Hybrid Cloud
Your IT, smartly divided between cloud and datacenter.
The future of IT is hybrid: part of it sits in the cloud, part in your own datacenter. Everything fits together perfectly. It is the foundation under your workplaces and your data, and it is also the basis for everything you want to do with AI. You get the mix that suits your organisation and we keep it in shape, today and in five years' time.
Hybrid sounds simple, until you have to manage it yourself
Your cloud invoice rises every month and nobody can explain exactly what for. Your datacenter is reaching the end of its life and the question of whether to make the leap to the cloud keeps hanging over you. You have a backup, but do you really dare rely on it if things go wrong tomorrow?
Meanwhile your IT sits half on premises and half in the cloud. The overview? It slips through your fingers. Just as you want to roll out your AI, it asks for more computing power than your infrastructure can handle. At the same time you want to keep your costs and data in hand. And then there is the question of where your sensitive data actually sits and who can reach it under foreign legislation.

The best of two worlds
Most tech partners pick one side. One swears by the cloud, the other stays put in the datacenter. At Xylos, infra experts and cloud specialists sit at the same table. The infra experts know your classic infrastructure inside out, the cloud specialists are at home in Azure and cloud-native tech. Together they build an environment that grows with your organisation, stays affordable and protects your data.
A quick migration you regret later? We do not do that. You get a considered architecture that lasts for years. You combine six building blocks depending on your situation. You choose what you need, we make it all work together. From that base you build further on your Modern Workplace and your Data & AI, and you are ready straight away for AI.
Your workloads move to the cloud in a considered way, in the right order and without downtime. With AI-driven analyses we map the costs and risks sharply in advance, so we know which applications are ready for the cloud and which need a refresh first. Your applications stay available while we move, so your teams simply carry on working.
You get a solid Azure foundation with the right structure and tight governance. That keeps your environment from seizing up after a few months on loose configurations or rising costs. You grow on a base that scales with your business and connects smoothly to your workplaces and data environment.
We renew or relocate your own infrastructure to a tight plan. Every window is aligned with your operations, so the impact stays minimal. Your hardware stays active until the moment the new environment is ready.
We set up your recovery plan and test it in practice. You know in advance how quickly you are back on your feet after an incident and which data you get back. That turns an outage into an inconvenience rather than a crisis.
Your cloud consumption becomes transparent and we cut what you pay unnecessarily. Every month you see where your money goes, per project or per department. That keeps your invoice predictable, without giving up performance.
Your systems stay secure and up to date to a fixed rhythm. We follow up on updates and vulnerabilities and deal with them before they become a problem. The management lands with us, not on your own team's plate.
Sovereignty: you decide where your data sits
Your data ends up outside Europe faster than you think, and legislation such as the Cloud Act gives foreign governments access to that data. On top of that comes your dependence on a handful of large cloud players. Sovereignty has several levels, so every workload calls for its own assessment.
What you get from us is above all advice.
Together we map which data and applications fall under GDPR, NIS2 and data residency rules.
Per workload we determine which level of control is needed, without losing your flexibility.
Applications that belong in the public cloud are set up in European Azure regions.
Compliance-sensitive workloads run on Azure Local in your own datacenter, with the management ease of the cloud.
You also get the right questions to ask your provider. Where exactly does my data sit and how do I get out again later? That way you choose on facts instead of on broad promises.

To your hybrid environment in four steps
You know in advance what happens and when. Every step delivers something you can build on.
1. Exploration
Your current setup and your plans go on the table first.
2. Architecture and cost estimate
You get a drawn-out architecture with a clear cost estimate.
3. Phased execution
The project runs in phases, so your operations carry on.
4. Management and optimisation
After delivery your environment stays managed and optimised through our Managed Services, with monitoring and continuous cost follow-up.
You scale along without rebuilding everything
Scalable without a rebuild
Workloads move up and down smoothly between private and public cloud, depending on what you need at that moment.
Predictable cloud costs
With FinOps you see where your money goes and pay only for what you use.
Protected and running again quickly
Your systems stay patched and protected. If things do go wrong, your backup and disaster recovery are tested and ready.
Ready for what comes next
Your environment is built to evolve, including when you invest in Data & AI or roll out your first AI applications.
How Xylos makes the difference
Your data and processes are never locked in anywhere, because we do not build our own private cloud platform. You work on a public cloud with Azure, complemented by Azure Local where you want to host local or compliance-sensitive workloads on dedicated infrastructure. You keep full visibility of your workloads and your costs, and you can always leave.
For each workload we look at what delivers the most technically and financially, and at the level of control regulation requires. Infrastructure experts and cloud specialists work together on your solution to do that. That way you invest in a well-designed environment that lasts for years, with equipment from partners such as HPE and Cohesity that fits your situation.

Ready to divide your IT smartly?
In an exploratory conversation our experts look at your current environment and sketch the first outlines of your hybrid approach.
Also of interest to you
Your hybrid cloud is the base layer the rest of your IT runs on. Our Managed Services keep that environment watched day and night and up to date, while our Cybersecurity services protect it against threats. On that same foundation you build further with Modern Workplace and with Data & AI for your data and AI initiatives.
