Benefits of the Hybrid Cloud

Posted on: September 4th, 2019 by Leart Aliu

A hybrid cloud includes a variety of public and private options with multiple providers that can be managed as one all while not having to throw away existing tech or purchase new infrastructure.

 

For companies that want to maximize the benefits of both public and private cloud environments, the hybrid cloud offers many advantages for organizations.

 

1. Control

Hybrid cloud affords you the ability to design a cloud computing approach that fits specific storage, compute and workload needs while retaining control of critical operations and other infrastructure.

 

2. Flexibility

Run workloads and applications where it makes most sense while sensitive data and low latency applications remain in-house.

 

3. Cost Savings

Cloud scalability allows for peak bursting and temporary usage of compute/storage vs hardware investment. In the long run, it can significantly lower IT costs as opposed to using a private cloud. If you’re thinking of using a public cloud, keep in mind the cost of migrating assets from one cloud provider to another which is another reason why the hybrid cloud is an attractive alternative as it stores critical data in it’s private portion.
