A private computing model allows an organization to run cloud servers within its own data center, while public environments make resources available over the internet, with third-party providers maintaining servers remotely. To reap the benefits of both private and public platforms, many organizations are beginning to use hybrid environments for cloud storage, giving them more flexibility with day-to-day operations. If you’re considering switching your organization to a hybrid cloud environment, below are a few reasons to do so. 

3 Advantages of Hybrid Cloud Environments 

1. Security Boost

From financial reports to employee records, many organizations keep sensitive information in private cloud storage for fear of security breaches in public environments. Hybrid cloud environments are designed to keep resources secure. If a laptop is stolen, for example, an employee can still access backup data files on the cloud while all information is completely removed from lost equipment remotely.   

2. Staff Productivity

When cloud servers are kept in an on-site data center, it’s the responsibility of personnel to maintain the system and hardware. The time it takes to monitor the servers pulls focus from other important job responsibilities. Storing information in the public cloud gives IT staff and other employees more time to tend to other tasks.

3. Global Accessibility

Using a hybrid cloud model will make it easier for personnel to access cloud storage and other resources at any time. Whereas private environments might have limited reach, public cloud servers are located around the world. Employees can use this component of the organization’s hybrid model to access information when traveling.
