This also shows that in the process of modernization of users' IT infrastructure, there will be more options for cloud computing deployment. Moreover, they will be more willing to meet their own transformation needs through the form of hybrid cloud. In the future, when the reliability and security of public cloud services are increasingly improved, enterprise users will also be accustomed to putting their business into a flexible and elastic cloud environment.
