Changing how businesses store and secure information

A Venn diagram with Public Cloud in a red circle on the left, Private Cloud in a light blue circle on the right, and a purple overlap of the two circles for Hybrid Cloud.

Hybrid cloud offers a vision of applications running wherever they maximize value while meeting business and IT requirements. As a deployment model, it enables the portability of services across underlying cloud infrastructures. Because resources are consumed and operated in a common way across public and private cloud environments, hybrid cloud enables developers to adopt a "develop once, deploy everywhere" methodology.

The right deployment model will depend on your business's unique goals. Our certified experts can help you choose, implement and optimize the right approach whether you need a public, private or hybrid cloud solution.

Public Cloud

On-demand computing services and infrastructure managed by third-party providers, shared with multiple organizations over the public internet.

Private Cloud

Building, modernizing, securing and optimizing private cloud environments.

We know hybrid cloud solutions inside and out because we build them in our Advanced Technology Center (ATC), which spans WWT-owned on-premises data centers, a colocated space and three public cloud environments.

Our solution-focused approach delivers business outcomes, matures cloud capabilities and reduces risk. We'll show you what works, what doesn't and demonstrate how specific application workloads operate on different hybrid cloud platforms.

Hybrid cloud challenges and use cases

Challenges

Having architected, built and deployed many hybrid cloud solutions for customers, we've identified several issues that can prevent organizations from delivering a great end-user experience:

  • Workload placement: Disagreement about which workloads should run on which cloud provider.
  • Infrastructure modernization: Slow progress attributed to outdated on-premises infrastructure and operations.
  • Skills: Knowledge gaps around connectivity, security, operations, integration and governance.
  • Outdated approach: Legacy operating models and individual governance models.
  • Complexity: Increasing technical complexity and security/compliance requirements.

Use cases

A hybrid cloud model might be the right choice for businesses seeking a variety of outcomes:

  • Bridging the gap: For accelerating stalled public cloud migrations, evacuating aging and expired data centers, or modernizing IT infrastructure.
  • Cost savings: For shifting procurement models from CAPEX to OPEX and taking advantage of public cloud's elasticity to meet growing demand.
  • Business continuity: For cost-effective disaster recovery using existing skills and tools while capitalizing on the high availability of public cloud facilities.
  • Innovation: For modernizing applications by taking advantage of data and cloud service adjacencies for increased innovation and performance.
  • UX: For expanding end-user compute capabilities to deliver enhanced user experiences for mobile and remote workforces.
  • Compliance: For improved governance and visibility while meeting strict audit, security, regulatory/compliance and vendor support concerns.
