Key benefits of using Zoho Creator's hybrid deployment feature

Hybrid deployment is considered primarily by organizations that have investments in on-premises infrastructure as well as cloud services. Hybrid deployment can be beneficial because it can act as a backup mechanism for disaster recovery purposes.

Enhanced security

Hybrid deployment empowers you to securely store sensitive data on-premises while leveraging the cloud's scalability and accessibility. Letting the app development team choose the cloud to deploy on your server protects against external threats, safeguarding your valuable information.

Optimized performance

By deploying your application on-premises, you can minimize latency and enhance performance, particularly for real-time data processing applications, providing a seamless user experience.

Cost efficiency

Hybrid deployment allows you to streamline infrastructure costs by deploying sensitive data on-premises and leveraging the cloud for non-sensitive data. This strategic approach helps you save on hardware expenses and maintenance overheads, optimizing your budget allocation.

Unmatched flexibility

With a hybrid deployment, you can select the deployment option that perfectly aligns with your business requirements. Whether on-premises, cloud-based, or a combination of both, you can tailor the deployment to suit your unique needs.

Better redundancy

By leveraging hybrid deployment, businesses can enhance their application's resilience and ensure continuity in the face of potential failures or disruptions due to natural calamities. This redundancy minimizes the risk of single points of failure and provides increased reliability and availability for critical business applications.

Getting started with the hybrid deployment of your Zoho Creator apps

Here's a brief overview of how you can get started.

Create your application

Begin by designing and building your application using Zoho Creator's intuitive low-code development environment. Customize your forms, workflows, and business logic to match your unique requirements.

Choose your deployment option

Once your application is ready, it's time to decide how you want to deploy it. With hybrid deployment, you can choose between on-premises, cloud, or a combination. Assess your data security needs, performance requirements, and cost considerations to determine the best deployment option for your business.

Configure on-premises deployment

If you opt for on-premises deployment, ensure that you have the necessary infrastructure. Set up the required hardware, network connectivity, and security measures to host your application within your premises. Zoho Creator's team of experts can assist you in this process, providing guidance and support.

Configure cloud deployment

If you choose cloud deployment, Zoho Creator takes care of your infrastructure. Your application will be hosted on Zoho's secure and scalable cloud platform, ensuring high availability and performance. You can easily access and manage your application from anywhere, anytime.

Hybrid deployment configuration

For a hybrid deployment, you can divide your application components between on-premises and cloud environments based on your specific requirements. With this approach, you can keep sensitive data on-premises while using the cloud's scalability and accessibility for non-sensitive data.

How to choose the deployment option that best suits your business needs

When choosing the best deployment option for your organization, consider factors such as data security requirements, performance needs, cost considerations, flexibility, and integration with existing systems. Assessing these factors will help you make an informed decision.

Small businesses

Small businesses can leverage cloud deployment to optimize their IT resources and budgets. Cloud deployment offers a cost-effective solution without the need for extensive hardware investments or maintenance costs. It provides scalability and accessibility, allowing small businesses to expand their operations and reach new customers effortlessly.

Medium-sized businesses

For medium-sized businesses with diverse IT requirements, a hybrid deployment approach can be advantageous. Hybrid deployment allows businesses to securely store sensitive data on-premises while using the cloud for non-sensitive data. This approach ensures greater control over data security while capitalizing on the scalability and accessibility of the cloud.

Large enterprises

Large enterprises with complex IT infrastructures often prefer on-premises deployment. This option provides enhanced control over data security and performance, making it suitable for enterprises with stringent compliance requirements or immediate data-processing needs.

Startups

Startups, typically operating with limited budgets and a need for rapid application development, can benefit from low-code platforms like Zoho Creator. By deploying their applications on the cloud, startups can achieve scalability, accessibility, and cost-efficiency.

Government agencies

Government agencies, with their focus on compliance and sensitive data, often opt for on-premises deployment. This approach ensures strict control over data security and compliance, keeping sensitive information within the agency's premises.
