Hybrid Cloud Computing | What Is Hybrid Cloud?

What is hybrid cloud?

Hybrid cloud strategies in manufacturing deploy applications across on-premise and cloud environments. For manufacturing edge environments, this typically involves collecting and standardizing asset data locally; processing and normalizing that data; integrating with local systems; and leveraging the cloud for storage, analysis, and reporting.

This deployment strategy can benefit your business by:

standardizing solutions across locations to help accelerate advanced digital transformation
reducing edge OT variability to simplify multi-site rollout
creating an edge compute layer that drives higher total value with improved processing and intelligence
distributing compute and intelligence to improve scalability
improving edge resilience for outages and intermittent performance with in-pipe data retention
simplifying and enhancing security with access to advanced security options and methods

According to Nutanix’s Enterprise Cloud Index:

45% manufacturing workload

will be in the cloud within two years

21% of respondents

expect to deploy hybrid cloud within one year

86% of manufacturers

view hybrid cloud as the “ideal IT model”
