Fusion PPT CEO Forecasts Hybrid Cloud Computing in TechnologyAdvice Interview

Fusion PPT, a recognized strategy and technology consulting firm, announced today that TechnologyAdvice.com interviewed Fusion PPT CEO Michael Biddick to discuss hybrid clouds. In an interview with TechnologyAdvice’s Clark Buckner, Biddick, an expert in the field of cloud computing who has authored a book on “Federal Cloud Computing” and written over 50 articles on cloud-related topics, provided his insight on the current challenges around hybrid clouds and the future of the hybrid cloud industry.

The cloud-enabled enterprise is continuously and rapidly evolving, challenging established IT providers, and transforming IT as we now know it. Rather than asking whether it is a good idea to move to the cloud, for many organizations it is now a matter of when to move, and how to utilize the cloud’s abundant resources to get the most for your business. Many organizations have turned to hybrid cloud to get the best of both worlds – the scaling and bursting capabilities of the public cloud, and the privacy and security of the private cloud.

Setting up a hybrid cloud may make the most sense for your business, but it isn’t easy. Issues around interoperability, portability, security, cost, and application mobility, all present real challenges to companies considering moving to a hybrid cloud environment.

“Hybrid cloud is one of those big buzz words that gets thrown out, and a lot of people talk about. But, as we talk to folks, there’s lot of misconceptions about what does [hybrid cloud] really mean, is that valuable for my organization, would it really help,” remarks Biddick. “With all the hype… a lot of the fundamentals get lost.”

Biddick discussed several leading concerns around moving to the hybrid cloud, arising from common misconceptions and a lack of understanding of what the move requires. He also examined several opportunities that organizations can leverage to build better hybrid cloud systems.

On September 29th, 2014, Biddick will present a half-day workshop on “Managing Applications in a Hybrid Cloud World,” at the Cloud Connect Summit at Interop NY. Biddick will provide his insight on managing and optimizing applications running in federated cloud computing environments. This will include tips on how to get started in a federated, hybrid cloud environment, and advice for achieving top application performance. This workshop is designed for technology and business leaders in the cloud-enabled enterprise. Come to this session armed with your questions. Participants in the workshop will have the opportunity to submit questions directly to Mr. Biddick during the event.
