Technology Requirements for Operating Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud is increasingly becoming very popular among organizations, and
if you look at the latest statistics, it comes hybrid comes at a strong 40% third,
compared to the 50% and 45% of public and private cloud respectively. This
means that it has started gaining momentum, and in future, hybrid cloud will be
a force to reckon with. The best thing about hybrid cloud is the fact that it brings
the best of both worlds. As an organization, you get to pick the highs from both
factions. For example, you gain from the speed, variety of applications, agility,
flexibility and low costs that come with subscribing to a public cloud and you
also gain from the security, ease of customization and control that come with a
private network.
Hybrid clouds are for organizations that are hungry for better performance,
which is in total contrast to sticking a comfort zone. It shows a desire to get the
best from the cloud platform, but you need a proper assessment before enrolling
into hybrid cloud in order to determine the organizational areas which stand to
benefit from hybrid cloud. As a matter of fact, the decision to enroll into hybrid
cloud should be propelled by the desire to fill certain gaps which have not been
filled by either private or public cloud. For example, if you do not have variety of

applications for use in the organization on your private network, it makes a lot of
sense to subscribe to a public cloud where you will get all the variety you desire.
What do you need in order to operate a hybrid cloud?
In order to operate a hybrid cloud, you will need a data center facility in
your organization. This is where all the hardware and software components
essential in running the private cloud will be located. The data center
environment has to allow proper functioning of the hardware components of
cloud, such the servers and processors. This means that it should be cool
enough to prevent overheating of the processors, which may be catastrophic
and may destroy the entire system. Thus, coolers and multiple fans will have to
be installed at the data center facility in order to provide an optimum
environment for the hardware components to function.
Strong servers are an essential ingredient of cloud. The amount of traffic
that your network is able to handle is fully dependent on the strength of your
servers. Strong servers have the capacity to handle huge traffic without any
hitches. They also have a swift response time, meaning that users will be able to
send and receive files instantaneously. This also means that they will have a
high upload and download speed, which is very important especially for an
organization that is fully depended on cloud computing.
Virtual infrastructure managers – they play a very vital role when it comes
to virtualization. Virtualization is very important, because it is responsible for
providing users with space on a virtual platform. Cloud is about providing users
with virtual space, as in the case of email service providers who normally
provide users with up to 15GB of virtual space. This is exactly the same with
organizational cloud computing, and the virtual infrastructure managers (VIM)
provide users with a certain amount of virtual space. Thus, on hybrid cloud
platform, users will have a certain amount of virtual space depending on their
subscription package. However, they can increase the amount of space on the
private cloud according to their needs.
Multicore processors – this is yet another very important component of a
hybrid cloud system. You will need to invest in specific processors which are
specifically manufactured to handle cloud computing requirements. The keyword

here is multicore, which means that the CPU has multiple processors, which
thus give it more processing power. Thus, such a CPU is able to handle huge
traffic, multiple users, advanced programs and applications without any hitches.
Moreover, it is able to transfer data at explosive speeds, consequently earning it
the status of a server. In simple terms, these multicore processors are
commonly known as servers. The number of processors is solely depended on
the user’s needs; thus, if you run a complex hybrid system, you will need more
processors. The number of processors is also dependent on your organization`s
size. Big organizations automatically have more employees subscribed to the
cloud servers, which trickles down to more traffic. Thus, the bigger the
organization, the higher the amount of servers required to run the hybrid cloud
system.
On the software side of the equation, you will definitely need strong security
firewalls, so that your hybrid cloud system is not prone to compromise by
malicious people such as hackers who operate through viruses and malware. In
most cases, having a private cloud which has stronger firewalls than the public
cloud always makes more sense. As a matter of fact, the need to have a hybrid
cloud is often necessitated by the desire to have a network whose security
cannot be compromised, so that it can be used for sending confidential files and
storing critical data. This is mainly because security lapses have been known to
occur in some public clouds.
Your hybrid cloud system will definitely need period upgrades in order to
keep up with the changing environment. Every organization grows with time,
and hence its cloud needs today may be totally different from its cloud needs
tomorrow. This therefore means that with time, you will need to increase the
servers, in terms of both size and capacity, so that they can comfortably meet
your growing needs. The best thing about a hybrid network is the fact that you
can import some of the software and applications provided on the public cloud,
and use them in your private cloud.
