Hybrid Cloud

Combine the best of both worlds—your on-premises IT infrastructure and powerful cloud resources.

With a hybrid cloud you gain high performance, reliability and robust data protection. Move workloads and data between the two environments whenever your business needs dictate.

Advantages of a hybrid solution

On‑demand scaling

Real‑time scaling provides the most efficient architectural solutions and speeds up performance.

Cost reduction / Short time‑to‑market

Optimal distribution of resources between public and private clouds allows you to utilize all capacities efficiently.

High deployment speed of resources in the OpenStack cloud infrastructure saves time in bringing your product to market.

Increased functionality

The hybrid model makes it possible to merge processes within a single infrastructure with identical services regardless of application deployment environments.

Hybrid data migration

A unified global infrastructure with a configured internal network enables safe data movement and accelerates performance.

Powerful cloud platform

Power of premium‑class servers

We use best‑in‑class Intel Xeon Gold and Platinum series processors and ultra‑fast all‑flash drives. Guaranteed data access — in any millisecond.

Tier III data centers

Data centers in Saint Petersburg and Frankfurt provide comprehensive protection, reliability, and availability of critical and confidential data. You can focus on your business, knowing that your data is in safe hands.

Convenient management tools

Everything is in your hands: create servers, manage databases, backups, and other tools. Use API and CLI or Terraform to quickly create and manage your instances.

A full‑fledged infrastructure on OpenStack is ready

DRS — dynamic resource scheduling

A distributed real‑time resource scheduler balances the load between cluster nodes.

Your cloud applications will run efficiently under any load.

HA — high availability

Our system ensures continuous operation of virtual machines in Server Mall Cloud even during host failures, hardware malfunctions, or network issues. HA mode is activated automatically, allowing virtual machines to migrate between nodes without interrupting users.

    FAQ

    What is a hybrid cloud?

    A hybrid cloud is a cloud infrastructure that uses a private and public cloud infrastructure in its architecture, combining the benefits of both.

    What are the benefits of a hybrid cloud?

    The benefits of using hybrid clouds are in leveraging the strengths of private and public cloud infrastructures, specifically:

    • High security

    High security for critical processes and data by separating them into the private infrastructure.

    • High scalability flexibility

    The public part of the cloud allows for flexible scaling of the infrastructure used, depending on workloads.

    • Optimize costs

    Hybrid cloud allows you to avoid cost overruns by building a complete infrastructure, while keeping non-critical processes that require flexible scalability in the public cloud.

    • Diversification

    Dedicating your critical processes to a private cloud makes it easy for you to switch to another public infrastructure provider if needed, while ensuring that the necessary level of security and technical requirements are maintained.

    • Reduces the burden on your IT staff

    Offloading part of your processes to a public cloud will reduce the burden on your support staff by shifting it to the public cloud provider's staff.

    What are the most common use cases for hybrid cloud?

    Hybrid cloud is fine if there are:

    • Business risky workloads.

    You're launching a new project, service, feature or application in addition to an existing one running on your private infrastructure. But at the outset, it's unclear whether the endeavor will be successful. In this case, you can use a public cloud, which will not require a capital investment in building up your own physical infrastructure. If the endeavor isn't successful, you'll drop the public cloud service, and if successful, build additional private infrastructure and move the project there.

    • Seasonal increase in workload

    If you are running in a private cloud or on-premises environment, but some of your business processes are seasonal and cause peak hardware loads, you will need to provide spare computing capacity. Building and maintaining infrastructure to handle peak loads that will be idle most of the time is inefficient, it is more advantageous to organize a hybrid cloud, passing the peak load in the public cloud.

    • The need for infrastructure in case the main infrastructure fails

    Any infrastructure can fail, but it is costly to duplicate the infrastructure of the main private cloud. A rational solution would be to set up a hybrid structure in which the private infrastructure in the event of a failure is duplicated in the public cloud, where the necessary capacity can be deployed quickly.

    What workloads can I move to the cloud?

    Almost any workload can be migrated to the cloud, but not all of them are worth migrating. Large monolithic applications that run all the time, with relatively constant and predictable workloads, are often more efficient outside the cloud. Sensitive data is also desirable to keep in your private data centers because of data security concerns.

    It is possible to migrate an application to the cloud "as is," but this is generally not the best option. When migrating, it is advisable to evaluate the architecture and identify effective migration solutions. Often when migrating to the cloud, an application is broken down into microservices and only part of the functions are thus migrated to the cloud.

    What are the challenges when using a hybrid cloud?

    When building and operating a hybrid cloud infrastructure, you need to consider its complex architecture. Typically, hybrid infrastructure uses microservices that are integrated into the overall system and link the private and public cloud. Compared to a private or public cloud, securing a hybrid cloud requires more staff expertise and a deeper understanding of how the elements of the system are interconnected.
