MongoDB is exploring the concept of hybrid cloud, which combines public and private cloud infrastructure to provide a flexible architecture for financial services companies. This approach allows institutions to use public cloud for tasks with dynamic resource requirements, such as payments processing, while keeping sensitive workloads on in-house systems. Hybrid cloud offers advantages including reduced capital expenses, improved responsiveness, and enhanced compliance, resilience, and performance. Financial services companies can prepare for a hybrid cloud future by setting clear goals, evaluating customer profiles, profiling assets, blending private and public clouds, building a team with the right skills, fostering transparency, and mapping their migration process. With the right approach, institutions can achieve cost efficiency, flexibility, and competitiveness in the face of rapidly changing customer demands and emerging technologies.
