Hybrid cloud scenario
Dynamic or frequently changing workloads. Use an easily scalable public cloud to handle dynamic workloads while leaving less volatile or sensitive workloads to private clouds or on-premises data centers.
Separate critical workloads from less sensitive workloads. You can store sensitive financial or customer information on a private cloud and use the public cloud to run the rest of your enterprise applications.
Big data processing. You are unlikely to process large data continuously in near constant volume. Instead, you can use highly scalable public cloud resources to run some big data analytics, while also using a private cloud to keep data secure and keep sensitive big data behind the firewall.
Migrate to the cloud database incrementally and at your own pace. Place some workloads on public clouds or small private clouds. Learn what's right for your business and continue to scale your cloud presence as needed—public cloud, private cloud, or a hybrid of both.
Temporary processing capacity needs. Hybrid cloud allows you to allocate public cloud resources for short-term projects at a lower cost than using IT infrastructure in your own data center. This way, you don't over-invest in equipment that you need temporarily.
Future flexibility. No matter how well you plan to meet your needs today, unless you have a crystal ball, you won't know how your needs will change next month or next year. A hybrid cloud approach lets you match your actual data management needs with the public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises resources that can best handle those needs.
The best of both worlds. Unless you have a clear need to be met only by public or private cloud solutions, why limit your options? By choosing a hybrid cloud approach, you can leverage the best of both worlds.
