Conclusion

A hybrid connectivity model is one of the fundamental starting points for the adoption of cloud computing. A hybrid network can be built with an optimal architecture following the connectivity model selection process outlined in this whitepaper.

The process consists of considerations arranged in a logical order. The order closely resembles a mental model followed by a seasoned network and cloud architects. Within each group of considerations, decision trees allow for rapid connectivity model selection, even with limited input requirements. You may find that some considerations and corresponding impacts point to different solutions. In those cases, as a decision maker, you may need to compromise on some requirements and select the most optimal solution that meets your business and technical requirements.
