This alternative vision of hybridization is more relevant to users because they’re already committed to conventional application models, and they need different tools to integrate these current models with cloud computing in any form.

To pick tools and plan their usage, consider the general issues of hybrid cloud resources for applications, understand the range of hybridization tools and their applications, and be realistic about your own evolution to virtualization and the cloud. "Hybridization" in a cloud sense means combining resources from a variety of sources to host applications…

Hybridization has three important aspects — deployment, integration and use of the cloud to add application value — only one of which is typically considered, and perhaps the most important of which is rarely talked about…
