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
