1. What is a Hybrid Cloud and how it’s work?

A hybrid cloud is a computing environment in which applications and data are shared by an on-premises private cloud and a third-party public cloud. The guiding principle is a flexible infrastructure that enables a coordinated mix of private and public cloud resources, as well as maximum organisational flexibility.

There are two types of Hybrid Cloud Platforms: Monocloud and Multi-Cloud. A Hybrid Monocloud strategy is essentially a single hybrid cloud environment created by expanding an on-premises infrastructure with one cloud provider's software and hardware stack. A Hybrid Multi-Cloud stack is built on open standards or open source software. It is compatible with any public cloud infrastructure, various provid- ers, and on-premises deployment.

2. What is the difference between “Hybrid Cloud vs Public Cloud vs Private Cloud”

Private Cloud: Formerly, a private cloud was made up of resources and cloud infrastructure that an organisation owned and managed, with the in-house team deploying them on-premise. However, any dedicated cloud infrastructure for an organisation is technically a private cloud, whether it is managed internally or by a service, and whether it is housed on-premises in a data centre or off-site.

The Advantages of the private cloud architecture are focused on security threats, maximal control, and customisation. The private cloud approach provides complete control over data and computing resources. This is critical for many firms, and it is required for others that deal with very sensitive data or are subject to stringent government rules or industry standards.

The Disadvantages of private clouds include higher prices and obligations. The private cloud concept necessitates some amount of in-house IT skills, a large upfront capital investment in software and equipment, and a lengthy deployment. This means that increasing capabilities and expanding capacity is both time-consuming and costly. Less flexibility is also a concern. A private cloud infrastructure makes it more difficult to scale up or down to meet changing needs.

Public Cloud: The infrastructure of Public Clouds is owned, operated, maintained, and supplied by cloud service providers who charge clients for the use of their services. Typically, the public cloud model enables providers to distribute cloud services online via the internet to end-users who consume application, computing, network, and storage resources as services, either based on usage or for a monthly subscription fee. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are public cloud providers that provide distributed data centre infra- structure (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) services such as databases and other features.

Advantages: Scalability, cost, and reliability are some of the benefits of public cloud systems. With on-demand cloud resources, public cloud services provide nearly infinite scalability (in both directions). Public cloud providers carry the costs of investment, maintenance, and operations, and capacity is flexible, resulting in significantly lower capital expenditure (capex). Furthermore, public cloud services use several data centres, which improves reliability.

Disdvantages: The public cloud's disadvantages are mostly related to a lack of control and security issues. Workloads are subject to the infrastructure's compliance, performance, and security in the multi-tenant public cloud environment. This is why it is critical to evaluate your public cloud vendor by looking at their security and compliance certifications.

Hybrid Cloud: The hybrid cloud approach provides benefits from both public and private cloud architectures. A hybrid cloud solution enables organisations to run more dynamic, less sensitive, or temporary workloads on the public cloud while keeping highly regulated, mission critical, sensitive workloads and applications, as well as those with relatively constant capacity and performance demands, on private cloud infrastructure.

Well-designed hybrid cloud systems use extra cloud capacity to handle demand spikes in private cloud applications. This type of strategy, known as cloud bursting, is made possible by effective orchestration and integration.

A well hybrid cloud architecture include the following:

• Data and AI Integration: Organisations are combining data from new public cloud sources—such as CRM, ERP, IoT, social, and weather data—with existing data and analytics, AI capabilities, and machine learning to create more personalised experiences.

• Enhancing Legacy Apps: Although many apps remain on-premises, some firms leverage public cloud services to distribute them internationally to new devices and improve the user experience. For example, cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) are improving interoperability between clouds, resulting in a surge in cloud application development.

• SaaS Integration: Hybrid cloud integration allows organisations to connect public cloud-hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applcations to their current public, private, and legacy IT applications. This empowers the team to create more quickly and produce innovative solutions.

• VM Migration: Organisations are shifting to virtual machines (VM) and virtualized workloads in the public cloud as they seek to extend and minimise the footprint of their on-premises data centres.

3. Does Bizionic Technologies Offer Hybrid Cloud Data Protection?

The diverse portfolios of on-premises and cloud solutions for software-defined data centres include a managed backup and disaster recov- ery (DR) procedure for virtual machines housed both on-premises and on VMware Cloud on AWS, as well as VMs and services that run natively in AWS. However, this can be a complicated procedure involving multiple infrastructures and divergent solutions. The correct data protection provider is crucial in making this procedure easier.

The Bizionic Technologies Cloud Platform streamlines backup, restore, and disaster recovery for VMware virtual machines and is complete- ly integrated with vSphere/ESXi settings. We provides backup and disaster recovery for workloads running natively in AWS. Our team of expert also provides an infinitely scalable, globally accessible, and cost-effective solution for securing your business's important virtual environments—and it is the only approved SaaS data protection solution for VMware Cloud on AWS.

Bizionic Technologies can help you:

• Reduce data protection costs by up to 60% compared to traditional solutions.

• Use VMware APIs (VADP) and CBT for faster backups and unique global deduplication technology to reduce storage footprint.

• Back up and recover native AWS workloads.

• Granularly restore virtual machines (VMs) at the file, disc, or full level.

• Utilise cloud-based disaster recovery (RPOs of an hour and RTOs of minutes) to eliminate the requirement for managed services and recovery sites.

• Simplify the VM recovery process with one-click failover and failback, as well as automated runbook execution.

4. What happens if I don’t opt for Hybrid Cloud?

Companies who do not use hybrid cloud will soon find that their IT staff become overburdened. Integrating new services with old data will be tough. The same frequent challenges will arise repeatedly, with little progress made. Time, risk, and resource issues will arise frequent- ly. You'll ultimately reach a point when your technology is holding you back.
