Why Cloud Computing? According to one of our technology partners, Microsoft, the "why" of cloud computing is obvious: "…it lets IT offload complexity and burden," enabling business teams to "…focus on addressing the growing demand for new applications, new devices, and new solutions.” In today’s fast-changing world, IT is more challenging and exciting than ever, and the call for “more and faster” often can be answered with cloud computing. According to Microsoft, cloud computing enables employees to “deliver new projects and products, manage more devices easily, crunch more data quickly, and spin up development and test environments faster."
To summarize the most important reasons for utilizing cloud technology: Reliability – the major cloud service providers all have extensive data mirroring, backup, and disaster recovery capabilities to ensure continuous app and data availability Fast scalability – with virtually unlimited computational, storage, and network bandwidth on hand, cloud providers can provide end-users (like development groups) with whatever IT resources they need in very short timeframes—usually in an hour or less Productivity – many management tasks can be offloaded to a cloud provider, freeing IT resources for other tasks Cost rationalization – depending on each organization’s business model and computing resource requirements, OPEX-oriented IT consumption models (or, “pay as you go for cloud computing needs”) can save money Universal access – cloud-based hosting for remote office operations can be very attractive for today’s diverse workforce


Additional considerations include: The need to accommodate fast business changes and offerings A rapid alternative to data center upgrades Provisioning of services or functions unique to cloud environments When managed properly, cloud computing can deliver the performance and scalability IT departments need at a reasonable cost.

Although enterprise organizations have taken the lead in hybrid cloud adoption, for most SMB organizations, the question isn’t whether they will adopt a hybrid cloud computing model—but when.
Hybrid computing can help organizations realize cost efficiencies while achieving aggressive performance and reliability goals.

Benefits Some tangible benefits of HCI include: Cost control – stemming from the ability to manage resources more efficiently Data protection Scalability – add resources without a service outage or interruption Mobility – being built on a common virtual machine (VM), the environment can be replicated between platforms VD Networks has experience across on-premise, cloud, hybrid cloud and hyper-converged environments. VD Network’s team of experts can advise your organization through a short Risk and Architecture Assessment or as part of a longer-term relationship within our Virtual CTO program.
Notes on Converged, Hyperconverged, and Hybrid IT Although converged and hyper-converged infrastructure are similar in many senses, converged infrastructure relies upon hardware building blocks; hyper-converged infrastructure is entirely software-defined. The latter is in many aspects more flexible and easily scalable. Combining cloud with on-premises IT can result in unparalleled flexibility and scalability for your business. But the resulting hybrid IT environment introduces complexity that can impact productivity. Hyperconvergence as a software-defined solution offers a cloud-like experience across your entire infrastructure. With software-enabled automation and simplified hybrid cloud management to streamline and speed operations, you can focus on new projects that deliver a competitive edge.
