Hybrid Cloud

The efficiency of dedicated hardware with the flexibility of the cloud

Existing infrastructure, vendor lock-in, and costly downtime put the cloud out of the reach of many organizations with legacy infrastructure. With decades of combined experience, Adaptive Data Networks can help you get the most out of your IT investments with a hybrid cloud solution that meets your business needs.

What is a Hybrid Cloud?

With the advent of large cloud environments, and the push by CFO’s to translate CapEx into OpEx, organizations have adopted strategies that move large and complex workloads to the cloud. These migrations can be costly, problematic, and on occasion impossible to fully complete. A hybrid cloud environment is an environment where an organization keeps some workload local or at a datacenter with company owned / leased equipment. This allows for management of more complex aspects of critical business applications in a controlled environment. On top of this self-managed environment, additional workload is offloaded to external physical or virtual “cloud” servers. These external servers can typically be deployed instantly to handle burstable workloads. Adaptive Data Networks have been involved in helping customers design, engineer, implement and manage hybrid-cloud solutions since day one.

Often, a hybrid cloud works by utilizing dedicated servers for typical usage and cloud servers for peak usage.

Types of Hybrid Cloud

What type of hybrid cloud solution best fits your business use-case?

Hosted infrastructure connected to hosted cloud servers via a direct connection

Fully Hosted Solution

A fully hosted solution involves leveraging existing infrastructure hosted with Genesis Adaptive alongside instantly provisioned GA cloud servers to handle peak workloads. A set of physical dedicated servers perform critical functions such as database provisioning and data processing, while a set of easily replicable cloud servers spin up as individual application instances. These cloud servers are launched close to your end users, behind a load balancer to service your application connection requests.

Hosted infrastructure connected to an external cloud provider via IP Transit or an Internet connection

Hosted Infrastructure with External Cloud

This solution involves a set of GA hosted dedicated servers as a base to perform critical business functions. An additional connection is made to an external cloud provider, such as AWS, Azure, or the GA cloud over the internet using IPSec or similar VPN technologies. Then, cloud instances are spun up leveraging infrastructure-as-code methodology, quickly bringing you additional application capacity as needed. Care must be taken to ensure steady connectivity between your hosted infrastructure and the external cloud provider.

Your existing infrastructure connected to an external cloud provider via IP Transit or an Internet connection

Existing Infrastructure with External Cloud

Your existing infrastructure (self-managed or at a local datacenter) continues to perform most or all critical business applications. Additional workload is outputted to an external cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or the GA cloud. By leveraging your existing infrastructure investment, alongside instantly provisioned cloud servers, you can keep OpEx low while removing the need for additional CapEx over time. This allows your organization to complete a phased move to the cloud, or to continue operating without interruption in the case of rapid growth.

Hybrid Cloud Benefits

Experience the upsides of a flexible, Hybrid Cloud solution

Plan for Peak Workloads

Making a business case for expanding your application when you’ve got a large traffic peak is difficult. Hybrid cloud takes that discussion and turns it into a much simpler one, allowing you to leverage always-on dedicated servers and instantly deployable cloud servers to maintain control of your cost structure. When your organization is experiencing exceptional user engagement and user base growth, don’t let CapEx stand in the way of expansion. Adaptive Data Networks can help you setup the infrastructure needed to accomodate for peak workloads.

More Granular Control

The key problem with physical servers, whether you own them outright or you manage them, is their general inflexibility. Adding and removing hardware is an outage event, the underlying hardware itself can fail, and continuous maintenance makes them costly. While building in redundancies is possible, it simply adds to the overall cost and complexity of managing your solution. Hybrid cloud solutions with Adaptive Data Networks solve this problem, leveraging additional hardware / software granularity to create instant-on capacity for your applications.

Cost Efficient

Hybrid Cloud solutions allow you to scale your application as you grow – adding and removing capacity is as simple as pressing a button or adding a line of code. Need more RAM, disk space, or network throughput? Simply reprovision your cloud server in seconds, and you’re back up and running. This process allows for a significant reduction in overall costs, both from a CapEx and a downtime perspective. Adaptive Data Networks Hybrid Cloud solutions take into account the need for your business to control costs through scale and proper planning.

Geographic
Resilience

Most dedicated hosting solutions are limited in scope to a single geographic region due to cost and complexity. Cloud servers have dispelled this design flaw, by launching large computing centers in major cities across the globe. Companies now have the opportunity to get closer to their end users than ever before. Adaptive Data Networks Hybrid Cloud solutions take into account the geographic disparity of your client base to provide a more resilient connection. This links you with localized cloud facilities and provides a faster overall application experience.

Existing Cloud Integration

Setting up your Hybrid Cloud with Adaptive Data Networks can mean easy integration with existing cloud workloads, without the downtime associated with moving entire applications at once. We will work with your existing cloud environments to provide for an easy transition, or help you with expanding into the GA cloud. Our experienced architects and engineers can assist in designing a solution that meets the key requirements of a functioning Hybrid Cloud, including granularity, cost efficiency, capacity planning, and geographic resilience.

Integrate with GA Services

Cloud Environments, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, provide excellent platforms for growth for many organizations. With our extensive expertise in cloud environments, as well as a plethora of hosted services such as Dedicated Servers, Cloud Servers, Managed Servers, and more, Adaptive Data Networks can assist your organization in choosing the GA platform services that are right for you. When building out your new hybrid cloud environment, you can rest assured that your implementation will be a success.
