eBook: Optimising workloads and costs in hybrid infrastructure
Cloud has revolutionised the way organisations deliver and consume IT services. It offers unprecedented scalability, agility and flexibility, as well as the potential to make operations more efficient and resilient. However, cloud computing is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
What you’ll learn
This whitepaper aims to provide guidance and insights for organisations that want to leverage the power of choice in cloud infrastructure.
- Understanding workload requirements and how they influence cloud decisions
- The benefits of choice in workload placement and how they align with business goals
- Optimising costs through strategic workload management and monitoring tools
- Strategies and best practices for effective hybrid cloud transformation
- Case studies of successful workload and cost optimisation in hybrid cloud
- Overcoming common challenges and preparing for future considerations
Each workload and storage environment presents unique challenges and opportunities. Choosing the right cloud option for each workload can be a complex and challenging task, especially when considering trade-offs between performance, security, skills and cost.
A hybrid cloud approach can help you optimise your workloads – if you place them in the most suitable environment, based on their characteristics and dependencies. And you can scale in a way that makes sense for your business.
However, hybrid cloud can also present challenges. Managing multiple cloud environments can be technically and operationally difficult, requiring specialised skills. Monitoring and controlling cloud spend can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with unpredictable and variable consumption patterns. To succeed with hybrid cloud – or indeed, any cloud – organisations need a clear understanding of their workloads, so they can implement effective optimisation strategies.
Optimising workloads in a hybrid environment brings a profound strategic edge. It provides the opportunity to choose the best cloud services for your needs while maintaining control by keeping certain operations local when necessary. By harnessing to these principles, you can leverage hybrid cloud to boost innovation, enhance efficiency and achieve your strategic objectives.
