What Is Hybrid Cloud Computing?

Hybrid cloud computing is an IT infrastructure deployment model that allows applications, workloads, and data to be shared across different cloud and on-premises environments. The goal is to develop an efficient resource placement strategy and the flexibility to deploy the right workload in the right environment. Whether it’s hybrid cloud computing for small businesses or enterprise hybrid cloud systems, this distributed approach helps you meet your computing goals more effectively and save on IT costs.

Hybrid Cloud Provider Use Cases

Who Uses Hybrid Cloud?

By combining public and private cloud resources, you have greater flexibility in scaling your computing resources. Dynamic applications and unpredictable workloads can be stored in the public cloud, while mission-critical applications and services are more secure in the private cloud.

Leverage hybrid architecture by securing your business-critical workloads and sensitive customer data in phoenixNAP’s private colocation environment, while deploying less sensitive, dynamic workloads on agile cloud platforms. Maximize performance and cost efficiency by combining dedicated hardware for predictable workloads with seamless access to public cloud resources over a stable, low-latency connection.

Unpredictable Workloads

To meet sudden capacity demands, organizations often „spill over“ their workloads from one cloud environment to another. This is called cloud bursting. In a hybrid cloud scenario, companies run their steady workloads in the private cloud and use on-demand public cloud resources to handle demand spikes.

Edge and IoT

Edge computing is a type of cloud computing in which data processing happens at the location nearest to the data source. Both edge computing and hybrid cloud let you keep the data on private or public clouds that are geographically close to the IoT device or application. This helps deliver services with lower latency and greater stability.

Cloud-Native Development

Modern cloud-native applications are hybrid as some of their workloads run in the public cloud, while others are deployed in the private cloud, on-premises, or in hosted environments. Companies use the cloud for development, quality assurance, DevOps, and testing while keeping production mostly on-premises.

Disaster Recovery

Companies ensure business continuity by deploying a second DR site or leveraging cloud-based disaster recovery solutions (DRaaS). The latter gives organizations more flexibility and is more cost-efficient than building and maintaining another physical location. This is why DRaaS is often a path to cloud hybridization.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Hybrid cloud hosting is an IT environment that combines dedicated or on-prem infrastructure and/or public or private clouds. This gives organizations the flexibility to place workloads in the most appropriate environment. For example, workloads that need to scale quickly benefit from public cloud resources, whereas latency-sensitive applications work better on dedicated hardware.

Whereas a hybrid cloud combines public cloud with on-prem or colocated infrastructure, a fully cloud-based system relies solely on virtualization. A full cloud infrastructure entails lower CapEx investment, but it also offers poorer control over IT resources.

Broadly speaking, organizations that need to balance security, reliability, and scalability get the most out of hybrid cloud. Healthcare, fintech, government, and e-commerce are examples of verticals that deal with diverse workload types and that benefit the most from hybrid cloud.
