Compliance Issues When Transitioning to a Hybrid IT Infrastructure

February 15, 2019 Blog

Companies moving to a hybrid infrastructure for data centers face many complex challenges, especially when it comes to security and compliance requirements, so collaboration and preparation are key elements in ensuring a smooth transition.

Hybrid architectures can be supported by integrated solutions that create a seamless environment between existing infrastructure resources and newer cloud deployments. Such solutions allow organizations to regulate workloads and user access to fully support security, governance and compliance requirements.

The Time for Innovation is Now

Organizations carrying out a systematic review of their data infrastructures are faced with a difficult choice. Should they improve their systems only to comply and satisfy requirements, or should they change to innovate? One would argue that being “good enough” isn’t actually good enough, as customers place so much emphasis on the security of their data. Companies should capitalize on the excellent opportunity to take stock of what they have on their networks, as well as the policies that govern them.

Enterprises are warming to the idea of the hybrid cloud as a solution that is secure, cost effective and suitable for mobile workforces. General perception used to be that businesses ran on on-premise clouds and used public clouds for application development. Now we’re seeing increased buy-in, with concerns around integration and performance put to rest.

Using this type of architecture in a hybrid infrastructure allows for sensitive data sets to remain on-site. Meanwhile, the less important data can be archived to the public cloud. There’s also the benefit of auditability and reliable control and management functionality. Regardless of where it sits, data can be managed using a set of tools and policies designed for hybrid platforms, tools such as CSP’s Protect-X®.
