Characteristics of hybrid clouds

1. Flexibility: Hybrid cloud provides unprecedented flexibility, allowing enterprises to freely run applications and workloads in different cloud environments. This flexibility enables enterprises to flexibly choose public cloud or private cloud according to actual needs, or use them in combination.

2. Scalability: The hybrid cloud model allows enterprises to expand according to business needs. For example, when an enterprise needs to process a large amount of data or perform large-scale calculations, it can choose to use the computing resources of the public cloud. When sensitive or private data is involved, you can choose to store the data in a private cloud.

3. Security: Private cloud provides higher security, because data is stored in the enterprise's own data center, which can better control the access and use of data. The public cloud has advantages in computing resources and storage capacity, and can provide additional computing power when needed.

4. Cost performance: Through the hybrid cloud model, enterprises can choose whether to use public cloud or private cloud according to actual needs, thus better controlling costs. In addition, because both public and private clouds can enjoy resources, they can use resources more effectively and further reduce costs.

5. Collaboration: Hybrid cloud can also achieve collaboration between different cloud platforms. For example, data analysis of private cloud and machine learning of public cloud can be combined to achieve higher-level data analysis.

Application fields of hybrid cloud:

1. Financial industry: The financial industry requires extremely high data security and reliability, so hybrid cloud has become a very popular choice. By storing sensitive data in private cloud and using the computing resources of public cloud for large-scale data processing and analysis, the financial industry can better protect the security of customer data and transaction information, and at the same time improve the efficiency of data processing and analysis.

2. Health care industry: The health care industry needs to process a large number of patient data and diagnosis results, which are very sensitive and confidential. The use of hybrid cloud can help medical institutions to better protect the safety of patient data, while providing faster diagnosis results and better medical services.

3. Retail industry: The retail industry needs to process and analyze a large amount of customer data in order to achieve accurate marketing and personalized recommendation. Using hybrid cloud can help retailers better protect the security of customer data, while providing faster processing speed and more accurate analysis results.

4. Manufacturing industry: The manufacturing industry needs to process a lot of production data and supply chain information, and needs to analyze and process them in time. Using hybrid cloud can help manufacturers to better protect the security of production data, while providing faster analysis and processing speed to achieve more efficient manufacturing and supply chain management.

5. Government agencies: Government agencies need to deal with a large number of citizen data and government documents, which requires high security and reliability. Using hybrid cloud can help government agencies to better protect the security of citizens' data and improve the efficiency of data processing and file management.
