    Get the best of both with a Hybrid Cloud Strategy

    4D provides you with an open choice of hybrid cloud solutions, creating a seamless experience across your infrastructure. Our dedicated experts will help you build the right mix of on-premise (or colocation), private cloud and public cloud platforms – all working together as part of your overall environment.

    Combine Performance with Flexibility

    Hybrid cloud solutions combine the high performance and security of private clouds (or colocation) with the flexibility of public cloud platforms to power your infrastructure.

    A hybrid cloud consists of a combination environment made up of two major parts:

    • Your dedicated hardware
    • Flexible access to Public Cloud

     

    When you need to use your public cloud provisioning, your critical processes continue to run on your dedicated system to protect them.

    Shaping your digital transformation

    Digital transformation offers the potential to revolutionise the very nature of your business – but for that to happen, you need the IT infrastructure to support it.

    Digital transformation is the use of digital technologies to overhaul the way we complete tasks and solve problems. It allows us to do things better and faster, putting us ahead of the competition and giving us the tools to grow.

    A Hybrid Cloud solution, using both Public and Private Cloud, helps ensure you maintain a high level of security and flexibility whilst giving you the ability to pursue future digital transformation in whichever direction you decide.

     

    4D - Why Private Cloud Should be Part of your Digital Transformation

     

     

    Choosing a Hybrid Cloud Environment

    The hybrid approach to cloud allows organisations to manage resources more effectively, reaping all the benefits of utilising dedicated hardware, without limiting themselves to that hardware when traffic demands the use of additional resources.

    Get the security and control of a Private Cloud with the flexibility and cost advantages of Public Cloud.

    Hybrid cloud is ideal for companies with diverse computer system requirements, as the combination of private and public platforms allows for tailoring your system to specific requirements.

    Scalable Performance

    • Your private cloud or colocation provides you with reliable performance for demanding applications.
    • While your public cloud provision allows you to increase capacity when needed.
    • Dedicated host hypervisors for Virtual Machine performance and shared SAN storage for rapid expansion

    Cost_Efficient_Icon_80x80

    Cost Efficiency

    • Reduce the amount of equipment you have to own and avoid over-investing in hardware you don’t use an a permanent basis.
    • Use Public Cloud for as many business functions as possible whilst keeping sensitive data and operations secure in the Private Cloud.

    Flexible_Deployment_Icon_80x80

    Flexible Deployment

    • A hybrid cloud can consist of as many parts as necessary, allowing you to tailor it perfectly for your operational processes.
    • Additionally, any legacy applications or localised data on your premises will still form part of your overall platform.
