The Hybrid Cloud Advantage

The idea behind hybrid cloud solutions is simple: Combine your on-premise infrastructure or private cloud with public cloud services to maximize IT utility. 

Why? Because private and public clouds excel in different areas — while private offerings provide superior control and security, public clouds are often easier to scale-up on demand and may come with lower costs. While debate rages over which cloud is “best,” the truth is that most business don’t fall into one camp or the other. Some critical data may require private cloud protections, while other apps are better suited to the public cloud.

Hybrid cloud services let your company find a middle ground that works best for your IT environment instead of forcing an either/or choice that limits overall utility.

Who Needs Hybrid Cloud Hosting?

Going hybrid is one of the simplest ways to move to the cloud gradually and modernize your IT environments at the same time. The result is hybrid solutions offer advantages to all businesses regardless of size, industry or market vertical. 

Need to secure critical data? Combine local stacks with private cloud controls. Require an e-commerce backbone that scales up on demand? Leverage our public cloud servers  to provide the resources you need, when you need them. Want to keep existing hardware but don’t have the space? Our colocation services let you leverage best-in-class physical security and network connectivity without compromising server control.

Your Infrastructure in Harmony 

Infrastructure decisions are influenced by a complex range of technical and business considerations — hosted dedicated servers, on-premises hardware, colocated servers, private clouds and public clouds offer specific business and infrastructure solutions.

The result? Companies are reluctant to abandon the local infrastructure they’ve spent so much time and effort creating, even to access potential cloud benefits. Hybrid cloud hosting makes it possible to combine what you have with what you want to harmonize infrastructure availability and security. Consider the case of high-demand, public-facing applications that store critical consumer information. With Steadfast, you’ve got access to scalable public clouds to handle application demand and secure private options to safeguard customer data.

Other key benefits of hybrid hosting solutions include:

• Easy Migration — Move what you want, when you want, where you want with hybrid clouds. Instead of trying to tackle full-scale cloud migration in one attempt, use our VMware servers and customized cloud options to migrate on your own terms.
• Cost Management — Full private clouds can be expensive; public models offer seeming cost savings but can create budget blowback thanks to increasing cloud sprawl. Hybrid provides a balance: Pay more where you need private protection and keep close tabs on public cloud consumption.

We've Got This

Steadfast Simplicity Clouds can be built as hybrid environments that empower organizations to deploy the “right” infrastructure, and if necessary, gain best of both worlds — put your high-availability applications in our scalable public cloud and leave your confidential data storage in our secure private cloud or dedicated VMware servers, on-site or colocated within one of our world-class data centers.
