A Hybrid Cloud solution integrates the benefits of both public and private cloud infrastructures, allowing your business to store sensitive data on a secure private cloud while utilising the scalability and cost-effectiveness of public cloud resources for less sensitive applications. This combination ensures that you can optimise your IT operations, improve efficiency, and manage costs effectively while maintaining the highest levels of security where it matters most.

With Citadel Technology’s Hybrid Cloud solutions, you’ll gain:

• Flexibility: Easily scale your IT infrastructure to meet changing business needs.
• Security: Keep sensitive data secure in a private environment while leveraging the public cloud for other operations.
• Cost-effectiveness: Take advantage of the lower cost and scalability of the public cloud while retaining control over critical systems.

Scalability with Control

With a hybrid cloud solution, you can take advantage of the public cloud’s scalability for applications and workloads that need it while keeping mission-critical data and applications securely housed in your private cloud. This flexibility allows your business to scale resources up or down based on demand, without over-investing in expensive private infrastructure.

Cost Management

Citadel Technology’s hybrid cloud solutions provide cost-effective ways to manage your IT environment. You can optimise your spending by using public cloud services for less sensitive operations, while keeping high-security workloads in a private cloud. This allows for more predictable costs and efficient resource allocation, reducing the need for significant capital expenditure on hardware.

Enhanced Security

Security is a top priority for any business, especially when it comes to sensitive data and critical operations. Our hybrid cloud solutions ensure that sensitive information is stored in a secure private cloud environment, while less sensitive workloads benefit from the scalability and flexibility of the public cloud. This ensures your data remains secure while still taking advantage of cloud technology.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Citadel Technology’s hybrid cloud solutions offer robust business continuity and disaster recovery options. By spreading workloads across both public and private cloud environments, we ensure that your critical business operations can continue uninterrupted in the event of a hardware failure or cyber incident. This gives your business the peace of mind that your data is protected, and your systems remain available at all times.

Seamless Integration

We know that transitioning to a hybrid cloud can seem daunting, but Citadel Technology ensures a smooth and seamless integration with your existing systems. Our experienced team will manage the transition, minimising downtime and disruption to your business operations. Whether you’re moving from a purely on-premises infrastructure or looking to expand your cloud capabilities, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Flexible Cloud Infrastructure

Citadel’s hybrid cloud solutions allow you to use a combination of public and private cloud environments. This gives you the flexibility to optimise performance, cost, and security based on your specific needs.

Data Control and Security

We ensure that your sensitive data remains under your control, using private cloud environments with enhanced security measures while leveraging public cloud resources for non-critical tasks.

Public Cloud Integration

We support integration with leading public cloud platforms, including:

• Microsoft Azure & Microsoft 365
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google Cloud & GSuite

This ensures you can take full advantage of the scalability, innovation, and cost savings offered by the major public cloud providers.

Private Cloud Hosting

For mission-critical applications, we provide fully managed private cloud solutions, hosted in secure, high-performance data centres. This ensures that your business retains complete control over its data, with the assurance of high availability and robust disaster recovery options.
