Introduction
Microsoft SharePoint hybrid deployments are rapidly becoming popular with Microsoft’s investments on increased SharePoint productivity, not only in your own environment (on-premises) but also collaborating in new ways through the largest and most advanced cloud service platform in the world—Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure. SharePoint hybrid is about connecting SharePoint on-premises to Office 365 and Azure to extend capabilities, enhance collaboration, and drive innovation forward.
