Hybrid cloud is a model that’s gaining popularity among both public and private institutions alike. In 2019, Flexera found that businesses which run their operations with the support of a combined public and private cloud grew to 58% from 51% in the previous year. Somewhere along this move to the cloud, the term “cloud-first” has recently become a buzzword, setting hybrid cloud models as the perfect bridge for those who wish to smoothly transition from on-site premises to virtual data centers. What is hybrid cloud, and why is it becoming popular?

According to Netapp.com, hybrid cloud is a “mixed computing, storage, and services environment made up of on-premises infrastructure, private cloud services, and a public cloud.” Despite challenges related that institutions may encounter when implementing hybrid cloud, the model actually offers tons of advantages, from reducing cost to disaster recovery. At Telkom DWS, we are prepared to support your enterprise in setting up and maintaining your hybrid cloud, allowing your institutions to enjoy a lot of benefits, such as… 

1. Smooth Cloud Migration

If your institution is planning to migrate to the cloud without a hurry, hybrid cloud can be an accessible option. Telkom DWS’ hybrid cloud services can allow you to set up your cloud data storage while your data temporarily remains on in-site premises. This means that if you wish to migrate to cloud-first, you can migrate at your own pace. We know that migration can be tricky. It requires direction, budget planning, SWOT assessment, and other things that your business has to consider. Worry not, Telkom DWS’ hybrid cloud got your back. There’s no need to rush.

2. Disaster Recovery

From minor incidents to major natural disasters, there are unexpected disasters that can cost you valuable data. With hybrid cloud, your institution doesn’t have to worry about losing critical data. At the worst case when disaster occurs, Telkom DWS’ hybrid cloud services can safekeep a significant proportion of your data in the cloud. When you implement the hybrid cloud model, you can prepare backup data in the cloud storage to insure your business can run as usual in case any unfortunate incident occurs.

3. Big Data Processing

Dealing with big data is almost impossible without the support of a reliable cloud system. Nowadays, the stream of data is increasing everyday, and it’s common for institutions to process and analyze big data in real-time. Jim Harris from SAS blogs asserts that it’s difficult to deal with big data without having a cloud system supporting your operations. If your business isn’t implementing a cloud-first strategy, hybrid cloud services from Telkom DWS can provide great assistance for your big data processing with formidable cloud infrastructure.
