Changing how businesses store and secure information
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.
Cost savings
Consumption visibility plus expense transparency, control and efficiency
Scalability
Improved availability, scalability and control to meet fluctuating demands
Flexibility
Foundation for increased agility and innovation
Continuity
Enhanced business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities
Security
Better security and risk management capabilities
Mobility

Why WWT?
Our certified architects, engineers and consultants are experts across all major public, private and hybrid cloud solutions, including colocation and edge computing.
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- Infrastructure modernization: Slow progress attributed to outdated on-premises infrastructure and operations.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- Outdated approach: Legacy operating models and individual governance models.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.
