Cloud Adoption and the Hybrid Model

Cloud technology has significantly progressed over the last decade, achieving many of its original promises such as increased scalability and efficiency. However, many industries, particularly in regulated fields like life sciences and finance, face challenges balancing their data storage between cloud and on-premises solutions due to compliance and regulatory requirements.
