If Microsoft had its way, it is likely that every organization would move immediately to cloud-based storage. However, many businesses are just not ready to make that move. Therefore, the tech giant has reached a solution: bring the cloud to the customers rather than expecting them to change the way they do business! At the recent Microsoft Ignite conference in Chicago, company executives discussed "stretching the cloud" to add services and make on-premises installations more scalable and flexible. Rather than approaching hybrid solutions as something temporary until customers finally give in and move to the cloud, hybrid installations are now becoming a permanent way to maximize company effectiveness. C3IT is working with our customers to find solutions that fit their needs. If you need advice on a hybrid configuration, we can help! Call us today or visit our website.

SharePoint and Hybrid Solutions

SharePoint 2016 is being re-configured with completely revamped architecture, in part due to the need to enable cloud-based functionality that will run well in hybrid environments. Skype and Azure users will be able to run these programs on-premises, while new APIs will convey services to data centers that have never been there before. Microsoft has stated that its mission for the next SharePoint release includes improving user experience and focusing on compliance and reporting. While the company still promotes cloud-based computing, the new version of SharePoint will offer users many options, including on-premises and hybrid systems so that their cloud configuration and use can be as much or as little as they want. Microsoft also promises that this vision will remain for the future, with new releases building on the flexibility of SharePoint 2016.
