The Hybrid Cloud Solution Model is exactly what the name indicates. It is the combination of two or more cloud solutions that a client subscribes to which can be a variety ranging from Private Cloud, Community Cloud or Public Cloud. These cloud services are not co-mingled, instead they exist and function independently of one another. The services are designed specifically for a client as parts of a complete cloud solution solution for the client. The primary benefit of this model is the functionality of services available to clients, such as multiple deployment models. The Hybrid Cloud Model is growing in demand and popularity as more businesses have adopted cloud solutions as a primary part of their business model with technology.
Cloud subscribers can benefit from this “Hybrid”architecture regarding FAULT TOLERANCE and USABILITY. What this means is that this menu of services is available with locally immediate usability and without dependency on internet connectivity. Hybrid Cloud architecture requires both on-premises resources and off-site (remote) server based cloud infrastructure. Hybrid clouds lack the flexibility, security and certainty of in-house applications. Hybrid cloud provides the flexibility of in house applications with the fault tolerance and scalability of cloud based services.
