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.

Generally, users are only required to pay for the services they use, so company costs can decrease dramatically. Furthermore, the scalability associated with public cloud computing ensures your company can access on-­demand resources, as and when they’re needed.
