Cloudburst:

From the Vocabulary of Cloud Computing:

The dynamic deployment of a software application that runs on internal organizational compute resources to a public cloud to address a spike in demand.

A Google search reveals some of the history of the term.  It was coined by Jeff Barr from Amazon Web Services, and then developed by the community to capture the essence of the techniques required to bridge public clouds and private networks.

I think you’ll see more about “cloudbursting” as the enterprise starts to adopt the Cloud.   Web servers, development and test servers, and non-mission critical databases are being connected now.

The connective tissue to cloudburst in a secure fashion, like CohesiveFT’s VPNcubed, will play an important role in enabling IT administrators to burst outside of their tradtional on-premise or managed service datacenters.
