Business continuity is critical today and enterprises need it now than ever before. To maintain these critical applications enterprises usually use the industry behemoths such as SAP and EPOS and trust them with critical applications over the cloud. The public cloud also brings in access to applications such as the email, file servers, and VoIP.
With so many networks, a plethora of applications and a seamless integration of these applications and networks into the business functions, how do you keep track of performance? How do you ensure sustainability and availability? The Hybrid Cloud Computing model promises to be a life saver here.
As far as Hybrid Cloud Computing is concerned, it usually involves a series of chosen web technologies to run in synchronisation by connected cloud servers and physical dedicated servers, for instance. If you visual, we found this info graphic which should explain hybrid cloud computing graphically.
According to searchcomputing.com, a Hybrid Cloud is defined as “...the amalgamation of a private cloud and at least one public cloud.” This typically happens through the strategic partnership of a public cloud vendor with a private cloud one or vice versa.
Enterprises use hybrid cloud computing for enhanced efficiency, superior privacy management, streamlined data protection, and for maximum security. For instance, a company could be using Amazon’s Simple Storage Service ( Amazon S3) to store and archive data (maybe back-ups or history) but use private dedicated storage servers to store, manage, and handle sensitive data pertaining to operations or relating to customers or finances.
An article on Computer World stresses on how hybrid cloud computing gets companies the benefits of both the worlds (public and private clouds). As Ellen Rubin posts on Cloud Switch about the benefits of Hybrid cloud computing , enterprises or businesses can use the best of either of the two to achieve business needs. You can allocate application handling to either of the clouds to achieve maximum efficiency at the least expense of computing prowess, and finally move files/data/applications across seamlessly as needed.
