Marry the best traits of on-premises and cloud datacenters
A key component of Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, Hybrid Cloud combines an on-premises infrastructure (or private cloud) with a public cloud, for scalability and growth.
This allows data and apps to move securely between the two environments, while being centrally managed. It also means you can level up while using on-premises infrastructure, keeping costs low and efficiency high.

FAQs
Cloud computing continues to gain momentum as businesses of all sizes recognize the scalability, performance, and cost efficiency benefits it can deliver.
With 85 percent of organizations saying they plan to embrace a cloud-based principle by 20251, what questions are being asked by those bracing for change?
How widely adopted is Hybrid Cloud in the industry, and why choose it over competing technologies?
The consensus is strong that Hybrid Cloud is the gold standard of computing. A recent survey of 7,200 C-Suite executives across 28 industries and 47 countries showed that Hybrid addresses many customer concerns around vendor lock-in, security, compliance, and interoperability.
How does Hybrid Cloud compare to on-premises or cloud-based datacenters in terms of cost?
Cost savings are a significant driver of Hybrid Cloud adoption. Recent research suggests that a consistent Hybrid Cloud platform can achieve savings of up to 47 percent over five years compared with a native public cloud when evaluated for typical applications deployed by enterprises on cloud infrastructure today.
How does Hybrid Cloud compare to on-premises or cloud-based datacenters in terms of security?
Data security has become a mission-critical concern for enterprises conducting business online. Fortunately, a Hybrid Cloud uses on-premises hardware for the storage, processing and analysis of sensitive data, but allows not-so-sensitive data to move back and forth across the cloud. This multi-layered approach better supports data back-up and the prevention of disaster scenarios.
Are Hybrid Clouds more difficult to manage than on-premises or cloud-based datacenters?
Hybrid Cloud implementations are not more complex to operate than a public cloud or on-premises datacenter. On the contrary, a Hybrid Cloud gives businesses better control over data – allowing for the creation, shifting and scaling of workloads and resources to suit your business’s specific needs.
Is migrating an existing datacenter to a Hybrid Cloud implementation difficult?
No. Thanks to the development of the IaaS delivery model, implementing a Hybrid Cloud datacenter has never been easier. IaaS lets technology providers work closely with enterprises to customize solutions for global or regional implementation.
