Hybrid Cloud Strategies for
Multi-Site Organizations

Moving your physical servers to a hybrid cloud model? We manage the nationwide transition to ensure zero data loss and minimal downtime for distributed teams.

Modern Cloud Scaling

For multi-site organizations, the "all-in-on-cloud" approach is often less practical than a hybrid model. Whether it's due to massive local files (like CAD or Video), legacy proprietary software, or regulatory requirements, keeping some infrastructure on-premise while leveraging the scalability of the cloud is the gold standard for enterprise IT.

Concerto Networks acts as the bridge for your nationwide cloud migration, ensuring that your transition to Azure, AWS, or a private cloud environment is seamless and data-secure.

1. Legacy Integration: Bridging the On-Prem Gap

Most organizations have legacy hardware—local file servers, specialized database boxes, or physical firewalls—that cannot be abandoned overnight. Hybrid cloud is about making these systems work with modern cloud tools.

• Hybrid Connectivity: We implement Site-to-Site VPNs and ExpressRoute/Direct Connect links to create a permanent, high-speed tunnel between your local branches and your cloud tenant.
• Active Directory Synchronization: Ensure that user accounts, passwords, and permissions are unified across both your physical offices and your cloud applications. One login, everywhere.
• Phased Migration: We don't believe in "big bang" migrations. We move your workloads in phases—starting with non-critical services—to ensure your business operations never stall.

2. Low Latency Access: High-Speed Branch Performance

Distributed teams need to access data as if the server was in the next room, even if it's in a data center 1,000 miles away. Latency is the enemy of productivity.

• Edge Computing & Caching: We deploy local caching servers in your branch offices. These devices store frequently used cloud data locally, providing "instant" access to the team while syncing changes to the cloud in the background.
• SD-WAN Optimization: Intelligent routing ensures that cloud traffic takes the fastest path possible, automatically switching to backup circuits if your primary fiber line experiences jitter or packet loss.
• Localized Traffic Breakouts: Instead of backhauling all internet traffic to a central headquarters, we implement local internet breakouts, significantly speeding up access to SaaS tools like Office 365 and Zoom.

3. Security Posture: Unified Policy Management

The biggest risk in a hybrid model is "policy drift"—where your cloud security is tight, but your local office security is lax. We unify these environments into a single security posture.

• Zero Trust Architecture (ZTNA): We shift the mindset from "trust the local network" to "never trust, always verify." Every user and device must be authenticated before accessing data, regardless of where they are physically located.
• Centralized Logging & SIEM: We funnel logs from your cloud environment and your local server rooms into a single dashboard. Our Detroit-based help desk monitors this for anomalies nationwide.
• Data Sovereignty & Encryption: Ensure your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. For organizations with compliance needs (CMMC, HIPAA), we ensure your hybrid model meets all regulatory requirements for data location and access.
