Cloud computing is in high demand. In as adoption grows, companies have more and more resources, apps, data residing on various platforms. In this digital era, it’s not public vs private. It’s the combination of both. It’s cloud and conventional IT. By the end of this year alone, 60-70 percent of companies will have a hybrid cloud environment.
So how they would be able to manage across their computing platforms? How can they use their resources accordingly to accomplish their IT tasks? I guess it’s time for a private or a hybrid cloud solution.
Softbless offers 2 forms of open source cloud computing: private cloud and hybrid cloud. Depending on the type of date that you will be working with, you’ll want to know them in terms of the levels of security and, of course, the data management required.
Private Cloud
These days, companies rarely deploy all of their applications into the public cloud. Logistically speaking, it is easier to move from your on-premises development environment to a private cloud compared to on-premise servers to a public cloud.
- You are using a shared storage (AWS, RDS, is not HIPAA-compliant) and you need a dedicated infrastructure for compliance.
- You need HPFS, a high-performance access to a file system.
- You have applications that come with predictable usage patterns and offer low storage costs.
- You have an application that is unstable and heavily trafficked, but your IT team is not familiar with it, and may need to partially rewrite it in the cloud.
- Your IT Team is not trained or equipped with the knowledge for migrating the application in a cost-effective manner.
Hybrid Cloud
Most enterprises are going to pursue a hybrid cloud solution this year. It is used for a certain situation where an enterprise architecture is too complex that a hybrid cloud solution — where the private or public infrastructure supports the application — is the right solution.
- Your company uses a SaaS application but not secured. Your SaaS provider can set up a private cloud just for your company in their firewall. They also provide you with a VPN for additional security for your network.
- Your company provides services for various vertical markets. You can use a public cloud to communicate with your clients whilst keeping their data safe within a private cloud.
Benefits
