Private and public clouds have each their advantages. Our Hybrid Cloud is a perfect combination of both models. A hybrid cloud is composed of a private zone which is in fact an independent private cloud and a public zone which is a dedicated environment in our public cloud. The private zone provides advantages such as security, physical separation and possibility of installation on customer premises, while the public zone allows for instant scaling to handle peak loads in a cost-effective manner. In case of a private zone installed on customer premises, it may be connected to the public zone using a dedicated link or a virtual tunnel across the internet. Both zones are managed in a coherent way, covered by a common SLA and contract.
