organizations that build private clouds will eventually look to extend their cloud model to hybrid clouds, meaning that those building a private cloud consider the extensions needed to expand to a hybrid cloud.

According to Ken Ferderer, CTO at LineSider Technologies, the goal of hybrid clouds is that as you run out of capacity in the private cloud, you can quickly reach out to the public cloud to get the resources that you need to operate your business.
