Overview
Understanding Hybrid Cloud
What is Hybrid Cloud?
A Hybrid Cloud combines both private and public cloud models, integrating on-premises IT resources managed by the company with external resources provided by a third-party provider. This approach enables businesses to leverage the benefits of both public and private cloud environments, offering a flexible and balanced solution for their computing needs.
Advantages of Hybrid Cloud
Why Choose a Hybrid Cloud?
Hybrid cloud computing offers the best of both worlds by merging the strengths of public and private clouds. Companies can benefit from the security and control of a private cloud while also taking advantage of the flexibility and cost transparency of the public cloud. Surveys show that while many companies remain cautious about fully adopting public cloud solutions, their support for public cloud computing is growing. The hybrid approach allows businesses to achieve an ideal balance between cost savings, IT flexibility, and enhanced security.
Building or Selecting Your Hybrid Cloud Structure
Custom vs. Pre-Configured Hybrid Cloud
For many organizations, a hybrid cloud structure is the optimal solution, providing cost efficiency and increased flexibility. Businesses can choose between building their own custom hybrid cloud architecture or opting for a pre-configured hybrid structure. Each option has its advantages and trade-offs.
Custom Hybrid Structure: More cost-effective but requires more time and effort to implement.
Pre-Configured Hybrid Structure: Quicker to deploy, though it may come at a higher cost.
The Hybrid Core Module
The Hybrid Core Module is designed for companies that own their own hardware and want to manage it using gridscale software. This module allows you to utilize your existing hardware to run cloud computing workloads efficiently. Furthermore, it offers the option to integrate your hardware as a new location within the gridscale ecosystem, making it available for other users to rent for their workloads.
The Hybrid Core quickly transforms your hardware and IT infrastructure into a modern gridscale cloud, with minimal setup time. The software stack can be installed at any physical location and configured to operate as a private, public, or hybrid cloud, depending on your needs. This setup can extend beyond your company’s on-premises data center to include additional computing resources in third-party locations or edge data centers across geographically distributed networks. The Hybrid Core is compatible with any standard hardware in your data center.
