Hybrid Cloud Benefits

More and more businesses are turning to a managed hybrid cloud model that mixes and matches dedicated hardware, private cloud platforms and public cloud services to meet their unique requirements. A study by Rackspace, in conjunction with The London School of Economics and Political Science, found that 60 percent of businesses have moved or are considering moving to a hybrid cloud platform.

Here are some of the benefits that make hybrid solutions so compelling to so many businesses:

Why Use Hybrid Cloud?

Fit-for-Purpose

Store your most sensitive data on dedicated hardware while simultaneously benefiting from the public cloud's cost efficiency and on-demand scalability.

Improved Security Capabilities

Place your sensitive customer data on a dedicated server while running your front-end applications in the public cloud — creating a seamless, agile and secure environment.

Cost Benefits

Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership, match your cost patterns to your revenue/demand patterns and transition from a capital-intensive cost model to an OpEx-based model.

Driving Innovation and Future-Proofing IT

Hybrid cloud allows you to take advantage of emerging cloud technologies, while still retaining your legacy applications within your corporate data centers.

How Can Rackspace Help?
