Managing your hybrid cloud doesn't have to be complicated
Hybrid cloud is becoming increasingly popular among enterprise decision makers, driven largely by the growth of AI workloads. However, managing a hybrid IT landscape that includes private cloud, edge, and public cloud operations can add complexity. But it doesn't have to be this way. HPE's latest document titled 'Managing your hybrid cloud doesn't have to be complicated' provides practical guidance to overcome five common hybrid cloud challenges: integrating on-premises and cloud environments, multicloud complexity, maintaining visibility into operations, network security, and controlling cloud costs. It reveals that nearly 70% of decision-makers choose either private or hybrid public-private infrastructure for their AI initiatives. Embrace the power of hybrid cloud, leverage these strategies to simplify your IT management, and drive your business transformation with success. Contact us to get started today.
Integrating On-Premises and Cloud Environments
To ensure seamless interoperability between your on-premises and cloud environments, start by clarifying your objectives for using a hybrid cloud architecture. Identify which applications, data, services, and AI workloads need to work together. Utilize various integration strategies and tools that suit your organization's needs. Additionally, consider implementing monitoring tools that allow you to manage both environments from a single interface, helping you maintain visibility and optimize performance.
Managing Multicloud Complexity
Managing multicloud complexity involves establishing a robust cloud governance framework. This includes creating and monitoring policies that guide your cloud operations and overseeing user interactions within these environments. Tailor your governance model to fit your business needs, and consider appointing a knowledgeable chief data officer to oversee these efforts. This approach will help you maintain control over system integration, data management, and compliance, ultimately minimizing risks and interruptions.
Keeping Cloud Costs in Check
To effectively manage costs in a hybrid cloud setup, start by gaining visibility into your expenses using monitoring and analysis software. These tools can help you track spending and identify trends, allowing for better optimization of costs and resource utilization. Implement automation and DevOps practices to provision resources based on workload demands, ensuring resources are only used when necessary. Additionally, consider partnering with a cloud expert to enhance your cloud experience and cost management strategies.
