Enabling a Hybrid Cloud

Take advantage of external cloud services today, by extending your internal cloud with CariNet utilizing the AppLogic™ Hybrid Cloud solutions. With a Hybrid Cloud enabled, service providers can utilize 3rd party Cloud Providers in a full or partial (cloud burst) manner, in order to supplement internal cloud capabilities and increase the flexibility of computing.

With a Hybrid Cloud enabled, service providers enjoy the following benefits:

  • More flexible computing capacity
  • Continued reduction in capital expenses (CAPEX) through purchase avoidance
  • Significant reduction in IT operating expenses (OPEX)
    • Reduced need for IT management
    • Lower direct hardware support costs such as utility expenses for power and cooling

Solution Description

The Hybrid Cloud enables a flexible, on-demand approach to satisfying computing requirements for service providers who are not ready to invest in a full-scale data center upgrade or want to avoid significant new hardware purchases. This solution greatly reduces up-front capital expenses and offers low-cost, unified monthly billing.

What’s Included

The Hybrid Cloud offering consists of infrastructure management and systems management extensions that allow service providers to build computing resources in a public cloud. Essentially, the Hybrid Cloud takes the functionality of the Private Cloud and delivers this in a service-based paradigm outside the corporate firewall.
