1.1 The Hybrid Link service

A service for resources active in the same Data Center can be created.

The Hybrid Link service lets you connect two active Cloud services to each other.
 
Cloud services that can be connected using a Hybrid Link are classified into two types.
  • Source resource - the resource which the Hybrid Link starts from. Can either be:
    • Private Cloud
    • Unified Storage
  • Target resource - the resource which the Hybrid Link connects to. Can either be:
    • Private Cloud
    • Unified Storage
    • Custom service
Services can be connected as shown in the following chart:
  Target resource
Source resource Private Cloud Unified Storage Custom service
Private Cloud      
Unified Storage      

Therefore, a Private Cloud service can be connected to a Unified Storage or a custom service. A Unified Storage service can only be connected to a Private Cloud service.
The chart below shows the possible combinations of resources which can be connected and the type of hybrid network:
 
Source resource / Target resource Type of hybrid network
Private Cloud / Unified Storage 10 Gb/s hybrid link
Unified Storage / Private Cloud 10 Gb/s hybrid link
Private Cloud / Custom Service 1 vLAN hybrid link
5 vLAN hybrid link
