Hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and public cloud services. It gives businesses flexibility to move workloads between private and public clouds as needs change. Hybrid cloud offers more options than solely using public or private clouds. It allows choosing where to deploy applications and tools based on timeliness and resources. Hybrid cloud also lets organizations continue using existing private infrastructure while exploring public cloud. It provides a way to securely store sensitive data on-premises while putting less important data in public cloud.
5 BENEFITS OF HYBRID CLOUD
- 1. 5 BENEFITS OF HYBRID CLOUD
- 2. Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment which uses a mix of on- premises, private cloud and public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. By allowing workloads to move between private and public clouds as computing needs and costs change, hybrid cloud gives businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment options.
- 4. I were to sum up in a single word why hybrid clouds have an advantage over public and private architectures, that word would be "options." While public clouds are great in many situations, they're not perfect for every situation. The same holds true for private clouds. If you had the ability to pick and choose where you placed enterprise resources, that would be great, right? That's precisely what hybrid clouds offer.
- 6. Depending on resources in the private cloud, and with whom you've partnered on the public cloud side, you have the ability to choose to deploy new applications and tools in either. If time is of the essence, one cloud model likely will be faster than the other. This gives IT a great amount of control over deployment when it comes to new IT projects that creep out of the woodwork unexpectedly.
- 8. If you maintain a private data center -- or have equipment hosted in colocation -- the idea of throwing it all away while moving to a strict public cloud model is oftentimes out of the question. With a hybrid cloud model you can still utilize your existing private infrastructure while exploring ways to leverage the public cloud. Over time, your IT admins will begin to work out what resources are better situated in-house vs. in the cloud.
- 10. The biggest sticking point regarding public cloud offerings is the assumption that storing applications and data in the cloud is not as secure as maintaining it within a secure enterprise perimeter. While this may or may not be a valid assumption, it does cause some IT decision makers to be apprehensive about public cloud adoption. If you're in this situation, a hybrid approach has advantages in that you can still store sensitive data and intellectual property within your internally managed private cloud, while allowing less-important applications and data to live in a public cloud setting.
- 12. One problem surrounding cloud applications hosted in public data centres is that there are limited ways to access that data. In most cases, the Internet is used, which is nearly impossible to regulate in terms of network latency. Many applications are latency sensitive (voice and video streams are tops on that list). Those apps are better suited to private environments where connectivity can be controlled using quality of service (QoS). With a hybrid architecture, that option is available.
