When it comes to service technology, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but a hybrid approach may be as close as it gets. Using either on-site solutions or a private cloud, companies can supplement their deployment options with public clouds too. Offering increased control and flexibility, businesses can maintain the increased security associated with private clouds and on-site solutions, with the scalability and functionality of public clouds.

Perfect for growing companies or seasonal businesses, when traffic increases to a website, companies can take advantage of the extra resources provided by a public cloud, rather than placing too much strain on their existing private cloud or the on-site setup. Known as ‘cloud bursting’, this gives businesses a vast amount of flexibility and scalability, without significantly increasing their costs.
