Hybrid Cloud Connectivity - Integrate the Enterprise with the Cloud

Hybrid cloud connectivity capabilities are a key enabler of the near and long term usage of cloud services.  As the software market continues to progress in its adoption of cloud delivery models, there is an increasing need to provide solutions that address the challenge of a flexible integration environment, with applications and services sourced both inside and outside customer’s physical control. Outside a customer’s physical control – or so-called “off-premise”- presents a new integration challenge, because business processes will be supported via the seamless integration of on- and off-premise software services. So integration is one key challenge besides the additional requirements in automation, governance, monitoring, and security.  During this session we will show - what kind of different hybrid scenarios are applicable today from a service and deployment perspective - what are the detailed challenges in the hybrid scenario, - what are the key obstacles from a customer point of view - how different approaches like home-grown-development, messaging, ESBs, appliances and as-a-Service offerings could be used in providing on-to-off premise agility to the Enterprise. - best practices for a quick start in Cloud Service Integration So the audience (architects and strategists) will be able to identify the pros and cons of an hybrid cloud approach and understand which solutions fit best to their requirements.
