Why hybrid computing is the future of enterprise IT Ops

Welcome to the ITOM Insider!

As AI, quantum, and edge computing usher in a new era of IT operations, hybrid computing is transforming the way organizations manage complex workloads and drive innovation.

Traditional computing, which has powered technological progress for decades, is reaching its limits. Emerging technologies like quantum computing are stepping in to extend capabilities—but they come with availability and cost challenges. That's where hybrid computing changes the game.

According to Gartner, hybrid computing blends classic and next-gen technologies to optimize performance, cost efficiency, and energy use by orchestrating workloads across diverse environments—like CPUs, GPUs, quantum processors, and AI ASICs

A global manufacturer runs its core production and supply chain systems on secure on-premises servers for control and compliance. At the same time, it uses an industry cloud platform to optimize product life cycle management, predictive maintenance, and inventory processes. This hybrid approach enables:

• Optimized operational efficiency: Combining on-premises control over critical systems with cloud-based optimization tools enhances overall productivity, enabling real-time decision-making and predictive maintenance.
• High complexity management: Hybrid computing environments can tackle optimization challenges involving high-dimensional data sets and complex simulations with reduced memory and energy demands.
• Interoperability: A robust orchestration layer enables workload distribution across multiple computing environments. This ensures that complex processes such as AI workloads run where they are most efficient.
• Cost-effective resource allocation: Running core systems in house ensures security and compliance, while the cloud platform scales to handle specialized tasks like product life cycle management, reducing infrastructure costs.
• Agility and collaboration: The hybrid model facilitates seamless collaboration across departments and external partners using cloud-based tools while maintaining control over sensitive production data on-premises.
• Regulatory compliance and data security: Sensitive production and supply chain data remain securely stored on-premises, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, while the cloud is used for less sensitive tasks like analytics and forecasting.
• Innovation and scalability: The industry cloud platform provides access to advanced technologies, such as machine learning and real-time analytics, driving innovation and enabling scalable growth without compromising security or control.
