Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid Cloud is an IT architecture that connects private cloud, public cloud and on-premises infrastructure. This allows flexible distribution of data and applications across multiple environments. This approach combines the scalability and cost efficiency of the public cloud with the control, security, and compliance advantages of private infrastructure. Hybrid Cloud thus offers the best of two worlds. In a Hybrid Cloud infrastructure, organizations can run sensitive or mission-critical applications locally, while less critical or easily scalable workloads are hosted in the public cloud.

Hybrid Cloud offers numerous advantages, with flexibility being perhaps the most important. Workloads can be easily moved or extended to the most appropriate environment based on performance needs, cost, or compliance requirements. In addition, capacity is easily scalable, allowing peak load to be handled effortlessly without additional hardware investments. Connectivity is fundamental to a successful Hybrid Cloud strategy. The Worldstream Elastic Network (WEN) with more than 10Tbps capacity is central to facilitating this connectivity. With advanced solutions based on technologies such as EVPN and VxLAN, there is a solution for every requirement. In addition, infrastructure and applications can be centrally managed from a single environment, with uniform policies and monitoring – making management more comprehensive and efficient. Through smart workload distribution, organizations can save costs, for example by accommodating development and test environments in the cloud.
