Hybrid Cloud

The right balance between control, flexibility, and scalability for organizations with a mature IT environment. For organizations with a mature IT environment, the question today is rarely “cloud or on-premise?”. The real question is: which solution best fits which workload, and why?

Hybrid Cloud allows for the use of different infrastructure solutions side by side, within one coherent IT architecture.


Tricore helps organizations make those choices consciously, substantiated, and manageable.

What do we mean by Hybrid Cloud?

Hybrid Cloud is not a product and not a migration goal in itself.


It is an architectural model in which different infrastructure solutions work together in an integrated manner.




One coherent IT landscape




Central management and security




Different forms of infrastructure




Tailored to business, risk, and cost



On-premise environments

 Maximum control in your own environment


In this solution, the infrastructure runs entirely on-site at the customer, in their own server room or technical environment.


 Low latency is crucial
 Applications are not cloud-ready
 Specific hardware needed
 Local connections
 Data must be locally available

Benefits:

  • Full control over hardware and data
  • Fixed and predictable costs
  • Immediate availability for local applications




 Private Cloud

 Control, availability, and compliance


With this, we provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) on our own hardware or via colocation (customer's hardware) in Belgian data centers.


 High availability is a requirement
 Taking care of data center and infrastructure
 Legislation and data location are important
 Central business-critical workloads

Benefits:

  • Clear agreements regarding data location
  • Better auditability and compliance
  • Higher redundancy than on-premise setup
  • Scalability without own server room


 Public Cloud

 Flexibility and scalability


Public Cloud is used for workloads where scalability, speed, and cloud-native services provide added value.


 Backup and disaster recovery
 Test and development environments
 Fluctuating workloads
 Specific integrations

Benefits:

  • Rapid scalability
  • Pay-as-you-go model
  • Higher redundancy than on-premise setup
  • Access to innovative cloud services

Legislation and data location as adetermining factor​

For many organizations, the choice between these solutions is not purely technical.


The following factors play an important role:


  • GDPR
  • Sector-specific regulations
  • Contractual obligations
  • Audit and traceability requirements

In this context, the Private Cloud solution offers additional guarantees:


1.

Data remains within
Belgium

2.

Infrastructure is 
dedicated

3.

Responsibilities are 
clearly defined

One management and security model across all solutions​

Whichever solution is chosen:

Hybrid Cloud only works when management and security are consistent.


Tricore provides:

Central monitoring
Uniform patching and configuration monitoring
Consistent security policies
Clear responsibilities

Here, Tricore Pro-Active forms the foundation for follow-up and management.

Hybrid Cloud is not a final destination

Hybrid Cloud is not a temporary phase, but for many organizations a lasting model.

​

The IT environment evolves along with:

  • Organizational growth
  • Application roadmaps
  • Security requirements


Where this approach makes a difference

Hybrid Cloud gives IT teams the flexibility to make the right choice per workload, without compromising on control or coherence. Instead of working with isolated environments, a coherent IT landscape emerges where on-premise, private, and public cloud work seamlessly together.

Thanks to centralized management, uniform security policies, and consistent monitoring, the entire environment remains clear and manageable. IT managers retain control over data, performance, and compliance, while also being able to respond to new needs such as scalability, integrations, or cloud-native applications.

Hybrid Cloud translates into an IT environment that grows with the organization, without the need for constant major decisions or investments. By choosing the right infrastructure for each application, an optimal balance between cost, risk, and flexibility is achieved.

This model offers more certainty in terms of compliance and data location, while also allowing for quick adjustments in the face of growth or change. The result is a forward-looking IT strategy that not only supports but also actively contributes to the continuity and agility of the organization.
