Hybrid Cloud Combines On-and Off-Premises Services
By providing a consistent underlying architecture for hybrid cloud technology, Intel helps you scale while selecting from a broad range of OEM hardware and cloud service providers.
Get the Best of Private and Public Cloud
Adopting a hybrid cloud strategy gives businesses incredible flexibility while helping them maximize their technology investments. With a combined on- and off-premises approach to cloud services, you can control costs, increase security, and improve performance. You can also shift traditional IT spending to emerging technology initiatives that drive new revenue. Hybrid cloud benefits include:
- High scalability and agility – Balance rapid innovation with compliance requirements on a scalable infrastructure that is interoperable, federated, and open.
- More coordinated efforts – Provide IT and DevOps with a common ground to share engineering, management, and workload optimization.
- Maturity – Get scaled environments and security features for cloud-aware applications or legacy IT operations in public and on-premises clouds.
- Virtualization – Leverage virtualization and containerization to prepare for software-defined infrastructure (SDI) and the management of pooled data center resources.
- Unified and open platform – Individual infrastructure components are united to manage, automate, and orchestrate a data center on open or proprietary technology.
- Simplified innovation – Support business growth with broad choices and capabilities for new applications and workloads.
