Are you using the same basic solution as when you first started using the cloud?
While it is wise to be skeptical of new developments with a given technology, at a certain point, you’ll start missing out. The cloud is one of the biggest technological industries worldwide — according to IDC, we’re partway through a 77% growth trend in the Canadian cloud market.
However, it’s important to note that “the cloud” doesn’t just mean one thing. There are public cloud solutions, private cloud solutions, and even hybrid cloud solutions, the last of which is worth exploring.
The fact is that 85% of Canadian organizations have adopted some sort of multi-cloud solution. As the cloud has become a staple of the business world, companies have steadily migrated towards the best version of it. That’s led them to hybrid cloud computing.
Hybrid clouds are a combination of private and public clouds. In private clouds, data and applications that require tighter controls are hosted either internally or privately in an off-site facility. Meanwhile, public clouds are managed externally by third-party providers with the express purpose of reducing a company’s IT infrastructure.
Using a hybrid cloud gives you the freedom to choose which applications and resources you want to keep in the data center and which ones you want to store in the cloud. This flexibility is critical for management, cybersecurity, and compliance, along with the many other benefits offered by the cloud.
Let’s start by looking at all the key benefits offered by the cloud in general:
There are three significant advantages of hybrid cloud environments.
The main takeaway is that with a hybrid cloud solution you have control and flexibility over where your data exists. You can choose which data and systems stay on-premise and which move to the cloud. A hybrid cloud is a good fit for organizations that have a skilled IT staff who want maximum control, as well as large organizations looking to begin a move to the cloud.
