What is Hybrid Hosting?
![Page 5: An overview of Hybrid Hosting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b3ab284a795971248b459c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Raising the Concept of Hybrid Hosting – What is it?
• The combination of physical co-location and Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)
• Offering the flexibility of the cloud alongside traditional hosting solutions
• Colocation necessary for servers that can’t be virtualised
• IaaS for cloud-ready servers
• Accessible on the same network

Hybrid Hosting - Drivers
Where does the requirement for Hybrid Hosting emerge from?
• Budgetary pressures – making the move from capex to opex
• Pressures to move to the cloud
• Business agility and flexibility
• The reduction of risk

Why Colocation?
![Page 8: An overview of Hybrid Hosting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b3ab284a795971248b459c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why IaaS?Storage virtualisation, Virtual Server Hosting and Managed Dedicated Servers:
• Reduced operating costs
• Unlimited capacity on demand
• Retained management and control
• Improved server and application availability
• Enhanced business continuity and disaster recovery
• Reduced carbon footprint and exposure to green taxes
![Page 9: An overview of Hybrid Hosting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b3ab284a795971248b459c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
IaaS – virtual machines can be provisioned instantly and thus allow business ultimate flexibility. The following scenarios are typical for provisioning:
• Planned new server installation for permanent
• An existing server is modified to meet changing demand
• Proof of concept
• Test and development
IaaS – Deployment options

Why Hybrid?• Best of both worlds - not pushed into one corner
• Paced journey - tailored to customer requirements
• Reduced risk
• Reliability from data centres and networks monitored around the clock allowing constant access to your data and applications
• Scalability - the ability to add new servers or reconfigure existing specs to increase capacity as needed
• Operational and commercial flexibility

Hybrid – cost savings

Hybrid – cost savings
• Co-location: Server consolidation, removing inactive / legacy
equipment and improved rack density can visibly reduce cost
• IaaS: Consolidating under-utilised servers, virtualising
physical servers and providing server and storage
performance where needed rather than over-allocating
resources all contribute to achieving cost savings
