Hybrid Hosting Solutions – The Best of Both Worlds

Applied Innovations provides a portfolio of hosting solutions to meet the unique needs of your business, ranging from traditional dedicated server hosting to cloud hosting and everything in between. You may find that the ideal solution for your business might require more than one platform. Enter hybrid hosting solutions, a combination of private cloud servers and physical dedicated servers that offers the high availability of the cloud with the processing power of physical, dedicated servers.

Hybrid hosting is a seamless solution with unrivaled reliability. With a combination of dedicated hosting and cloud hosting, customers gain the advantages of the flexibility of the cloud as well as the security and scalability of traditional hosting (e.g. a combination of cloud web servers and physical SQL servers).

So what types of businesses are good candidates for hybrid hosting? We can create a customized hybrid solution based on the needs of any business. It is a particularly excellent option for those with websites that experience often unpredictable spikes in CPU and memory use. Let’s take ecommerce sites for example. Security and privacy are of the utmost importance, as shoppers must feel safe providing credit card and other sensitive information (physical firewalls and load balancers may be placed in front of servers). This makes a physical server ideal. However, there is also a need for the elastic scale of the cloud in order to take full advantage of the bursts in traffic that can occur during particular seasons (holidays), events or during a sale. With a hybrid hosting solution, there is no need to attempt to predict what your website’s traffic might be months in advance.

Another great use of a combined hosting solution is for clients who need a dedicated server for permanent workloads and would like to use the cloud for temporary or experimental workloads. Generally speaking, if you and/or your clients experience unpredictable traffic surges, as so many businesses do, and wish to retain maximum security of your site, a hybrid hosting solution is the perfect solution to meet all of your needs.

Applied Innovations gives you the freedom to choose the best platform for your needs by joining the power of physical servers with the flexibility of cloud servers into a single hosting solution.
