As the industry evolves, we pause to examine the driving forces behind the move to hybrid and as a Service. The confluence of new technologies, varied needs and customer expectations for managing infrastructure is paving the way for a robust hybrid future.

Complicated? Perhaps. But you’ll see it all makes sense for optimizing your digital transformation.

One model doesn’t fit all use cases. What’s the right approach for you?

Businesses are at a crossroads. With data everywhere, it is imperative that they create and manage a simplified, consistent edge-to-cloud experience, which is flexible and scalable while delivering the lowest cost per workload. Increasingly, hybrid cloud is that solution.

We kick off the third season of The Element Podcast presented by Hewlett Packard Enterprise with a primer on hybrid cloud. Four top industry analysts join HPE executives Phil Davis and Robert Christiansen in a spirited discussion of this ongoing evolution – and how HPE is helping customers choose the right mix of options to optimize their workloads.

A highlight from the podcast: “Whether it's on prem or public cloud or edge, customers are looking for a common experience … the ability to be multi-cloud and choose where (to) most cost effectively run a workload is a (key) element of hybrid.” – Phil Davis
