Hybrid Cloud Servers

Part is in the cloud, part is in your office and all parts are talking

Migrating all of your data over to the cloud is a big decision and may require plenty of organizational preparation. It also may not be possible. A more gradual or partial transition is what many companies are looking for. In other words, companies are looking to experience the scalability and price friendliness that cloud services offer for some applications yet think others still need to stay in-house. If this describes your business, a hybrid cloud may be what you’ve been looking for. Finding a one size fits all solution for every use case is near on impossible. Businesses have different sets of requirements for different types of applications, and offers the solution to meeting these needs.

How does it work?

The hybrid cloud computing environment consists of both in-house servers managed internally and outsourced (hosted) servers which are maintained by a service provider and all servers communicate as if they are all in-house. It allows your company to combine the advantages of both the cloud and your on-site server room or even a 3rd party colocation facility. It’s a holistic approach to the consumption of IT. It is about matching the right solution to the right job. Public cloud, bare metal cloud, colocation and on-site servers are combined and work together seamlessly as one platform. An example would be a cloud SAN server storing data for your on-site servers.

Hybrid Cloud minimizes trade-offs and breaks down technical barriers to get maximum benefit and improved performance from each component, thereby allowing you to focus on driving your business forward. It gives your business access to vast public cloud resources, the ability to test new capabilities and technologies swiftly, and the chance to get to market faster without huge upfront investment.

What’s in it for you?

Minimize change. You still get to utilize your own assets while benefiting from the cost effectiveness and flexibility of cloud storage. This gives them a global reach that can be operated at any time and from any part of the world.

Customize your cloud solution. Experience scalable network storage. This means you pay for storage as you go, eliminating the need to worry about purchasing too little or too much storage space.

Cut Costs. Hybrid cloud benefits are easily quantifiable. This means that you can monitor more closely patterns in revenue.
Improved Security. By combining dedicated and cloud resources, businesses can address many security and compliance concerns. This means that you can switch back and forth from public cloud to private cloud for more classified information.
