Welcome to the thrilling Week 5 Blog for Cloud Computing & Governance with Bellevue University. This week we are going to talk about the Hybrid Cloud. We will discuss what it is and how it is used within an Enterprise for an Organization.
First by definition, a Hybrid Cloud is the type of cloud that utilizes the public and private cloud simultaneously for better effectiveness of infrastructure and data management. In most cases the private cloud must be constructed by the organization itself. An example of this would be an expanding company that wants to keep all of its files secure and private. They would keep the cloud servers "on premise" and maintain them themselves but would construct a Wide Area Network (WAN) to connect their network to their Public Cloud provider.
The Public Cloud would more than likely be utilized for the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to where they will operate their applications through a Cloud infrastructure to utilize virtual servers, memory and storage for certain types of data that are not private or critical information.
We discussed Cloud Bursting last week, to where operating in their own Private Network, the organization can opt to freely "burst" into the Public Cloud for added processing power, or set it up for a critical back up option in case there is a critical failure on the on premise Private Cloud.
Used in tandem and reliant on the other, this can be a successful implementation for any organization that is looking to keep some of their operations on premise, but also accessible through a URL in the Cloud from anywhere in the world.
That is all I have for you this week Bloggers!! Until next week!
