Most companies efficiently apply the hybrid approach in establishing their IT infrastructure. Merge of the local infrastructure and public cloud opens new horizons: move some loads beyond the infrastructure, scale resources during activity bursts, and pay as you go — no heavy investments are required.
Selectel will help establish the hybrid infrastructure adapted to the specifics of your data systems. We will find the most suitable solutions, preserve the service reliability, and ensure the required data security level.
Merge Your Infrastructure with the Cloud
A hybrid solution created jointly with Selectel engineers will stitch your local infrastructure together with the Selectel or partner cloud. Selectel is the single vendor of these cloud solutions; we tackle all payment and contracting interactions. Rubles are accepted even for foreign-currency cloud services.
When a Company Needs the Hybrid Infrastructure
Load Management & Scaling
Use the cloud resources when the power of your local infrastructure is insufficient or you expect peak loads. Hybrid cloud enables you to balance the load and ensure operation of your services even in case of a traffic surge.
Test Environment Creation
Reduce the time to market by means of rapid deployment of test environments. Prompt update management in the test environment before the field launch.
Redundancy
Arrange the backup infrastructure that will rescue you in case of emergency (e.g. power outage, equipment failure, human error). When the local infrastructure becomes unavailable, the vendor cloud will continue operating ensuring no negative impact on your business processes.
How the Hybrid Infrastructure Is Developed
Business Requirements Collection & Design
Together with you, we will define the most crucial data systems and applications. Then we will suggest a solution that will balance the performance, functionality, and costs.
Hybrid Solution
Implementation
We will move some of your services to the cloud and configure the scaling rules. Then we will check the core functionality of the solution.
Load Test & Launch
Organizing the load testing to see how the hybrid solution goes through paces. We will note the conformity to business specifications. After that, we will put the solution into operation.
Infrastructure
Maintenance
Scrupulous monitoring to ensure the fail-free operation of the infrastructure.

Platforms to Integrate in the Hybrid Cloud
Selectel is VMware Enterprise’s verified partner (VMware Cloud Verified). This guarantees that Selectel customers always get the finest possible level of the infrastructure implementation.
VMware Availability is the tool that helps organize the hybrid cloud: this service enriches the capabilities of the customer private VMware cloud by using the computing capacity of the vendor’s public-cloud cloud — VMware-based Selectel cloud.
VMware Availability supports local and cloud deployment of various vSphere® versions, offering the full-dress functionality:
- preserving connection between virtual machines at virtual platforms,
- migration of virtual machines with the shortest possible idle time,
- reverse migration.
We use the virtual machine creation and autoscaling tools based on Terraform tools and Selectel Cloud API.
To manage containerized applications, we use Kubernetes.
On GitHub, you will find Selectel cases of using Terraform and Kubernetes.
Integration of your infrastructure and AWS cloud resources on all data system interaction levels:
- for network consistency, use Direct Connect (dedicated AWS cloud connection channel);
- to ensure identification and access policies implementation, use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM);
- to manage resources and deployments, use AWS CodeDeploy, AWSOpsWork, or Terraform.
If you are an active Microsoft user, Azure services will be a suitable option.
Selectel engineers will:
- organize the infrastructure access over the Internet and dedicated band connection (Direct Connect);
- Integrate the catalog service with the use of Azure AD Connect and implementation of SSO and MFA;
- manage the resources and deployments with the use of Azure and Terraform.
Selectel engineers will help create a reliable hybrid solution that will ensure high-load processing for your web projects.
Two infrastructures are integrated by means of VPN or dedicated connection (Direct Connect).
To establish a hybrid solution with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), we actively use Terraform.
Autoscaling is perfectly tackled by Kubernetes.
VPN or Direct Connect (dedicated GCP connection channel provided by Selectel) integrates two infrastructures.
