It is common to maintain large on-prem storage repositories for a variety of business purposes. Historically the data in these repositories was only available to the applications and infrastructures running on premises. Now these repositories can be accessed by applications running in native cloud providers through high-speed cloud adjacent connectivity and the data used for temporary business insights or long-term research. This is a major change to how businesses have traditionally thought about using their data and a key value add to organizations thinking about implementing hybrid infrastructures to broaden business capabilities.
