Hybrid cloud computing - the practice of combining private and public cloud networks to best meet your needs - is becoming increasingly common and important to modern enterprises.
A study conducted by Insights for Professionals identified that nearly two-thirds (64%) of CIOs operate a hybrid cloud model.
This is a strategy that can deliver many benefits, including:
- The flexibility to access applications from various providers, depending on your needs
- Greater control over where your vital tools and data sit within your network, enabling improved privacy and compliance
- Easier scaling of capacity without having to expand on-site data centers
- Avoiding vendor lock-in
To ensure you're getting maximum value from a hybrid cloud setup, however, you need to be aware of the challenges associated with it, particularly when it comes to ensuring a strong, reliable connection between private and public networks.
