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”
Drive transformational outcomes at scale with hybrid cloud
Hybrid cloud is a core element that helps create efficiencies and drive competitive differentiation. Embracing this computing approach helps drive compute power while improving security and resiliency. By addressing data and infrastructure variability between edge sites, it helps to drive scalability for transformational efforts.
