Your on-premises network contains 100 servers. Recommend a solution that provides additional resources to users while minimizing capital and operational expenditure.

A hybrid cloud solution allows you to extend your existing on-premises infrastructure into the public cloud, providing additional resources as needed. This minimizes capital expenditure by avoiding the purchase of new hardware and reduces operational expenditure by only paying for cloud resources when they are consumed. A complete migration to the public cloud might be too disruptive and costly for immediate needs. An additional data center would incur significant capital and operational expenditure for new hardware, facilities, and staff. A private cloud, while offering flexibility, still requires substantial upfront investment in hardware and ongoing management, similar to an additional data center.
