Gain flexibility with a hybrid cloud solution
Rand Group will develop a hybrid cloud solution that combines on-premise servers with one or more cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, to allow your business the flexibility to move workloads between cloud solutions as needs and costs fluctuate. Build on your own terms and scale as you are ready by operating hybrid seamlessly.
Solve cloud challenges with a hybrid cloud solution
A hybrid cloud solution is highly valuable for organizations with dynamic workloads, large amounts of data to process, or a large mix of IT services. It is an effective way to align IT priorities with business needs, and is great option for businesses with existing on-premise infrastructure already in place. Combining the power of Microsoft Azure’s cloud platform with your dedicated servers can reduce costs and increase control over your data, applications, network, and security.
Rand Group’s team of data scientists, engineers, and consultants will help identify your business objectives then craft a cloud solution that combines your existing infrastructure with Azure. Our team will work with you to select the ideal environment for each dataset, application, and more, and create a seamless experience between both solutions that is easy to govern. From getting your stakeholders on board with a hybrid cloud solution to resolving workload and infrastructure complexities and implementing new processes, Rand Group will help you with full digital transformation.
Benefits of multiple cloud options in one solution
A hybrid cloud model provides your business with multiple options so that stakeholders can pick an environment that best suits each individual use case and IT has more control over data.
Control and optimize cloud costs
Manage expenses by continuing to use your on-premise storage and only pay for cloud space when needed, with the flexibility to increase or decrease resources at the click of a button.

Public vs. private cloud
Private cloud is any solution dedicated for use by a single organization, where data center resources may be located on-premise or operated by a third party vendor off-site. Public cloud refers to cloud computing in which services are delivered via the internet, where the vendor is responsible for developing, managing, and maintaining the pool of computing resources shared between multiple tenants.
While private cloud gives companies more control and security, it can come with a high total cost of ownership. On the other hand, public cloud requires no capital expenditures, is highly scalable, and affordable due to cost agility of only paying for what you need. However, the lack of control into infrastructure and lower security than private cloud is a negative for some companies.
Benefits of a hybrid cloud solution
Combining both private and public cloud features, a hybrid cloud solution offers the best of both worlds. From the financial sector to the health care industry, hybrid cloud environments have proven to be effective at not only improving computing and storage power, but also optimizing the scarce resource of physical space.
Benefits to a hybrid cloud solution:
- Flexibility to distribute workloads based on security, performance, and cost requirements
- Distributing services across multiple data centers results in maximum reliability
- Scale with security by keeping certain workloads on private infrastructure while easily adding more public cloud capacity
