Today, businesses are out to transform their organizations to maximize their full digital potential. After all, digital transformation provides a competitive edge, improved innovation, and new technologies that can drive better business. Cloud technologies by Amazon Web Services (AWS) help power this digital transformation. The cloud provides organizations of varying sizes the ability to process big data as well as provide access to greater storage and processing capabilities, among many others.
Businesses are now turning to hybrid cloud environments to make the most of the cloud’s dependability and dynamicity. A hybrid cloud model, after all, gives organizations the speed and scalability of public and private cloud infrastructures like AWS and the control and reliability of on-premises infrastructure. Hybrid cloud architectures can support Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) workloads, which carry components of various sizes and capabilities ranging from transactional and database to high-performance computing.
In today’s world, organizations need to be able to operate 24/7. To maintain business continuity, critical business data should be backed up — securely — on the cloud, ready to be accessed by users regardless of location. Companies today also need to be able to manage, restore, and recover data, both on-premises and in the cloud.
A 2019 Nutanix survey shows that 85% of its respondents regard the hybrid cloud as the ideal IT operating model. The IDC also predicts that by 2021, over 90% of organizations across the world will be dependent on a combination of cloud computing deployment models that include on-premises, dedicated private clouds, different public clouds, as well as legacy platforms. Hybrid cloud environments provide the flexibility to run applications that need high bandwidth while also supporting workloads that require significantly less on-premises resources, empowering organizations with great elasticity and considerable practicality.
