Hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and public cloud services. It gives businesses flexibility to move workloads between private and public clouds as needs change. Hybrid cloud offers more options than solely using public or private clouds. It allows choosing where to deploy applications and tools based on timeliness and resources. Hybrid cloud also lets organizations continue using existing private infrastructure while exploring public cloud. It provides a way to securely store sensitive data on-premises while putting less important data in public cloud.

1. 5 BENEFITS OF HYBRID CLOUD

2. Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing
environment which uses a mix of on-
premises, private cloud and public cloud
services with orchestration between the two
platforms. By allowing workloads to move
between private and public clouds as
computing needs and costs change, hybrid
cloud gives businesses greater flexibility
and more data deployment options.

4. I were to sum up in a single word why hybrid
clouds have an advantage over public and
private architectures, that word would be
"options." While public clouds are great in
many situations, they're not perfect for every
situation. The same holds true for private
clouds. If you had the ability to pick and
choose where you placed enterprise
resources, that would be great, right? That's
precisely what hybrid clouds offer.

6. Depending on resources in the private cloud,
and with whom you've partnered on the
public cloud side, you have the ability to
choose to deploy new applications and tools
in either. If time is of the essence, one cloud
model likely will be faster than the other. This
gives IT a great amount of control over
deployment when it comes to new IT projects
that creep out of the woodwork unexpectedly.

8. If you maintain a private data center -- or
have equipment hosted in colocation -- the
idea of throwing it all away while moving to a
strict public cloud model is oftentimes out of
the question. With a hybrid cloud model you
can still utilize your existing private
infrastructure while exploring ways to
leverage the public cloud. Over time, your IT
admins will begin to work out what resources
are better situated in-house vs. in the cloud.

10. The biggest sticking point regarding public cloud
offerings is the assumption that storing
applications and data in the cloud is not as secure
as maintaining it within a secure enterprise
perimeter. While this may or may not be a valid
assumption, it does cause some IT decision
makers to be apprehensive about public cloud
adoption. If you're in this situation, a hybrid
approach has advantages in that you can still
store sensitive data and intellectual property
within your internally managed private cloud,
while allowing less-important applications and
data to live in a public cloud setting.

12. One problem surrounding cloud applications
hosted in public data centres is that there are
limited ways to access that data. In most cases,
the Internet is used, which is nearly impossible
to regulate in terms of network latency. Many
applications are latency sensitive (voice and
video streams are tops on that list). Those apps
are better suited to private environments where
connectivity can be controlled using quality of
service (QoS). With a hybrid architecture, that
option is available.
