SharePoint Hybrid Features Explained

What is Hybrid

SharePoint Hybrid is a configuration and set of features that enables users to access content from both SharePoint Online and SharePoint on-premise environments.

Hybrid Deployment

A SharePoint Hybrid Deployment refers to the link between a SharePoint Server farm and Office 365.

Types of Hybrid Searches

• Federated Search – Shows results from SharePoint Online by making remote SharePoint queries.
• Cloud Hybrid Search – In contrast to a Federated Search, this form of search pushes the index of On-Premise items and documents to Office365 where it is merged with the SharePoint Online index.

SharePoint Hybrid Features

• Search – Search enables users to locate content residing in both online and on-premise environments through a single search box.
• OneDrive for Business – Content is stored automatically in Office 365 rather than on-premise, providing easier access from anywhere including OneDrive mobile App, and synching to devices.
• Integrated App Launcher – access online and on-premise applications from a single menu.
• Team Sites and Delve Integration

The Benefits of Hybrid

• Two platforms for your workloads
• Add features to your On-Premise Content
• Integrated – Access both online and on-premise applications from a single menu.
