If a company
expands rapidly
then a hybrid setup
can easily cater for the company’s needs and demands; as the
technology is in place and ready to be utilised. However, that
can also have a costly negative effect should the company’s
growth decline.
EXPANSION AND GROWTH
A lot of the time a
hybrid setup calls for
a company’s unique
software and apps development, in order to access all the
cloud service layers. This in turn can lead to an in-house
development team, programming bespoke applications for the
company workforce.
IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
As a company is using
both cloud models as
well as an in-house
approach, it’s able to make some cost savings by not having to
update its hardware as frequently. You can utilise the power
of a private cloud and the storage of a public cloud whilst still
keeping your legacy hardware in use.
USE LEGACY HARDWARE
Although a hybrid cloud
setup can be quite costly,
there’s usually a far better
disaster recovery plan factored into that initial expenditure.
Your in-house servers can be backed up to the private cloud
and non-sensitive data can be present in the public cloud,
ensuring that your data is always recoverable should it need
to be.
DISASTER RECOVERY
A hybrid cloud setup
joins all the aspects
of the company’s
technology: in-house, private and public clouds. A remote
worker therefore is able to get to any layer of the technology, or
to just one aspect of it should they need to. Increased firewall
access also bolsters security.
GREATER ACCESSIBILITY
Having your apps and
data in-house means
you’re able to call
them up faster than when they’re stored in a cloud. A hybrid
setup usually has better network support and uses faster,
higher performing hardware to get the most from the in-house
and cloud layers.
