3 Things to Consider before Moving to a Hybrid Cloud

The Hybrid Cloud has been the go-to solution to companies that want both flexibility and security. The internal control systems are what users are most attracted to when using the Hybrid Cloud since data is secured within their networks while there is not too much of a complexity aspect.

So what should you consider before jumping into the Hybrid Cloud? Here are a few things:

1. Security and Compliance

Most businesses agree that security and compliance issues are the top of their anti-cloud lists. So, it is vital for you to look for the infrastructure that will meet all of your organizations security and compliance requirements. Keep in mind, you may need to find a provider that has a policy-driven approach to where IT policies are automatically enforced.

2. High Availability

Issues may arise when a provider will ask for your applications to be reconfigured to their platform. With this process, applications run the risk of being under performed and have low availability. Some providers allow you to have services such as automated replication and high availability of your applications without any code changes.

3. Network Bandwidth and Reliability

Manual network reconfiguration is typical for deployments on a public cloud. With this, many errors or network compatibility constraints can occur. Look for a provider with a network that allows for firewall and network configurations as if they were your own data center so that you can replicate the network your applications need for operation.
