The next BriefingsDirect Voice of the Analyst interview examines the growing need for proper rationalizing of which apps, workloads, services and data should go where across a hybrid IT continuum.

Managing hybrid IT necessitates not only a choice between public cloud and private cloud, but a more granular approach to picking and choosing which assets go where based on performance, costs, compliance, and business agility.

The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Sponsor: Hewlett Packard Enterprise.]
