8. AWS Hybrid Cloud Capabilities
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc. 8
• AWS provides a wide variety of hybrid use cases

9. 2016 Hybrid Cloud Adoption
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc. 9
• 82% of enterprises
have a hybrid cloud
strategy in place for
2016.

11. 1. Benefits and Use Cases
© 2016 SoftNAS, Inc.

12. • Elastic Scaling
– Allocate resources through one interface
– Data can be moved to the public cloud as needed to save on costs and remove the need
to build new data centers
• Backup & Archiving
– Create real-time backups in the public cloud
• Business Applications
– Run your most important applications on your private cloud
– Older applications with less use can be run on public clouds at a lower cost
– Develop new apps on the public cloud at a reduced cost and move them to your private
cloud when ready for deployment
– IT remains in control of when and where applications are deployed

21. DetermineWhat
RemainsOn-Premise
Cost Savings Security Manage New Environments
with Familiar Processes
• Mission critical
environments are NOT
good choices for the
HybridCloud.
• Seasonal workloads are a
nice fit for the scalability
that a Public Cloud
provides, as well as non-
essential workloads, and
applications with a short
shelf life.
• Every future CapEx
expenditure for hardware
should be scrutinized to
see if a Public or Hybrid
Cloud Solution would help
reduce or eliminate those
costs.
• Create individual
AWS Identity and
Access Management
(IAM) user accounts
so that each user
managing AWS has
their own security
credentials
• Building out tools and
workflows for cloud-based
resources is time consuming.
Maximize ROI with solutions
that isolate and automate on-
premise and cloud-based
platforms to a single, unified
environment that is easy to use.
