Same Benefits of Hybrid SharePoint Solution?

SharePoint Business to Business Collaboration: Extranet for Partners with Office 365

“on-premises extranet site involves complex configuration to establish security measures and governance, including granting access inside the corporate firewall, and expensive initial and on-going cost….SharePoint Online, partners connect directly to a members-only site in Office 365, without access to the corporate on-premises environment or any other Office 365 site. Office 365 Extranet sites can be accessed anywhere…”

SharePoint hybrid sites and search

“A hybrid environment can help your company get started in the cloud, taking a first step to explore the cloud functionality at own your pace. It also enables enterprise users to be connected from almost anywhere to the resources and content they need… SharePoint hybrid features, you can consolidate search results between SharePoint Server and Office 365, consolidate user profiles in Office 365, and offload your users’ personal storage to the cloud…”
