Flexibility and control

Hybrid Cloud is an IT infrastructure design that integrates a company’s key IT resources regardless of where they are hosted. With Hybrid Cloud, you can store your data and run your applications across multiple environments. Your Hybrid Cloud environment helps you provision, scale, and centrally manage your compute resources.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cloud solutions

  • Process data locally

    Certain data processing tasks, such as big data analytics or those requiring low-latency responses, must be done on-premises due to size, bandwidth constraints, or regulatory compliance. With a Hybrid Cloud model, you can perform these tasks in your local Data Centre, while periodically backing up or archiving the data to a Public Cloud. This approach ensures that sensitive data stays within your controlled environment while leveraging the Cloud for cost-effective storage and scalability when needed.

  • Enhanced business continuity

    Uninterrupted operations are essential for maintaining customer satisfaction and business success. A Hybrid Cloud architecture ensures business continuity by reducing downtime and improving resilience. In the event of maintenance or unexpected issues within your Private Cloud, workloads can be shifted to the Public Cloud, ensuring that critical applications remain operational. This contingency capability not only minimises disruptions but also enhances user experience by keeping services available during disruptions.

  • Increased development agility

    A Hybrid Cloud model enables faster time-to-market for new products and services by offering the flexibility to customise your infrastructure. You can experiment with new ideas, test innovative applications, and iterate more rapidly, all while maintaining a stable production environment. With the ability to scale development resources as needed, teams can be more confident in their testing and development processes, accelerating innovation.

  • Optimised resource utilisation

    Hybrid Cloud environments enable you to optimise resource allocation by running day-to-day operations on your Private Cloud while using the Public Cloud for peak-demand workloads. This allows businesses to take advantage of the security and control of a Private Cloud for sensitive data and applications, and the expansive scalability and cost-efficiency of the Public Cloud when demand surges.

  • Greater scalability

    As your business grows, your IT infrastructure must scale to support increasing demands. Hybrid Cloud provides the perfect solution, allowing you to seamlessly scale your compute resources across both Private and Public Cloud environments. This flexibility ensures that you can efficiently handle fluctuating workloads, avoid overprovisioning, and only pay for the resources you actually use, making scalability both agile and cost-effective.

  • Enhanced security and compliance

    Hybrid Cloud hosting offers robust security and compliance options, allowing you to keep sensitive data within your Private Cloud while leveraging the Public Cloud for less critical workloads. This model enables businesses to meet regulatory requirements such as data residency, GDPR, and other compliance standards, while benefiting from the Public Cloud’s security features. This flexibility helps businesses ensure that they are both compliant and secure without compromising performance or scalability.
