Cloud X Hybrid from Global Cloud Xchange provides secure, seamless access to both Cloud X Private and Cloud X Multi-tenant Clouds simultaneously, allowing you to define the ideal operating environment for your business’ requirements.

1. HYBRID
CHANGING THE PARADIGM OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing is about paying for what you need when you need it;
infrastructure scaled to the mean of your needs, not the peak. But it is
also about innovation through IT, Software Defined Networks and the
need for low cost IT infrastructure, nimble user interfaces and tight
back-end support
Where previously CIOs focused their budgets on infrastructure, today the
rise of Cloud computing has turned that model on its head. Efficient “Pay
as you go” IT consumption models are taking over from traditional “always
on” IT. Yet despite enterprises needing large scale, secure high performance
IT environments, Cloud computing remains mostly Internet-based.
Cloud X Hybrid from Global Cloud Xchange provides secure, seamless
access to both Cloud X Private and Cloud X Multi-tenant Clouds
simultaneously, allowing you to define the ideal operating environment
for your business’ requirements.
Operated from our simple-to-use portal, Cloud X Hybrid offers seamless
manipulation of both highly secure, dedicated enterprise-class Cloud
data center services and agile, on-demand compute and storage, both
> Enterprise-class Cloud services, applications
and content distributed via a global private fiber
optic network
> Build and scale a Cloud X data center as demand
requires and / or stand up new workload
environments for development, test, quality
assurance and production within minutes, and
on a global scale
> Deploy servers, applications and storage and
manage the lifecycle of resources online through
our simple-to-use Cloud X portal

of which are attached directly to Global Cloud Xchange’s global
network. Servers, applications and storage can be provisioned at the
click of a mouse button and bandwidth can be turned up instantaneously
meaning multi-tiered enterprise applications can be deployed globally,
straight onto your corporate network in minutes rather than months.
More than 60+ out-of-the-box SaaS applications can be provisioned
standalone or as components of complex workloads, while custom
applications can be imported and fully integrated.
With Cloud X, migrating to and operating from the Cloud has never been
so straightforward. Our orchestration platform isolates low-level
dependencies of Cloud applications and decouples them from their
operating system for agility and portability. Cloud X even supports
seamless interoperability with 3rd party Cloud providers, so existing Cloud
based applications can be migrated quickly, efficiently and without fuss.
And because Cloud X is integrated directly into our private global
network, once on-net you can seamlessly connect you to any of our
global Cloud X platforms or GCX data centers in less than an hour.

2. WHY GLOBAL CLOUD XCHANGE?
By building IT infrastructure directly onto our networks we have solved the conundrum of high power virtualized
Cloud environments connecting to best effort networks. Cloud X seamlessly combines the speed and power of fiber
optics with the agility, flexibility and cost-efficiencies of “pay as you go” Cloud computing; available on a global
scale and controlled by a simple-to-use user portal.
NOW THAT’S DIFFERENT.
With Cloud X Hybrid from Global Cloud Xchange, you can have both the predictable, high performance, dedicated
resource pool of Global Cloud Xchange’s Cloud X Private services, and the dynamic, cost-effective, pay-as you go
agility of our Cloud X Multi-tenant services. And with direct connectivity onto your corporate network, your Cloud
services on a global scale are as good as “on-site”.
