Why Hybrid Cloud Model is Ideal For Your Enterprise?

Lifting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure for the Businesses
Every organization has its infrastructure and applications developed either internally or provided by different vendors. Few applications and data generated by them are sensitive for the organizations. It becomes a challenge for organizations to opt for public or private cloud especially dealing with sensitive data.

A Private Cloud (Enterprise Cloud) is cloud computing where all IT services reside on a private IT Infrastructure. This cloud used by a single organization and managed through internal resources.

Whereas Public Cloud is an on-demand service model where all compute services are provided over the internet by different vendors. The public cloud is known as Cloud Computing.

A great Cloud Management system should provide a bridge between Private and Public clouds. Hybrid Cloud Management (HCM) plays an important role in streamlining the different cloud computing activities of Hybrid Infrastructure and its associated services.

Benefits of Hybrid Cloud Management Solution

1. Activity Efficiency: By recording all users and organizational activities like provisioning, authorizations, server operations, alerts, etc., administrators and users can monitor and search the activities. By this benefit, HCM offers transparency that can be used to assess and refine all the activities.
2. Cost Improvements: Visibility in the cloud costing is always a grey area for management. Management is not having full visibility of how cloud providers breakdown the billing statement. With HCM, the management admin can set the budget, set the policies with alerts, and limit users and groups. Reports can also be generated with the budget alerts and presented to the top management.
3. Simplicity: HCM provides simplicity in data management across private, public, and data centers. The same Template can be used and deployed from one environment to another without much user action. HCM also provides an ease of integration among the different virtual environments.
4. Automation: HCM offers a high level of automation to speed up different processes and controls. It can filter audit logs and create custom reports for the management.
5. Optimization: HCM provides active monitoring to identify opportunities for optimization. Optimization includes sizing a server accurately, trigger-based auto-scaling, and automatically spin up resources.

That is why and where Hybrid Cloud is required. A hybrid cloud is a platform/Framework via which a hybrid cloud is managed.

Why Hybrid Infrastructure Important

It is confusing for the organization to choose between a private and public cloud. Current changing IT needs are forcing Organizations to opt Hybrid Cloud approach. There are different vendors available in the market offering cloud services as per user’s customization. Since Organizations always choose different cloud models, i.e., Private and Public, Hybrid cloud always fills a gap between public and private cloud Infrastructure.

In a Private Cloud, all data of the organization sit in an on-premises data center. All data protected behind Firewall. Organizations having their own data center can take advantage of accessing data internally without worrying about security. Since Organizations own their data and that data is managed by only internal resources, security concerns are less. It does not mean that an on-premises data center does not require security practices and controls. They have all security tools and processes; since all management is done internally, the chances of a data breach are less.

In a Public Cloud, all data and applications are hosted on the provider’s data center. The biggest advantage of the Public Cloud is the reduction of time in deploying servers and services. Now organizations using the Hybrid Cloud model always see an easy management method. Following are the key reasons why management of a Hybrid Cloud is necessary.

1. Multiple Vendors- Complexity management: Every vendor has its own set of tools, processes, and rules to provide cloud services to its customers. So managing Multiple Cloud environments sometimes seems a difficult task. For example, Identity and Access Management services provided by different vendors are a complex process. Here Cloud Partners and Service Providers now provide a comprehensive and easy solution for managing the hybrid cloud.
2. Security Concerns: In a Hybrid Cloud environment, an organization keeps data in multiple clouds. Some data stored on-premises, which is sensitive in nature, and some data stored in the public cloud. Data that is residing in Public Cloud also requires security. Organizations need to understand how they can secure data in multiple cloud environments. All these concerns are addressed by Hybrid Cloud Management, where insights were provided across multiple cloud landing regions.
3. Monitoring Data and Services: Monitoring all services been provided by different cloud providers in a Hybrid Cloud environment is important. It enables an organization to keep track of all data flow, alerts, billing information, and user management. An Orchestrated tools provided by Hybrid Cloud management make life easy for the organization using multiple clouds. Partners play very important roles here to guide the organization to keep track of the management of different cloud services is used in single Organizations.

Conclusion- Future of Hybrid Cloud

In changing the IT world and dealing with dynamic workloads, a single cloud provider does not meet your requirement. It would be best if you had multiple vendors to host your services as per the needs. According to Gartner’s survey, more than 90% of organizations will adopt the hybrid cloud infrastructure by the end of 2021. Interconnection of new Technologies like Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and IoT has increased the Hybrid Cloud environment’s market. With the support and help of the right partner, your business can effectively take advantage of Hybrid Cloud Management.
