5 Reasons to Shift to Hybrid Cloud Today

Top 5 hybrid cloud benefits

1. Controlling costs and eliminating sticker shock

Although public cloud was once touted as a fast way to cut storage and infrastructure costs, many businesses have realised the grass isn’t always greener. As they’ve moved more of their workloads over to the public cloud, they’ve suffered from sticker shock when the real costs of public cloud are revealed.

According to Gartner, spending on public cloud services continues to rise globally. One of the major hybrid cloud benefits is that it enables organisations to send certain workloads and applications to public cloud – while keeping business-critical applications and data on-premise where it makes sense for controlling costs.

2. Powering innovation and speed to market

Every business needs to be constantly developing innovative new digital products and services to remain relevant. Speed is the name of the game when it comes to the go-to-market timeframes today’s app developers have to work with. At the same time, most organisations are still dealing with a mix of both cloud-native and cloud-enabled applications in their development pipeline.

For this reason, developers need access to hybrid cloud benefits by leveraging the secure and always-on compute power of on-premise infrastructure, combined with the scalable resources offered by the public cloud.

3. Securing workloads and managing compliance

No matter the industry, every organisation is trying to cope with the ever-growing burden of regulatory compliance. Given the significant risks of data breaches and outages, regulators have placed strict conditions on the infrastructure environments required to manage certain datasets and workloads. Organisations need a manageable way to move workloads, applications and data between public/private clouds and on-premise infrastructure to meet their compliance obligations.

This is where hybrid cloud benefits offer the secure control they need for efficiently managing compliance and maintaining oversight across environments.

4. Switching to a consumption-based model

To achieve the secure control required to manage costs, risks and compliance, the average enterprise would normally need massive capital outlays for on-premise infrastructure that they may or may not use. Because of this, control has been balanced against costs. Thankfully, consumption-based models for hybrid cloud infrastructure now allow organisations to get the best of both worlds. They can easily manage and pay for only the storage and compute resources you need, without having to pay for unnecessary and underutilised resources.

5. Reducing infrastructure management complexity

Between public/private clouds and on-premise infrastructure, IT teams have a tall task in trying to manage these dynamic new tech environments. Few businesses have the in-house skillsets and expertise to manage multiple infrastructure environments, which leads to an over-reliance on on-premise infrastructure. By leveraging hybrid cloud benefits, Orro helps simplify this complexity while providing access to expert management support.
