You all know the big advantages of hybrid cloud

1. Cost control

Enterprise development must take a cautious approach to the workloads HPE Cloud and services running in its private cloud.

The private cloud is deployed in the data center infrastructure and is controlled and operated by the enterprise. Deployment and maintenance require a lot of funds, equipment, and personnel. Although the private cloud can analyze and configure local resources in a cloud-like manner, the private cloud infrastructure is still limited. Enterprises can reduce costs by connecting private and public clouds. This connection helps alleviate peak demand and utilize public cloud resources when local demand increases. Public clouds are suitable for temporary, experimental, or public workloads that companies generally don't want to deploy, set up, and manage on-premises. At the same time, companies can use their limited private cloud resources for mission-critical workloads - or workloads with the lowest operating costs.

The cost advantage of hybrid cloud also includes explicit cost overhead. Hybrid cloud technology can easily divide its consumption into capital cost and operating cost. Companies can also use tools to monitor cloud computing usage and obtain detailed reports on usage (and cloud service costs) by department and workload.

2. Flexibility

Flexibility is the core premise of cloud computing. Private cloud brings configuration and expansion flexibility to enterprise development, but the number of available resource management in the data center through physical experiments is still limited. In contrast, the public cloud enables users to immediately deploy computing and storage instance analysis and other related legal services, and there is no social resource restriction. However, when local workloads are migrated to the public cloud, we usually need to learn some migration preparation teaching work.

Another major development advantage of hybrid cloud is consistency. If there is no instance data type and service provided by a private cloud similar to that of a public cloud, companies can more easily create, transfer, and expand their workloads and resources. This consistency of behavior enables enterprise management to configure and use private cloud resources when appropriate and cost-effective in production, and then easily utilize social public cloud resources when necessary.

3. Security

Security is the core concern of many enterprise IT teams-data and the workloads that access it are key business assets. An important security issue in public clouds is that the infrastructure is a proprietary attribute of the provider. Users cannot view or control this cloud infrastructure. In addition, cloud service providers are rarely responsible for sabotage or other malicious actions.

In many cases, the best way to protect data is internal confidentiality. The most sensitive data and critical task loads can be stored in the private cloud of the data center, maintained and protected by the corporate IT staff. When you combine public and private environments, companies can get some hybrid cloud oversight. Best practices and tools (such as trend micro deep security, mcafee hybrid cloud security products, and ibm hybrid cloud infrastructure) can help companies monitor, detect, and report security issues in hybrid environments.
