Thinking about leaping to cloud computing but maybe not all at once? Hybrid cloud hosting is for organizations that are now prepared to deploy some mission-critical applications in the cloud – but not their entire IT.
Although the predominant cloud implementation today is private cloud, most organizations find hybrid clouds appealing because it gives them the option to blend.
Why choose a hybrid cloud? Hybrid clouds are for those clients who are now ready to blend into a single solution some combination of their cloud environment and traditional in-house or managed hosting services. In fact, a majority of AIS Network’s cloud computing clients are on this track for primarily financial reasons. They are either seeking to reduce OpEx, reduce CapEx and/or improve service quality.
In this era when IT budgets are tight and resources are limited, all organizations are striving to do more with less and that includes moving to the cloud to achieve cost savings. Because of this, IT heterogeneity issues will be something that enterprises will be dealing with for the next several years—mostly, issues associated with building and maintaining a hybrid environment.
In other words, don’t think of the cloud as “monolithic.” Many IT departments will opt to set up a combination of applications deployed:
- on-premise,
- in a private cloud,
- in the public cloud, and
- as SaaS systems.
AISN Helps You Build a Hybrid Cloud
How should your hybrid cloud environment be set up? What is the optimal environment for your organization? Where do considerations such as placement, software profile, policies, workload requirements and costs fit in? What about license mobility?
Whether organizations choose to blend an AISN Public Cloud model with an AISN Private Cloud model or use on-premise solutions with AISN Cloud solutions, the complexity of the architecture will undoubtedly pose challenges when IT departments move forward to integrate hybrid applications. For instance, full cloud migration raises key concerns, namely:
- Security,
- Migration costs,
- Management,
- Governance, and
- Legacy software licensing.
These are all important considerations in building a hybrid cloud environment, and that’s where AISN’s expertise in cloud hosting becomes most beneficial. AISN enables its clients’ migration to internal, external and hybrid cloud environments by helping support them in the planning process.
