Build Your Open Cloud Today
Public Clouds have changed the game in regards to IT infrastructure. Gone are the days when users would have to wait 14 to 21 days to provision a new system. Users now have an expectation that a new system can be provisioned in a matter of minutes, not days. And if IT infrastructure teams won't give them what they want, then they will bypass IT and use their corporate cards to provision a system from a Public Cloud provider. When this happens, IT infrastructure teams start to lose control of their infrastructure that they are responsible for securing and managing. What happens if critical internals or data is accidentally exposed via a system in the public cloud? Security, privacy and governance are all critical issues to consider when exploring a public cloud strategy.
These issues naturally drive many organizations to a private cloud strategy, when they can offer many of the benefits of a public cloud while still maintaining complete control over their infrastructure. The downside to a private cloud is that you can't take advantage of the scalability and on-demand infrastructure that public clouds provide. For example, if your business faces seasonal demands, you don't want to have to buy infrastructure for peak processing that sits idle most of the year.
A hybrid cloud solution is the perfect solution between these two options. It provides you with the control and security of a private cloud, while allowing you to burst out to the public cloud and take advantage of the elasticity it offers. Controlled, secure, agile and responsive – these are the key attributes that you want in a hybrid cloud and only Red Hat can give them to you.
