Many organizations are now making a move to the cloud via the Office 365 platform. However, not all on-premises workloads can be migrated to the cloud for many reasons, such as business, technology, and infrastructure constraints. The concept of “hybrid” plays an important role by bringing together the best features of both worlds. We tried to bring this perspective to our readers through this book. We want to combine business needs and technical skills to create solutions that truly impact businesses. You can be the judge of how well that vision has been reached.
The primary goal in the development of this book is to create an educative book that emphasizes the core concepts of hybrid environments in SharePoint Server 2019. This book explains SharePoint hybrid concepts easily. This book contains many examples to show the working of a particular hybrid scenario. This book will help you learn the basic and advanced concepts of SharePoint hybrid environments.
Cloud technology is ever-growing and there will be more hybrid updates and capabilities released in the future. After you finish reading this book, the insight you have regarding SharePoint hybrid will enable you to set a foundation for future updates and learnings.
Who This Book Is For
For those individuals, professionals, and organizations who have started their journey to the cloud, this book will serve as a stepping stone on your way to successful mastery of a hybrid implementation. This book will be a guide for those tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining hybrid environments with SharePoint Server 2019 for their organization. This book assumes some working knowledge of a previous release of SharePoint Server, such as SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint 2016.
How This Book Is Organized
This book is divided into 20 chapters, and it provides a detailed description of the core concepts of hybrid SharePoint. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the appropriate foundational concepts, followed by a practical implementation to reinforce the explanation. A brief description of each chapter follows.

If not for the initiative and zeal of my co-author, Miss Smita Nachan, this book would have not progressed beyond just an idea and a notion.
I would like to thank everyone at Apress for giving us this opportunity to publish our book.
I would like to thank my parents for their endless support and for helping us in numerous ways. I would also like to thank my loving and caring wife, Mrs. Sarika Nachan, and my dear son, Aditya, who supported and encouraged me despite all the time it took me away from them. Each of them should get equal credit for bringing this book to fruition.

The making of the book was a beautiful journey that I am glad I undertook. The journey spanned a few months, but the experience will last a lifetime.
I am extremely grateful to my parents, Mrs. Archana Sadanand Nachan and Mr. Sadanand Govind Nachan, for their love, prayers, caring, and for preparing me for my future. My completion of this book could not have been accomplished without the support of my family.
