Most of the world’s data centers are still using vertical scaling solutions for storage—and that’s a problem. This legacy approach to storage was not designed with today’s zettabytes of data in mind. Organizations need to store exponentially more data than ever before, and they need to do so in an affordable way that doesn’t jeopardize performance. The advent of software-defined storage makes scale-out storage solutions a real possibility.
Another relatively new technology, hybrid cloud, enables organizations to have maximum business flexibility from cloud architectures, which helps maximize budget efficiency and performance goals at the same time. In a nutshell, hybrid cloud is a cloud-computing environment that uses a mix of on-premises, private-cloud and public-cloud services, with orchestration between the two platforms.
As with any new architecture, there are both benefits and drawbacks to deploying a hybrid-cloud approach. This article will discuss some design elements you can use to ensure your hybrid cloud delivers the performance, flexibility and scalability you need.
