scalability, availability, and accessibility will always be the backbone of cloud computing. But where does the next cost-efficiency boost come from? The answer is not an entirely new concept, but rather the integration of two existing cloud technologies, such as public and private, to create the next great innovation: a hybrid cloud environment with proprietary patches.
Hybrid cloud enables companies to collaborate on strategies for public and private infrastructure, rather than isolating them. Private patching connects these different cloud environments without expensive public IP lines, offering many benefits to your business, not just better data security and more cost effective. Hybrid clouds combine the advantages of private and public clouds.
Today, when companies consider buying public cloud resources, they tend not to consider their existing infrastructure at the same time, nor do they take into account future corporate-owned infrastructure procurement plans. But if they do, they will find that by combining private infrastructure purchases with public cloud purchasing, they can not only improve business agility, but also cost savings of 20% to 40%.
Establish a connection
By eliminating public IP lines, businesses can connect their private infrastructure directly to their private networks, providing a fully private private network under the deployment of a public cloud, with IP-only solutions keeping the speed of low latency across the line.
If both environments are hosted in the same data center, the latency will be very low, which makes it easier for the enterprise to run calculations between its private and public infrastructure. A virtual machine can run and access seamless computing between two environments in a strange way; it's a very effective way of cloud burst.
If, on the other hand, solutions that mix private and public infrastructure are separate in the data center, there will still be a significant improvement in latency on the public Internet. Any and all data will be seamlessly and securely transferred to both environments, even in the event of an unexpected downtime in the enterprise. Its security level is already very short of traditional public cloud options. Otherwise countless companies will seize this opportunity to fully enjoy the benefits of the public cloud environment.
These two options provide a better choice for maintaining a complete independence of the public and private cloud and then investing in expensive and insecure public IP lines. Companies insist that hosting public and private clouds in the same data center, or at least the same area, can achieve the greatest benefits, which will greatly reduce, and even in some cases, the elimination of expensive delay time. This makes corporate private patching possible, so they can keep connections in these separate cloud environments without the need for public IP lines.
In any case, the economic benefits of a hybrid cloud connection are quite compelling. Businesses pay a very low-key price for an external private IP line or a low to a 300 dollar price in the same data center, without the cost of thousands of dollars in data transfer.
Network as a service under mixed cloud
Most private cloud deployments require external connectivity to any public-facing service, usually in a redundant manner. Recent technological innovations around software-defined networks have enabled companies to adopt a unified public and private synergy strategy, while also transforming the cost of public connections. Instead of buying expensive and underutilized public IP lines, businesses can run a patch into the public cloud on their public IP connection, paying only the cost per gigabyte, while enjoying the benefits of simple redundancy provided by the 10Gbps speed offered by most public cloud vendors, Not to mention protection services like DDoS.
The cost of all these cross links is usually about 300 U.S. dollars, plus 0.05 dollars GB transmission costs, compared to the thousands of-dollar dedicated public network IP line costs, which undoubtedly saved a lot of costs. Compared with the typical independent private cloud deployment, its efficiency has been greatly improved. When considering the fact that public IP line utilization is usually very low, the cost savings brought by it are quite significant. At the same time, a hybrid connection can provide a more diversified connectivity option than a standard public cloud provider.
Not just the connection
A coordinated connection is clearly the key to creating a successful hybrid strategy, but it is also important to coordinate the operating environment. As companies increase their public cloud sourcing strategy, they need to add another environment to test and manage, but they will destroy the benefits and benefits that they would otherwise have hoped for. The solution is to work with the next generation of cloud vendors to specifically propose user requirements. The result is a customer's ability to create their own private environment and run a seamless deployment within the public cloud.
In this way, coordinated private cloud and public cloud deployments enable organizations to avoid multiple environments and increase the cost of additional connections while gaining all the benefits.
Solving cloud computing challenges
Hybrid cloud solutions, especially with high flexibility and proprietary patching techniques, can reveal the hidden value of eliminating public IP lines. Historically, businesses have invested far more in private infrastructure than they actually need in their day-to-day work, because they tend to configure the private infrastructure in terms of peak service capacity requirements rather than average capacity requirements.
For example, an E-commerce Web site may experience significant workload increases during holiday promotions. Thus, in the past, they would have invested in private facilities, which were only for the peak demand for these holiday promotions, and other times were idle. With the hybrid cloud, they can host the core in the enterprise, while at the peak of demand, the unexpected workload is transferred directly to the public cloud. The result is higher utilization of private infrastructure and increased cost efficiencies for the hybrid cloud.
Finally, the public cloud can help customers achieve different values and begin to subsidize the hosting costs of private and public cloud environments. In fact, data center operators are also plugged in, and they further reinforce this trend by providing low-cost systems for their customers. Through a hybrid cloud solution, the data center itself is helping businesses find values that have been hidden for a long time.
New Cloud economy
The next generation of hybrid solutions and private patching is the best solution for the current cloud computing system. It provides users with a convenient and effective solution, let alone more affordable. Companies will be able to better plan their public and private facilities to control the overall budget as a whole, to give the infrastructure greater efficiency and resilience, and the use of public clouds can help significantly reduce total cost of ownership.
In the new cloud economy, companies will find better purchasing strategies for their own businesses, reducing waste and revealing significant value they don't even know about.
