Companies are choosing hybrid cloud. Recent data shows that 40 percent of organizations deployed some form of hybrid cloud in 2018, while the increasing heterogeneity of cloud offerings has created a critical need for hybrid cloud management experts.
The expanding market has also broadened its potential user base — now, hybrid cloud solutions for SMEs are keeping pace with large corporate enterprise offerings as smaller organizations find success in the cloud.
Considering hybrid cloud? Know what you’re getting into.
Simply put, hybrid clouds are the combination of public and private cloud services (plus all of the necessary infrastructure) designed to meet specific business needs. In practice, this means using each cloud where it excels. Companies might keep critical customer data on private cloud stacks but use public cloud services for on-demand e-commerce scalability and transaction throughput.
When implemented properly, hybrid cloud architecture links the control of private clouds with the commercial viability of public solutions.
For small businesses, hybrid clouds offer multiple benefits.
First is cost control. While large-scale public offerings often appear cheaper than private clouds, it’s easy to lose track of cloud usage and overspend each month, so the opposite becomes true. Completely private architecture, meanwhile, comes with a substantial price tag. Hybrid meets in the middle, helping small businesses ensure their IT spend doesn’t break tight budgets.
There’s now considerable pressure for companies to move into the cloud as quickly as possible. But for many small businesses, existing legacy infrastructure makes this kind of all-or-nothing transition impossible. Hybrid cloud solutions allow organizations to make the move on their schedule rather than trying to complete cloud migration in a single step.
The result is a more measured approach to migration that reduces the potential for accidental data loss or application incompatibility.
If you’re a small business, chances are you don’t have an experienced IT team at your disposal. It makes sense. Why pay for full-time staff to handle technical issues when most of your services and applications are handled off-site? When it comes to choosing the cloud, however, this creates a challenge for smaller companies — how do they design, deploy and manage complex cloud solutions without in-house expertise?
Here, choosing the right help makes all the difference. Experienced cloud hosting providers work to understand business needs, create clear implementation plans and support small businesses through all stages of hybrid cloud deployment, integration and evolution.
