Hybrid Cloud Storage
What is hybrid cloud storage?
Hybrid cloud storage is a data storage solution that combines on-premises storage (such as local servers or edge devices) with cloud-based storage. This approach allows businesses to keep frequently accessed or sensitive data on-site while using the cloud for scalable, long-term storage and backup. Hybrid cloud storage improves flexibility, enhances security, and optimizes costs by balancing local speed with cloud reliability. It is commonly used in security systems, where critical footage can be stored locally for quick access while archived recordings are securely backed up in the cloud.

Why is hybrid cloud storage important?
Hybrid cloud storage is important because it offers a balance of speed, security, and scalability for data management. By combining on-premises storage with cloud storage, businesses can access critical data quickly while ensuring long-term backups remain secure and cost-effective. In security systems, hybrid cloud storage allows for fast local video retrieval while using the cloud for off-site backup and disaster recovery, reducing the risk of data loss. It also optimizes bandwidth usage by storing frequently accessed data locally and sending less critical files to the cloud. This flexibility makes hybrid cloud storage a reliable, efficient, and scalable solution for businesses managing large amounts of video and other data.
