Hybrid cloud management

Using cloud native services

Use cloud native services that are designed for hybrid architectures, like IBM Cloud Satellite for unified management across environments, IBM Cloud Pak for Data for integrated data management, and Power Virtual Server for the flexibility to deploy workloads to the cloud or on-premises.

Supporting multi-cloud

Prioritize an infrastructure that supports integration with multiple cloud providers. IBM Cloud supports a multi-cloud strategy with IBM Cloud Satellite, which allows consistent management across different clouds.

Managing hybrid access

Ensure that security policies are consistent across all environments by using IAM solutions that span on-premises and cloud resources.

Unifying monitoring and management

Use a single platform to monitor and manage resources across on-premises and cloud environments. Use tools like IBM Cloud Satellite, which provides centralized management, monitoring, and control for hybrid environments.

Optimizing workloads

Monitor usage patterns and optimize workloads for performance and cost. Use cost analysis to analyze spending and identify inefficiencies. Classify and place workloads based on their requirements, like latency, data residency, compliance, or performance.
