In their quest for improved security, agility and performance, more and more organizations are moving to the hybrid cloud.
By design hybrid clouds offer benefits of both public and private cloud/on-premises data centers.
However, there are some challenges in running operations seamlessly. Chiefly, SLAs, visibility into multiple cloud environments, workloads and not least governance and security. These are key areas in successfully managing hybrid clouds. And this calls for in-depth understanding of these areas, over and above the technical factors involved in managing hybrid clouds.
Which is why organizations considering a hybrid cloud must have a transitioning strategy in place, which identifies applications (by priority) by cloud migration-readiness.
Hybrid Advantages
Hybrid cloud prevents vendor lock-in and might reduce hardware costs across platforms.
It facilitates use of containers for deployment of mobile and web applications at scale
Use of virtual machines, which allows software-defined networking and is the core of hybrid cloud management, enables high data security, service continuity, and consistent uptime
Hybrid clouds bring value propositions around data privacy management, security, and regulatory compliance, that make it possible for businesses to mitigate challenges regarding regulations of data residency, while providing high control on data security, and availability.
Disadvantages
Security and compliance become the organization’s responsibility, bringing with it, higher risk of internal data theft
Legacy applications and inefficient firewalls vulnerable to hackers.
Visibility Challenges
The biggest challenges organizations face in managing their hybrid cloud are
lack of visibility & control required for service assurance. These remain major concerns in managing a hybrid cloud, and extend to every stage of the hybrid environment.
Incomplete datasets pose one of the biggest headaches to visibility. Complete datasets are necessary for complete visibility of every layer of their network. to enhance infrastructure-performance and prevent cyberattacks by identifying and mitigating threats pre-emptively
