Hybrid Cloud is the integration of both public and private clouds. A hybrid cloud is the amalgamation of private and public clouds through a wide area network, to generate a single functioning platform.
Private and public, both clouds have their own merits and demerits. So how to choose the better one? The answer is simple! Choose the best of both worlds, HYBRID CLOUD. The stats have proven this fact.
According to a report by Statista,  The global hybrid cloud market was valued at USD 85 B in 2021 and is expected to surge and reach USD 262 B by 2027.
Organizations have understood the importance of cloud solutions and the versatility, agility, and flexibility of the hybrid cloud have made it more adaptable. Before moving ahead with the cloud, you must know what is hybrid cloud architecture and all about it.

Why adopt Hybrid Cloud Architecture?

The Hybrid Cloud Architecture majorly includes IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) platform. IaaS is a platform, wherein the computing resources needed are offered by the third party through the wide area network. Here the organization is looking forward to using a thor party space instead of the on-premises resources and storage. Hybrid cloud architecture is getting famous amongst organizations due to its benefits. What are these benefits?

Flexibility
In times of workload, an organization is free to share the load between on-premises and public cloud to balance the load on the infrastructure. This ensures the efficient working of the application.

Scalability
A hybrid Cloud makes it easy to manage the conditions of an abrupt outage. At times, when a certain data center gets dysfunctional, there is a way to keep the operation ongoing with the public cloud. This makes the hybrid cloud scalable. 

Cost Saving
In case of more storage is required, a firm does not need to develop a new cloud. They can access a public cloud for usage. This reduces the need for new infrastructure every time, thereby cutting down on excessive costs. Also, the cost of maintenance of servers and other infrastructure is reduced with a hybrid cloud. 

Ordered Migration
With hybrid cloud mode, the organization has the leverage to maintain the legacy system by not bringing it to the public cloud and modernizing it by seamlessly switching between the virtual domains.

What are the drawbacks of a hybrid cloud?

There are cons to every single technology developed and so the hybrid cloud also has the same. Control failure can be a big trouble for hybrid cloud users. The organization has extreme control over the private cloud, but it is not the case with the public cloud. So a strong management hold is required to overcome this situation. 

Cost management can be another issue faced by the organization. If there is no strategy to implement, the hybrid cloud may cost more than the public or private cloud.

How to select a cloud storage provider for your organization?

Before selecting your cloud storage provider, you need to consider a few points about the cloud. These points can ease the selection of your cloud partner firm and give you a better understanding of your infrastructure requirement.

Security: Understand the security plans of your cloud infrastructure. An improper safety measure can make the entire system vulnerable and exposed to threats.

Orchestration & Management: Understanding the operation, orchestration & management of the cloud operating system helps in establishing the right platform for service. OS determines the rest be followed.

Segregation of the workload: Defining the domains in which the workload will function elaborates its regulatory complaints, accessibility, pricing, and other application features. So defining the workload, as to which part of the task is to be performed in which cloud eases the entire process.

Defining the modernization plan: Different modernization approaches focus on different ways to function with the cloud. Whether you are using disaggregated composable infrastructure or hyper-converged infrastructure, the performance of the cloud depends on your selection.
