Research firm Statista revealed that 80 percent of global companies have adopted a hybrid cloud strategy by 2022. The adoption rate of hybrid cloud is predicted to continue growing with a market value of US$145 billion in 2026. 

Then, why is hybrid cloud a solution that businesses are interested in, as compared to public and private clouds? Learn more about hybrid cloud's benefits in this article.  

What is Hybrid Cloud?

According to Cloud Computing Indonesia, a hybrid cloud is a mix between public and private clouds that is linked to security compliances and has big data requirements. The hybrid cloud model is an option for businesses that want more capacity on their current IT infrastructure while taking cost and security under consideration. 

Technically, hybrid cloud enables businesses to utilize private cloud as the primary infrastructure and public cloud as a backup network to handle traffic surges that happen at specific times. In general, a private cloud provides protection for sensitive and essential data, while a public cloud is deployed for non-sensitive data with the objective of cost savings. 

Companies that want more capacity and resources quickly, especially for dynamic workloads, may find a solution in hybrid cloud. 

The Advantages of Hybrid Cloud

The following benefits of cloud environments are equivalent to those of private and public clouds. 

Scalability

Data or files may be automatically stored virtually, and businesses can change the cloud's usage capacity as needed. By using a pay-as-you-go model, a hybrid cloud, for instance, may enable a business to create a new application faster and more effectively. 

Network Speed 

One benefit of hybrid clouds for businesses building applications is the factor of network speed. Users can reduce latency and improve network performance. 

Redundancy

Critical data in the hybrid cloud may be safely kept through the private cloud in case of a system failure and can be automatically backed up via the public cloud. 

Control

Enterprises have the authority to manage low-latency private infrastructure for sensitive and important assets. 

Cost Saving

Users of hybrid clouds can balance data security assurances and data use in accordance with their needs to save costs.
