Whats New

In the issue of digital transformation, cloud systems are now being discussed and applied in various industrial sectors as data storage places that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. Evidently, the use of cloud computing allows companies to operate more efficiently and generate new innovations faster. However, companies still need new breakthroughs, where data processing can be carried out in one place and at the same time. Thus, a hybrid cloud appears.

Hybrid cloud is a mixture or combination of a public cloud with a private cloud that can be managed simultaneously using tools in different cloud environments. Public cloud is a cloud service that can be accessed by many people with public network services while a private cloud is a service that can only be accessed by a company or organization using a private network. Therefore, hybrid cloud is a cloud service that integrates both private and public clouds to provide multiple functions within the same company.

Application of Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid clouds are usually found in companies that have various branches because they need their data to be integrated in real-time. The cloud’s capabilities can be utilized to carry out centralized data processing through internet connectivity while still being able to carry out different data operations in each place. Therefore, the use of a hybrid cloud is an effective step when applied to a work environment with a dynamic pattern.

The implementation of this hybrid cloud can also be implemented in several ways, including by private and public clouds integration services. Another way of implementing it can be managed by private cloud owners themselves while subscribing to public cloud services and integrating both according to the organizations’ infrastructures.

Benefits of Using Hybrid Cloud

With certainty, the use of hybrid cloud technology has a positive impact on companies/organizations. The first is cost efficiency, while the companies can still save costs from using public cloud, they can still store sensitive data securely in private clouds. Then, the high level of security inherited from the private cloud system ensures every hybrid cloud user to operate safely. Thus, a hybrid cloud enables organizations to benefit from both clouds at low cost and guaranteed security.

Seeing the magnitude of the benefits and the growing need for hybrid cloud, FLOU Cloud emerges as a solution that brings hybrid cloud capabilities to Indonesia through a hybrid & multi-cloud platform.
