Hybrid Cloud

The Challenge of Hybrid Cloud

Implementing hybrid cloud successfully is a major challenge facing IT organizations today. The goals include maturing technical capabilities while achieving better business outcomes: to gain new efficiencies, mitigate risk, accelerate time to market, and to better understand and control costs. It sounds great, and it is if it is done correctly.

Cloud-Ready Applications

Every organization has some applications already designed for the cloud or built cloud native from Day 1. These may have always been in the cloud, or they can often be containerized and moved to public cloud with minimal effort.

What About the Rest?

The real question is what to do with the rest of the application and infrastructure portfolio.

Which applications have a strong business case to move?
What level of effort is required?
What dependent infrastructure and software assets need to be considered?
Which IT investments can be rationalized?

Moving toward hybrid cloud often goes hand-in-hand with DevOps and Agile transformation.

The Advantage of Hybrid Cloud

A well-architected hybrid cloud solution can be a competitive advantage. Workloads can run across on-prem and cloud environments in a compliant, agile, and secure way, supporting rapid releases and reducing vulnerabilities.

Using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) helps maintain control, enforce standards, and reduce risk while optimizing costs. Hybrid models are especially effective for ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery while balancing capital and operational expenses.
