Why use Hybrid Data Storage?

Hybrid data store refers to a data storage method that employs the storage of data on both local server space and in cloud servers. It mixes the advantages of local storage of data with the advantages provided by the storage of data in the cloud. The provider equips the user with an appliance; this can be either physical hardware or web based software extension that provides access and control of remote storage facilities. Through the use of access transparency, the implementation of the solution appears to be a single entity. This means that the data is accessed as if it were in a single local location. 

By employing column database, which is a database management system that stores data in tables as cross sections of a column instead of rows of data in relational structure the latency times, are reduced. This results in low latency, and thereby eases access and control of database, especially where such are extraordinarily large in quantity. Hybrid data store and column database together provide easy data control and organization by enabling the data to be rotated between local and remote storage depending on the rates of access and usage. This is meant to ensure that frequently accessed data is held in an easily accessible and local location.

Advantages of this system are:        

• Data security is enhanced. The hosting provider equips the servers with adequate security solutions that are meant to protect the data stored by preventing the access interface from being accessed by unauthorized individuals and encryption of the data being transferred. Furthermore, this automatically creates data redundancies that provide back up for all data on multiple servers. Data is not stored in a single location but rather in a multiplicity of servers in separate locations and is, therefore, protected from loss, sustaining data integrity.

• Hybrid data storage incorporating columnar databases reduces latency time. This is the amount of time it takes for transmission of data or other response from the storage facility. Because the data that are frequently used or urgently needed is moved into local storage, the response times are faster. The appliance providing the interface manages this in a seamless manner.

• Hybrid solutions are highly reliable. By using a hybrid solution, you can create a system that enables continuous service delivery enabling your business to perform continuously without service interruptions. This ensures that data packets are transferred in a manner that keeps the data safe and intact.
