On-Premise and Cloud: create reliable hybrid environments

Technological innovation does not stand still, and companies need infrastructures that keep pace with it. The hybrid strategy, which combines on-premise and cloud, makes it possible to take advantage of the best of each environment to boost agility, security, and scalability. The challenge is to design a model that not only works today, but is ready to evolve tomorrow.

The challenge of modern infrastructures

Large organizations can no longer choose between "everything in the cloud" or "everything on-premise." Reality is setting in: hybrid models are the norm.

• Critical loads remain on-premises due to control, compliance, or latency requirements.
• Flexible and scalable processes migrate to the cloud, taking advantage of the elasticity of the pay-per-use model.
• Distributed delegations demand agile and resilient access to central systems.

The challenge is to design robust, secure, and scalable architectures that combine the best of each world.

On-Premise: when control is essential

The on-premise model continues to be key in sectors where:

Our Specialized Partners design tailor-made infrastructures that offer redundancy, advanced virtualization, and 24x7 support, guaranteeing continuity even in critical loads.

Cloud: flexibility and immediate scalability

The cloud delivers what on-premises cannot:

Elasticity

Ability to scale up or down in minutes

Pay per use

Cost efficiency, especially during peak demand periods

Global accessibility

Immediate availability for users and distributed locations

From Unikal, we promote hybrid models that take advantage of the cloud as a layer of flexibility, without giving up control or security.

The key: integration and continuity

The real challenge of a hybrid strategy is not in choosing between on-premise or cloud, but in how to integrate them so that they work as a single ecosystem:

Hybrid architecture design

Identify which loads remain on-premises and which migrate to the cloud.

Connectivity and communications

Ensure bandwidth, minimum latency, and redundancy.

Business continuity

Consistent data replication, backup, and Disaster Recovery plans in both environments.

Integrated security

Unified access, encryptio,n and monitoring policies.

Data governance

Ensure traceability, regulatory compliance, and control over information.

Practical guide: steps to define your hybrid strategy

Conclusion

Hybrid infrastructures are the natural answer to today's business demands. It is not a matter of choosing between on-premise and cloud, but of intelligently combining both models to obtain control, security, and scalability.

With well-designed architectures and the support of ourSpecialized Partners, companies can guarantee a robust model, ready to grow and resilient to any contingency.
