A hybrid Cloud solution allows for a mixture of both private & public cloud hosting and you can chose how you want it to be deployed to leverage your existing IT infrastructure
Below are three key benefits of moving to a hybrid cloud model if your business is not ready to move into a full cloud infrastructure
Choice:
By defining your long-term business goals you can accurately establish the mixture of on-premise and cloud solution. For SME’s this can be essential, enabling you to leverage what you have today with reduced risk and disruption to your business.
Security:
Security is number one concern for most companies when it comes to cloud hosting. Hybrid cloud models allow you to run certain applications from private cloud, public cloud or even on-premise depending on what is best for that particular application. Working closely with your cloud provider you can assess your company risk tolerance and develop a strategy to fit. A hybrid cloud model means your business can easily facilitate all compliance, data protection and privacy regulations.
Integration:
The Hybrid cloud also is very compatible with existing systems meaning fast deployment. New capabilities can be added quickly to bring innovation at a much quicker pace. Working closely with your Cloud provider to develop an integration plan is essential for a successful cloud migration.
The right mixture of private & public cloud and on-premise solutions hosted in the optimal way gets your business exactly what it needs to grow. If your business is not ready to fully move to the cloud a Hybrid cloud solution is the perfect stepping-stone. The choice around cloud is there but always make sure to consult your cloud partner for advice on what solution will work for your business.
