These are scenarios where an organization acquires and manages in-house resources to meet its base need, but can also harness additional resources from a cloud provider to maintain an acceptable response time during workload peaks." ¶ "[...] through cloud bursting, organizations can also avoid over-provisioning of base resources, while still providing users better response time." ¶ "Cloud bursting has so far been associated with the use of additional computing resources from a cloud provider for applications."

  • Guiding the Enterprise (part 5) 2011 (†276 5. "Understanding the key terms . . ." ): Cloud bursting is an application deployment model in which an application runs in a private cloud or data center and bursts into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes. The advantage of such a hybrid cloud deployment is that an organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are needed. ¶Experts recommend cloud bursting for high performance, non-critical applications that handle non-sensitive information.
