Hybrid Cloud

The enterprise cloud of the future – Often thought of as a bespoke cloud offering.

It seems likely that hybrid clouds will be an important element in making cloud computing more accessible and valuable for enterprises and that a hybrid cloud architecture will become increasingly important.

Hybrid cloud computing is when both public and private cloud computing resources are used, companies commonly use this model where they already have an expensive computing system in place which they are loathed to replace, or want to keep highly sensitive customer orientated applications within a private cloud.

The critical part of the hybrid model is having a robust, secure and high-performance network between the private and public cloud so that you can effectively move application and storage back and forth.

Hybrid clouds offer a greater flexibility to businesses while offering choice in terms of keeping control and security. Hybrid clouds are usually deployed by organisations willing to push part of their workloads to public clouds either for cloud bursting purposes or for projects requiring faster implementation. Because hybrid clouds vary based on company needs and structure of implementation unlike our Comtec Cloud offering, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Since hybrid environments involve both on-premise and public cloud providers, some additional infrastructure security considerations come into the picture, which are normally associated with public clouds.

Any businesses planning to deploy hybrid clouds should understand the different security needs and follow the industry best practices to mitigate any risks. Once secure, a hybrid cloud environment can help businesses transition more applications into public clouds, providing additional cost savings.
