Cloud? On-premise? Data Centre? With Hybrid IT, you can have it all

Transitioning your IT to the cloud requires very careful consideration. Do you need a public or private cloud, or a combination of both? Do you want to transition all of your applications to the cloud, or would you prefer to retain some on-premise applications? How will you minimise risk, maintain security, and manage it all on an ongoing basis?

Why Hybrid IT?

Today, to support a range of diverse workloads, more and more businesses are establishing a hybrid IT infrastructure. By retaining some apps on premise and others in the cloud, a hybrid IT environment has the potential to deliver vital cost-savings, mobility and flexibility.

However, for IT staff, maintaining a disparate and diverse infrastructure can also be incredibly difficult. Faced with a complicated mix of solutions, devices, refresh cycles and management processes, IT staff can spend the majority of their time simply keeping things running.

The cloud is a great option for many of our clients who value flexibility and scalability. However, it may not offer the level of security or compliance some business’s need. It may also be hard, and costly, to retrieve cloud-based data when needed.

With a Managed Hybrid IT service from Brennan IT, you can function more productively and effectively, using a combination of IT that’s most ideally suited to your business.

We work closely with you to determine your needs from the outset, and we recommend a managed service to suit your workplace. We can help you migrate your services to the cloud, at your pace, utilising our proven expertise to minimise risk and make the process as streamlined as possible. Explore the resources on this page to help understand what might be the right solution for your business.
