Hybrid Cloud (Glossary)

Automation Big data and smart data Cybercrime and cybersecurity Digital transformation Sanjay Sauldie Glossary

The term hybrid cloud is particularly at home in the areas of digital transformation, big data and smart data as well as cybercrime and cybersecurity. A hybrid cloud is a combination of two types of IT infrastructure: a private cloud (e.g. the company's own servers) and a public cloud (such as services from Amazon, Microsoft or Google).

The major advantage of a hybrid cloud is that companies can store important and sensitive data securely on their own servers while at the same time utilising the flexibility of the public cloud - for example for large data analyses or to add more storage space. This increases efficiency, cost savings and security. In addition, every company can easily adapt its IT resources as required and thus remain flexible.

Imagine an online shop keeps its customer data securely in-house, but uses the public cloud during a big sale to process more orders. This allows the company to remain competitive while protecting its sensitive data from attacks. The hybrid cloud therefore combines the best of both worlds and is now an important component of modern digital strategies.
