    benefits of hybrid cloud

    For the enterprises, who are still in a dilemma of whether to or not to adopt cloud, going hybrid is the best approach. They may find risks in moving entire application to cloud all at once, hence they can start with moving some application to the cloud, and hybrid cloud provides that flexibility to them.

    It takes advantages of dedicated servers and virtualization by making use of existing applications, and then you can gradually move the right elements to the cloud.

  2. Reduced TCO (Total cost of Ownership)

    • With hybrid cloud in, bid goodbye to heavy infrastructure requirements.

    • By using pay-as-you-go facility, you can have control over your monthly IT costs.

    • Arranging cloud backups instead of on premise backup will also help you cut cost.

  3. Disk-to-disk-to-cloud (D2D2C) backup

    Under D2D2C approach of hybrid cloud, initially the data is saved on local storage and then eventually transferred to a third party cloud storage service provider. Thus, eliminating the process of internet based data backup in which physical desk is sent to the backup provider. Businesses can focus more on their objectives if they feel that their data is safe.

  4. Leveraging benefits of both the worlds

    By fusing the qualities of Private and Public cloud, enterprises can leverage best of both the worlds. They can adopt cloud with their existing IT resources as well. With hybrid cloud the ball is in their court, they can decide what data and application can be moved to cloud. Most commonly, businesses prefer to keep sensitive information on-premises and move rest on cloud.
