With the trend of many customers going off-premises and migrating all their workloads to everything-in-the-cloud
model, they are indicating lesser investment in their self-managed infrastructure. The cloud journey has been bumpy
for these customers and they are looking for more practical options. As the cloud solution does not handle all the
workloads, customers are benefiting from the advances in hybrid cloud technologies and configurations that are
permitting them to predominantly implement this hybrid approach.

With this more manageable option, customers
balance their on-premises compute environments and their cloud workloads. One of the ways customers are
implementing hybrid cloud is to migrate many of their workloads to hosted environments such as colocations, while
the remaining workloads stay on-premises.
