Hybrid cloud deployments have become an important part of many businesses’ IT infrastructures. Hybrid cloud deployments minimize privacy and control issues while maximizing the benefits of public cloud environments. Hybrid clouds are a popular solution for businesses that want to adopt a customizable solution to their IT needs.
What is hybrid cloud?
Hybrid cloud refers to a combination of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services. While the public cloud offers flexibility and scalability, the private cloud offers security – the best of both worlds. The primary benefit of a hybrid cloud is agility, allowing workloads and data to move between private and public clouds in a flexible way.
A hybrid cloud solution allows businesses to easily customize resource placement based on workloads and applications. This means that some workloads can remain on-premises, while others run in the cloud. A hybrid cloud infrastructure offers the flexibility and scalability of the cloud while enabling businesses to maintain on-premises tools for mission-critical applications — allowing businesses to add resources and make changes to accommodate higher demand quickly.
Benefits of Hybrid Cloud
- Control
Businesses can customize the private end of their hybrid cloud model to their specific needs and adjust them accordingly as they see fit. The combination of both the public and private cloud allows businesses to benefit from both environments. Resources can be allocated to either private or public cloud storage depending on where, when, and how they are needed and easily scaled up and down as needs change.
- Security
Security remains an ongoing challenge for any business using the public cloud. With a hybrid cloud model, however, businesses can leverage the security of a private cloud with the power and services of a public cloud. A hybrid cloud solution allows flexibility to decide which application and services can remain in the public cloud and which should be private.
- Cost
Hybrid cloud has the benefit of being cost-effective. You pay for the public cloud portion of your infrastructure only when it is needed. With a hybrid cloud, critical data is always retained in the private cloud, making it significantly easier to switch from one public provider to another. This can offer significant cost savings over the long run.
