Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid Cloud Offers the Best of Both Worlds.
The Windstream Hosted Solutions Hybrid Cloud is a cloud computing solution that essentially blends and maximizes the best of a multi-tenant cloud and a dedicated environment or colocation environment. With our hybrid cloud, you can cross-connect existing back-end resources such as databases and other supporting applications to the cloud, providing you with greater flexibility.
The hybrid cloud option allows you to leverage Windstream's Cloud for web front-end computing power and other resources like network, firewall, load balancing and web servers. In addition, you can cross connect cloud computing resources directly into your environment to handle overflow situations such as seasonal spikes that require excess compute capacity.
The result is a single, more versatile environment powered out of our enterprise-class data center. Hybrid Cloud is the best fit for businesses with regulatory compliance or other requirements for which they don't want to run their whole application environment in the cloud (for instance, a database that has high throughput, low latency I/O requirements).
If you're interested in cloud but think it's not a fit because of compliance requirements or other application issues, check out the hybrid version of the Windstream Cloud.
