Brief Description of Hybrid Cloud Server

Being deployed within a hybrid cloud, a hybrid cloud server can be deployed differently. It can be hosted on premises or on a public or private cloud.

The server is usually managed by a hybrid cloud manager / software. It can be used for any server end process / task / operation such as deploying application, storage or backup. It is usually installed with a cloud / virtualization enabled server operating system such as Microsoft Hyper V.
