Why Businesses Are Choosing Hybrid Cloud

Why Businesses AreChoosing Hybrid Cloud
2

• Whatever business sector you work in, its a safe
  bet by now youve heard of the cloud. In just a
  few years, the cloud has gone from a small part
  of IT operations and strategies to a central
  component of businesses both big and small, with
  CIOs now often planning their entire tech
  department around the cloud strategy their
  company adopts.

But as much as the cloud has become the talk of
the business world, many business owners and
managers still dont fully understand how it
works. More specifically, many people dont
understand that there are different types of
cloud-based applications and programs, each with
their own benefits and drawbacks.

In a pure Public Cloud setup, your applications
and key business data they rely on are stored in
the cloud vendors servers. Clients access
information by getting online and logging into
these applications running elsewhere. In a
Private Cloud setup, the business builds and
operates its own private cloud server, which no
other businesses or entities can access.
Applications and business data are stored
internally behind your firewall.

• As the name implies, Hybrid Cloud is a
  combination. Applications may reside on the cloud
  vendors servers but they access data stored
  internally behind the firewall.
• Hybrid Cloud allows businesses to take advantage
  of the strengths of both kinds of cloud
  environments, and to mix and match public and
  private cloud services to maximize security,
  convenience, and cost.

• For businesses that need the speed and
  convenience of public clouds for some of their
  operations, and the security and customizability
  that private clouds provide for others, a hybrid
  cloud setup is the perfect solution. It allows
  businesses to maintain sensitive information on
  their legacy systems, while also taking advantage
  of the agility offered by the cloud. The cloud
  enables quicker interactions among employees,
  customers, and vendors, with frevvos electronic

• Transferring business-critical documents and
  information to the cloud can be a time-consuming
  and complicated process. For some businesses,
  security and regulatory concerns can make it even
  more difficult. A hybrid cloud allows businesses
  to move only select applications and files to
  public spheres, while keeping sensitive and
  regulated data secure in a private environment.

8

• Change happens fast in the business world, and
  companies need their critical systems and
  technology to be able to change just as quickly.
  With a hybrid cloud environment, businesses can
  easily and quickly move files, programs, and any
  other information from the cloud to a private
  environment, and vice versa. This allows them to
  adapt to changes in workload, customer demand,
  and other variables swiftly and efficiently.

9

• According to recent studies, more and more
  businesses will be utilizing the hybrid cloud.
  Current numbers show that 82 of enterprises use
  a multi-cloud strategy (an increase of 9 over
  2014), and that 55 of that number use hybrid
  clouds.1 By the end of 2015, over 65 of IT
  organizations will have committed themselves to
  hybrid cloud technologies.2
