IT leaders are currently facing the challenge of effectively integrating multiple infrastructures into a single, optimally-functioning environment, commonly known as hybrid IT. Many colocated data centers can offer a solution to this challenge by providing the capabilities that make a hybrid environment so attractive, including a secure, private cloud with access to public clouds. Colocation data centers can also help enterprises deploy and manage a hybrid data center in the following ways:

•    Security measures
•    Access to multiple providers
•    Flexibility and scalability
•    Curated cloud ecosystems
•    Service availability
•    Control over workloads
•    Shift CAPEX to OPEX
