The accelerating demand for sustainable digital solutions has prompted organizations to re-evaluate their IT infrastructures. This study explores strategies for optimizing IT efficiency and environmental sustainability through hybrid cloud migration in the context of GreenTech innovations. By integrating on-premises resources with public and private cloud platforms, hybrid cloud architectures enable dynamic workload allocation, improved energy utilization, and reduced carbon footprints. The paper examines key drivers, challenges, and best practices for implementing hybrid cloud solutions, emphasizing their role in supporting scalable, resilient, and eco-friendly operations. Case analyses of GreenTech enterprises demonstrate measurable benefits in operational efficiency, sustainability metrics, and innovation agility, offering actionable insights for technology leaders committed to environmental stewardship.
