A storage strategy that combines private-cloud or on-premises infrastructure with public-cloud services.
Organizations can keep sensitive or performance-critical data in a private environment while moving backups, archives, or lower-risk data to a public cloud. This model is useful when regulatory, security, or latency requirements prevent everything from moving off-site.
Hybrid storage combines local performance and control with the scalability and cost flexibility of public cloud infrastructure. Data and workloads can be placed in the environment that best matches their requirements.
