What is hybrid cloud storage architecture?

Hybrid cloud storage employs on-premises and public cloud storage resources to provide a flexible and scalable storage solution. A hybrid cloud strategy enables organizations to leverage on-premises storage and public cloud storage with seamless migration between the two to achieve unprecedented agility and flexibility across environments.

Hybrid cloud storage is comprised of:

  • On-premises storage: The most advanced on-prem storage offerings provide a cloud experience in terms of provisioning workloads and ease of management. Organizations use on-premises storage for sensitive or essential data that needs high performance, low latency, or regulatory compliance.
  • Public cloud storage: Cloud service providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP offer storage capabilities for public cloud storage. Public cloud storage solutions are scalable and offer low cost of entry, typically with pay-as-you-go pricing. These solutions can work well for backup, archive, test/dev, and new initiatives. Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure and public cloud services. Organizations operate hybrid cloud storage to improve flexibility, performance, and cost by effortlessly migrating data between on-premises and public cloud resources based on changing IT demands.
