Innovate faster with the cloud experience everywhere
Apps that can easily move to the cloud already have. Meanwhile, two out of every three apps remain on-premises due to issues such as data gravity, sovereignty, compliance, cost, and interdependencies with other systems. This leaves enterprises caught in the middle of old and new, struggling to reach their transformation goals within a complex dual IT operating environment.

Common questions customers ask about Hybrid Cloud
-
Can everything be moved to cloud? Where should my apps and data live?
Every company is different, and every app has its own set of considerations that inform where it should be placed. General factors include performance, latency, risk, data needs, network connections, architectural considerations, and security.
With the HPE Right Mix Advisor (RMA) approach from HPE Pointnext, you can determine the best-fit application destinations for your preferred combination of public and private resources.

Is now the right time to move to cloud? Are we ready?
Most businesses have realized that their flexibility, speed, and ability to adapt to emerging market trends in coming years will depend on adopting a successful cloud strategy. At the same time, the need to get cloud right, and to not disrupt business-critical functions in the process, weighs heavily on those who will be responsible for implementing a cloud-native approach. HPE can help assess your business’s cloud readiness and mitigate any gaps.

How can I calculate the financial costs and benefits of moving to cloud?
The business value of cloud is more about agility and utilization than any other cost consideration. Traditionally, high utilization reduces IT spend, but limits agility and negatively impacts innovation and business growth.
Cloud provides the ability to provision and de-provision nearly unlimited resources as needed with complete control. Moving from the standard 20% to near 100% utilization provides significant cost advantages and even greater value in the ability to quickly solve business problems without waiting for software and hardware procurement and installation.
In addition to this, moving to cloud typically produces both hard and soft cost savings. Examples of hard cost savings include reduced spending on infrastructure and operational costs. Soft savings include increased developer productivity, decreased human error, ability to change business process quickly, and increased customer satisfaction.Related resources

Are “IT consumption” models a good thing or a gimmick?
Paying only for the resources you use, along with the ability to quickly provision and de-provision resources, gives you valuable flexibility. Your business can avoid costly over provisioning, consume the latest technologies without “ripping and replacing” data center infrastructure, and give staff the ability to experiment with new products and solutions in a low-risk, low-cost manner.
-
How do we prevent cloud costs from skyrocketing?
Ensuring that apps are optimized for their environments is a good first step to avoiding unexpected costs. Maintaining visibility across your entire IT estate, as you can with HPE GreenLake Central, can also help you stay on top of what you’re spending and why.
