멀티 클라우드 대 하이브리드 클라우드: 차이점, 이점 및 전략

Is your enterprise organization taking advantage of a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud strategy?

According to Gartner Group, over 75% of mid-size and large organizations will have adopted a hybrid or multi-cloud strategy by 2021. What’s most critical for your enterprise is how to turn that strategy into a bottom-line reality.

Multi-Cloud vs. Hybrid Cloud: What’s the Difference?

At first glance hybrid cloud and multi-cloud may sound the same.

Multi-cloud is a solution for customers looking to work across more than one cloud provider to distribute its workload and data across multiple cloud storage technologies and infrastructure providers.

Hybrid cloud is a blending of two models: running some applications in the public cloud and running other applications on-premises or in a private cloud.

The Benefits of Multi-Cloud vs. Hybrid Cloud Strategies

Companies often choose a multi-cloud path to gain resiliency and improve system stability.

Multi-cloud strategies let an organization distribute its technology capabilities and ensure applications perform better and are more available. With a multi-cloud approach, enterprises choose cloud providers in different regions to best meet their particular goals, such as balancing user load or reducing system fail-over.

Other benefits of a multi-cloud strategy include:

The benefits of hybrid cloud strategies are similar.

By placing some applications and technologies in public clouds and some in a more managed environment, organizations gain flexibility, resilience and more control over costs. Common benefits of running technologies in public clouds include ease of deployment, scalability and automated management.

For example, customer-facing web applications and sales tools might be a perfect fit for a public cloud deployment. Whereas other applications – like mission-critical or financial systems – may run on-premises or in a private cloud for better privacy, data security and control. However, those differences are starting to blend more and more each year.
