The new era of the Hybrid Data Center is upon us. While it is great that there is a huge trend of cloud migrations, at the end of the day, some workloads must remain on-premises, even if those workloads can operate in the cloud.

Our Data Centers must be enabled to complement our cloud strategies by giving us the freedom to choose when and where our workloads go, because selecting the right workload to migrate, at the right time, to which provider, will be instrumental to migrating successfully.

According to Gartner, “…Organizations have realized that, although “cloud first” may be the trend, a more realistic model is, “Don’t be cloud-first; be cloud-ready.”1

We believe this means we must securely enable the data center to complement the cloud. This can be achieved by enabling our data centers processing, storage and enterprise networks to become hyperscale and virtualized where we can enable applications and workloads to be delivered at the edge with better response times, lower costs and faster times to market.

Since all workloads are not created equal, determining which to keep on premises and which to migrate can be a difficult decision to make. There are a few things to consider, amongst those you should ask yourself, will there be a positive or negative impact to the business? In addition compliance, security and latency are all key components to analyze. This is where the Hybrid Data Center comes into play by allowing us to have the scalability on demand, cost-efficiency, resiliency, and simple operations at all times.

A recent report published by Gartner, outlines recommendations to IT leaders and what we feel they need to focus on to achieve optimal efficiency of their existing Hybrid Data Center and IT environments. By equipping yourself with the tools and technologies needed the sky truly is the limit.
