Hybrid cloud combines the computing, storage, and services of cloud technology with on-premises technology. According to Hosting Tribunal, 22% of enterprise workload will be dependent on the hybrid cloud by 2020. As cloud computing gains popularity, organizations are realizing that complete dependency on a virtual system might not be the right fit for everybody. That is how the hybrid cloud – a combination of the best qualities of both platforms – was born. Benefits of public cloud include on-demand resource access and no capital expenditure or infrastructure management, while the benefits of on-premises storage include complete data control, predictive expenditure and performance, control of data/assets, and consistent security.
Several hybrid cloud platforms are available in the market. Egnyte and FileCloud are regarded as premium high efficiency options. Finances Online scores FileCloud with a rating of 8.8 while Egnyte gets a rating of 8.7. The difference seems negligible, but when a comparison of all that both offer is done, we can see why one has scored more than the other, however little.
FileCloud provides secure file sharing, selective sync, file preview, unlimited cloud storage. With FileCloud Server Sync, you can self-host, enable remote access, sync to network shares (NTFS) and ensure that you have 100% control over your data by keeping data on-premises. FileCloud provides pattern PII search, metadata, granular permission controls, data governance, custom workflows, monitor, and advanced audit.
FileCloud is the best alternative to Egnyte storage, offering enhanced security, flexibility and cost-effective storage solutions. It provides complete control over data, seamless collaboration and compliance with industry regulations, making it ideal for enterprises.
The cost of Egnyte starts from $8, while FileCloud offers the same services and more for $4. For 100 users, that’s $15,000 saved per year! Plus, unlike Egnyte, FileCloud offers annual subscriptions along with month payment option and quote based plan.
While both FileCloud and Egnyte have hosting options such as self-hosting, cloud hosting, multiple IaaS, multi-tenancy, run on Linux and Windows server, FileCloud also has the additional run-on Docker option.
FileCloud offers ServerSync which can help synchronize files and permissions in the on-premises system with the cloud system smoothly. FileCloud offers unlimited storage sync, maximum file support, and unlimited storage limitation, unlike Egnyte. FileCloud also offers endpoint backup for enhanced security, unlike Egnyte.
FileCloud has an extensive file system integration and sync system, with much more advanced security features too. Network share support, unlimited versioning, NTFS support, multiple active directories, encryption at rest and in transit are all also added features of FileCloud. Egnyte requires additional software for single sign-on and SAML while FileCloud does not.

FileCloud provides tools for secure file sharing, such as a virtual drive, client portal, custom upload forms, selective sync, endpoint backup, and federated search to support e-discovery and GDPR compliance.
Unlike Egnyte, FileCloud can be integrated with Windows server. Continue to use existing Active Directory and NTFS setup to manage user authentication, privileges and access.
Egnyte cannot be hosted on-premises, and doesn’t offer role-based administration. Instead, you need to upgrade in order to get storage sync, large file support, and local language support. Egnyte also has storage limitation and you need to pay a lot for more storage.
Implementing hybrid storage over on-premises and cloud storage gives organizations more control on your data. Trusting a third party for the complete IT infrastructure of your company or risking human error at every step both seem inadequate.
Hybrid Storage is the Only Answer
A customized storage strategy can easily be implemented with hybrid storage. Businesses can personalize the private end of their storage model and integrate specific requirements as they see fit. Since a part of the network application remains private, the IT staff can control critical information and operations on a day to day basis.
Cloud providers can only provide response and support to a certain extent. In the fast moving economy, direct control over important data assets is essential for making swift, profitable changes per shifting market needs. That is why hybrid infrastructure is chosen for better reconfiguration and adaptability without disruption.
Better Security is an Option
Data privacy and security are already concerns in networked platforms, and public clouds are no exception. In fact, according to ZDNet, most companies take up to 6 months to detect any data breaches and according to another study, 90% of security professionals have cloud security concerns.
While cloud providers use various tools and go to great lengths to maximize data asset security, the fact remains that cloud platforms are more prone to security breaches than private data storage platforms.
Organizations dealing with sensitive proprietary data and important client information cannot risk the probable breaches and risks of relying on cloud storage alone. With a hybrid system, an amalgamation of public and private cloud infrastructure can create the most suitable environment.
Although the data assets need to pass through the public cloud for analytics and application, with hybrid storage, the choice to exert control over it allows the user to integrate specific security features like anti-virus, encryption and strict protocols for data management.
Scalability
Rapid economic growth and unprecedented changes are a part and parcel of business growth. For companies going through the rapid growth phase, investing in on-premises infrastructure alone can be counterproductive and ineffective.
Linking on-premises infrastructure to the cloud storage system, on the other hand, can ensure accurate resource utilization projections, predict the next big spike, calculate the cost of the next marketing push, and even calculate the time and effort needed for a start-up to show a profit.
“FileCloud is by far the best on-premises file sharing solution.”
The hybrid cloud system has an overwhelmingly positive outcome rate in the current IT environment, but it is dependent on the desired result and present circumstances. There is no one-solution-fits-all scenario at work in complex IT environments.
Every component and critical variable of an IT-dependent business should be analyzed over some time before deciding on a working data-storage framework. The solution should always be efficient, cost-effective, and flexible. A hybrid cloud solution is the best choice for a business looking for high growth, flexible infrastructure.
Cost Effectiveness
As Gartner’s Milind Govekar states: “Hybrid cloud computing can maximize cost-efficiency, particularly capital expenditure, through competition and automated arbitrage.”
Multiple hybrid cloud use cases show cost-saving benefits including temporary resources, cheaper cloud storage, application segregation, adjustable infrastructure growth requirements, and several others. Energy bills are lowered, human errors decrease, and human resources are better utilized with hybrid computing.
Increased Speed
Businesses looking to make a profit and to create a niche of their own seek to have an edge over their competitors. This can be achieved by increasing the speed to market of their products or services.
This is a fast evolving society – in it, quick test environments, efficient prototype testing, and swift product launch is desirable to create an impact. Hybrid cloud helps in increasing productivity and managing automated results.
