The Future of Hybrid Cloud Automation & NetDevOps

Why Hybrid Cloud Is on the Rise

As the move to the cloud continues to accelerate, organizations are seeking more flexible and affordable strategies for managing data and applications across both on-premises and public cloud environments. Hybrid and multi-cloud approaches offer several key advantages when compared to a single provider approach, such as scale, lower total cloud costs, and the ability to manage applications and infrastructure assets in any environment: on-premises, in a cloud, or in multiple clouds. In short, it’s about flexibility, innovation, and control.

Innovative Technologies for Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Automation

Because hybrid networks demand a wide range of network connectivity, network automation will be key to success at scale. New tools will be needed to drive management and automation of these hybrid environments so organizations can leverage the benefits they’re looking for without falling into challenges of sprawl and complexity. In this report, Futuriom identifies a growing and innovative market for automation solutions that can provide the tools needed for hybrid and multi-cloud success. One area that’s especially significant is enabling NetDevOps, an approach to building network automation into the application development process so that an application can understand infrastructure needs and be programmed to create networking resources on demand.

NetDevOps Driving Automation Innovation

NetDevOps is a broader category that can reach across many network domains – including Internet of Things or communications networks – to collect all of the necessary network performance management and visibility which is used to implement realtime, data-driven automation decisions. As an automation environment, NetDevOps needs to extend beyond the public cloud to other networking environments, including traditional enterprise, hybrid cloud, private clouds, and network operations.

The Future of Hybrid Cloud Will Deliver Flexibility Without Lock-in

Currently, hybrid and multi-cloud cloud tools are in the early days of development, and this process is likely to unfold over the next 2-5 years. The future hybrid cloud will support a wide ecosystem of tool providers and management platforms supporting hybrid cloud applications across a blended infrastructure. The new architecture will enable management and visibility across all infrastructure, along with the ability to monitor, exchange, and secure data wherever it resides.
