Why is 2017 the year of hybrid cloud?
In 2017, more and more enterprises are deploying solutions and the hybrid IT world of cloud environment internally. A recent report shows that many organizations have begun to allocate cloud budgets between private and public deployments, resulting in the need for hybrid cloud strategies, providing greater flexibility for enterprises, and?? More options for deploying workloads.

Therefore, it is easy to see why the hybrid cloud strategy will continue to rise, and more and more enterprises and organizations are inclined. The hybrid cloud enables the workload to exist on the private cloud of the public cloud run by the supplier?? Or on the client side, which means that the IT team can use the security of the private cloud and the flexibility of the public cloud service to control data storage to achieve the most mature IT team is reviewing its workload (usually negotiating with the cloud service provider) to determine which is most suitable for the public or private cloud environment, and adjust the workload layout according to the hybrid cloud option.
The following are the three main advantages involved in implementing a hybrid cloud solution:
1. Scalability
The demand of the organization seldom shows the operation level of the country. The demand always increases or decreases, including the dynamic or highly variable workload of public cloud solutions, which is particularly valuable. As traffic increases, the hybrid environment will quickly allow scalability to meet current needs. When it increases or even decreases, cloud resource consumption can be reduced in time to avoid oversupply and cost control. Through the hybrid cloud strategy, IT can choose to increase the workload, which will be broken in the public cloud to maintain stable performance.
2. Cost
Public cloud has the characteristics of rapid expansion and low cost, and does not need to invest in private cloud infrastructure. The biggest advantage of the hybrid method is that it can save costs for a long time, no longer try to determine the maximum load and maintain the required maximum load. Hybrid cloud solutions can have a significant impact on IT emphasis by allowing location and reallocation to meet changing workload requirements when needed.
3. Safety
For a long time, people believe that the cloud is not as secure as the local infrastructure, but more and more evidence shows that the public cloud environment is actually less than the traditional IT environment, including ransomware and virus attacks. For example, iland cloud services now provide security levels and compliance reports, which is difficult to match for small and medium-sized enterprises in their own IT infrastructure. However, there are still some applications (especially those running on traditional systems) that may need to be kept locally, and the hybrid cloud policy supports this dual approach.
Although the hybrid cloud strategy provides all opportunities and benefits, companies must overcome key challenges by understanding and controlling their cloud workloads and resources. Enterprises usually want to use hybrid cloud as a means to improve IT operational agility, and then enter the deep implementation phase. It will show that most of the time enterprises fight to control their environment, because most cloud providers do not provide the same level of visibility team, but provide their own internal resources. At the same time, they will remain unified in the network and security policies, which also means that migration becomes more difficult than initially expected. Since cloud computing is part of its overall strategy, visibility and management control in areas such as performance, billing, security and compliance reporting are more important than ever before.
At iland, we found that although customers continue to support and utilize the value of our team, they increasingly want to adopt a more strategic and self-sufficient cloud management method that can perform data analysis, adjust resources, perform disaster recovery tests on demand, generate security reports and manage the network to take advantage of all its advantages. In addition, more and more customers use our API to link the basic data of cloud resources and workloads to their IT systems, which is very valuable in managing public and private internal cloud environments as a whole.
As the adoption of hybrid clouds increases, The IT team will need cloud service providers to provide visibility and end-to-end cloud management tools to help them manage the cloud in a more strategic way. The need for flexibility is still one of the biggest drivers of cloud applications. As complex hybrid cloud environments become more and more normal, management becomes critical.
