Hybrid Cloud Is The Best Option?

Hybrid Cloud is not a household term yet. It’s simply a combination of the Private Cloud and Public Cloud. Hybrid Cloud enables IT to utilize on-premise and cloud based infrastructure seamlessly for cost reduction, bursting, disaster recovery and other use cases. The key to Hybrid Cloud acceptance in the marketplace is providing this “seamless” capability for all applications, including those production applications that are core to the business.

Types of cloud computing

• Public Cloud: In Public Cloud the computing infrastructure is hosted by the cloud vendor at the vendor’s premises. The customer has no visibility and control over where the computing infrastructure is hosted. The computing infrastructure is shared between any organizations.
• Private Cloud: The computing infrastructure is dedicated to a particular organization and not shared with other organizations. Private Clouds are more expensive and more secure when compared to Public Clouds. Private Cloud is what used to be called your company network. It may be accessed whilst inside the firewall, or outside via some form of secure VPN. But it is a resource controlled and consumed by your internal IT department.
• Hybrid Cloud: Organizations may host critical applications on Private Clouds and applications with relatively less security concerns on the Public Cloud. The usage of both Private and Public Clouds together is called Hybrid Cloud. A related term is Cloud Bursting. In Cloud Bursting organization use their own computing infrastructure for normal usage, but access the cloud using services like Salesforce cloud computing for high/peak load requirements. This ensures that a sudden increase in computing requirement is handled gracefully.

Hybrid Cloud Is The Best Option?

The Public Cloud brings Simplicity while the Private Cloud means better Privacy, but Hybrid Cloud combines the best of both worlds: Keep all important corporate data secure behind some Private Cloud-based service on stored securely using an array of on-premise servers, while access to that data remains tightly controlled and accessed through a combination of SaaS and DBaaS (Cloud database) services. This provides the best of both worlds: mobile and web-based access to corporate applications with high usability, while important data remains secure.

The Future?

Gartner Identifies Hybrid Cloud as one of the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2014“Bringing together personal clouds and external private cloud services is an imperative. Enterprises should design private cloud services with a hybrid future in mind and make surefuture integration/interoperability is possible.”
