Hybrid Cloud Solutions
Simplicity and Consistent Control of Your IT Environment
A hybrid cloud strategy encompasses both the infrastructure—combining data center, edge, and cloud environments—and the cloud-based management applications used to control it.
As IT departments continue to combine the best features of public and private clouds, a robust hybrid architecture has become a key investment for many businesses. The challenge is avoiding added complexity as environments expand. Scale Computing solutions help you connect and manage these environments through centralized orchestration and consistent control, enabling you to support hybrid workload architectures with the performance, visibility, and governance IT teams need.
The Scale Computing portfolio supports running and managing services where data is created and used, with local resiliency and automated updates, so teams can standardize operations across sites while adapting the architecture to their organizational needs.
Benefits of Hybrid Cloud Deployment Models
Seamlessly scale your computing resources based on your specific needs, so you can quickly adapt to changing workloads, efficiently handle peak demands, and optimize resource allocation.
Critical data and applications can be securely stored and managed on the on-premises infrastructure, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and providing peace of mind.
A hybrid cloud architecture helps optimize IT spending by dynamically allocating resources and minimizing upfront capital expenses.
Why Hybrid Cloud is Critical to Your Business
CAPEX or OPEX Isn't One Size Fits All
Companies want the stability and flexibility of both.Hybrid cloud infrastructure provides flexibility for your IT team that wasn’t available before - to control their costs. With the ease of scalability for on-premises infrastructure, quick VM creation and migration capabilities for dev-ops, and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) options in the public cloud your IT departments have the ability to choose the right fit for your organization's immediate needs.
- Flexibility for data storage and application growth for critical on-premises application
- Quickly increase productivity resources for DevOps, remote workers, and application testing
- Provide multiple disaster recovery locations and options to minimize or eliminate downtime
Comprehensive Data Privacy and Analytics
The solutions your industry requires.As public cloud adoption has increased, many organizations still hesitate to move all data off-site due to privacy, liability, and security concerns. With a hybrid cloud approach, you can keep sensitive data and critical workloads closer to where they’re created and used, while securely connecting to cloud services for the analytics and innovation you need.
- Keep sensitive data and critical workloads on-premises or at the edge with centralized control and secure, policy-driven connectivity across environments.
- Send approved, anonymized, or aggregated datasets to private/public cloud for big data analytics and AI-driven insights, while maintaining visibility and orchestration across every layer.
Seamless Management
Unified Control, Simplified OperationsSC//HyperCore™ Hypervisor delivers centralized management by leveraging SC//Fleet™ Manager edge orchestration software as a cloud-based control plane to seamlessly control and monitor on-site infrastructure across all your distributed data centers and edge locations. Features like Advanced Location Management (ALM) simplify oversight of large-scale deployments, reducing operational complexity and standardizing operations across your hybrid environment from a single pane of glass.
- Reduce tool sprawl and operational complexity by managing all environments from a single, intuitive platform.
- Leverage web-based management designed for geographically distributed and edge operations.
- Simplify ongoing maintenance and administration with centralized control and automated, consistent updates across the entire infrastructure.
- In disruptive events, centralized monitoring and orchestration help teams identify issues quickly, prioritize recovery actions, and restore services with less manual effort.
Azure Integration
Flexible, Resilient Azure Hybrid CloudThe SC//HyperCore platform integrates seamlessly with Azure services to create a flexible, resilient hybrid cloud. You can manage on-premises VMs and containerized workloads using Azure Arc for consistent governance and security policies across your hybrid environment. Extend your storage capacity by automatically tiering older files to Azure cloud storage via Azure File Sync, and secure access to your systems with centralized authentication through Azure AD.
- Manage on-premises virtual machines and containerized workloads with Azure Arc.
- Extend effective storage capacity using Azure File Sync to tier older files to cloud storage.
- Secure access with centralized authentication via Azure AD, including support for MFA.
- Utilize Azure Application Proxy for secure, remote access to the web-based UI and other on-premises applications.
Centralized Management for Large-Scale Hybrid Deployments
Consistent Hybrid Cloud Orchestration for the Distributed EdgeSC//Reliant™ Manager is a purpose-built solution that delivers consistent orchestration across thousands of distributed sites. The platform’s design provides hardware- and cloud-agnostic flexibility, allowing the multi-tenant management plane to be hosted on AWS or the public cloud of your choice. This ensures secure, automated application delivery at scale while eliminating vendor lock-in and adapting to any operational environment.
- Built on a cloud-hosted, multi-tenant service (commonly run on AWS)
- Customers use their own cloud-hosted management plane, typically within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) tenant, deployed on AWS or a public cloud of their choice
- Management plane runs critical, centralized services for the entire fleet, including:
- Centralized Orchestration (e.g., Puppet) for consistent configuration and compliance.
- Observability (e.g., Sensu) for fleet-wide health monitoring and diagnostics.
- Edge VPN Services for secure connectivity
- Management plane can also host other centralized services and workloads, such as data collection, to further simplify edge operations.
Simplified Networking Across Multiple Sites
Joining cloud instances with your local networkHybrid environments often span multiple sites, remote locations, and cloud services—making it harder to maintain consistent connectivity, segmentation, and visibility. Scale Computing solutions support hybrid workload architectures with secure, policy-driven connectivity and centralized orchestration, helping you standardize operations and maintain performance, visibility, and control across every layer.
For organizations that want deeper network operations support, SC//AcuVigil™ Networking adds a live, centralized view of network health with drill-down diagnostics, PCI-compliant remote access, customizable alerts, and resilience features like encrypted remote sessions and WAN failover, helping keep environments online and protected.
- Secure, policy-driven connectivity across edge, data center, and cloud
- Centralized orchestration for consistent operations across sites
- Optional: centralized visibility, encrypted remote sessions, and WAN failover
