text: **2.1.2 Cloud adoption**
  
  The initial forays for most early adopters were focused on the easy things. Moving basic 
  applications to cloud infrastructure to cut costs and building new applications in the cloud to 
  speed innovation. However, to date only approximately 10 - 20% of applications that are 
  moved to the cloud. The next 80% of the cloud opportunity focuses on shifting business 
  applications to the cloud and optimizing everything from supply chains to sales transactions. 
  To address that opportunity, companies must move and manage data, services, and 
  workflows across multiple clouds (companies are running 5 - 16 cloud vendors). This issue is 
  challenging for them because it is largely a manual process, with major security implications 
  and inconsistent cloud management and automation services. 
  
  **2.1.3 Why is hybrid cloud so important**
  
  A one-cloud-fits-all approach does not work, Companies are choosing multiple cloud 
  providers and clouds (public, private, software-as-a-service, and so on) to best meet their 
  needs. They also are integrating those clouds with existing IT to get more value. 
  
  The result is a hybrid approach to a multicloud environment. It is a mix of public clouds to 
  quickly develop and deploy applications, private clouds to maintain the highest levels of 
  security and availability for business-critical data and processes, and in many cases 
  traditional on-premises IT.
