Part of your data in the cloud, part 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 still think others still need to stay in-house. If this describes your business, a hybrid cloud may be what you’ve been looking for.
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. A hybrid cloud solution allows your company to combine the advantages of both the cloud and your on-site server room.
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.
Customize your cloud solution. Experience scalable network storage. Pay for storage as you go, eliminating the need to worry about purchasing too little or too much storage space.
Increase your agility. You’re not closed off to just in-house or shared cloud. You can seamlessly move between the two to produce synergistic results.
