Now we have choices in the type of cloud services we can use. Comparing pure vs hybrid cloud models reveal there are pros and cons of each technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/tech\/cloud-benefits-system-administrator\">Here<\/a> on the Fastmetrics blog, we have already looked at how ushering in cloud technology created a new era in computing, affecting how many people work, across industries and across the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Pure vs. Hybrid Cloud Model: What Are the Advantages for Data Analysts?\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Pure-vs-Hybrid-Cloud-Model-Advantages-for-Data-Analysts.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cloud has made many tech professionals\u2019 jobs much easier, from <a href=\"https:\/\/skillspot.co\/data-analyst-to-data-scientist-know-the-difference-between-the-two-and-whats-right-for-you\/\">data analyst to data scientists<\/a>. Having an easily accessible repository for big chunks of information, provides the necessary support for these professionals. This allows them to keep up with an increasingly fast-paced and mobile world.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, two different types of cloud models have emerged, with pure vs hybrid cloud models available. Each cloud model has its own set of benefits for data analysts. We\u2019ll be looking deeper into the two types to determine what advantages each model has for data analysts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pure Cloud Model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A pure cloud model, also known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/tech\/private-vs-public-cloud-services\/\">private cloud<\/a> model, has an on-premises cloud owned solely by a company or enterprise. Techopedia states that many opt for this model, because of the control and privacy it entails. Having a pure cloud model means there will be less risk of attack or a data breach. Data analysts who use this model prefer it because of the security and reliability it provides.<\/p>\n<p>Using a pure cloud model means all aspects of the cloud are in your control. You decide on accessibility. The private cloud model is also very helpful for data analysts dealing with sensitive or high profile information or data.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/image-of-a-white-cloud-with-different-user-devices-connected-to-the-cloud.png\" alt=\"image of a white cloud with different user devices connected to the cloud\" width=\"500\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/image-of-a-white-cloud-with-different-user-devices-connected-to-the-cloud.png 960w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/image-of-a-white-cloud-with-different-user-devices-connected-to-the-cloud-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/image-of-a-white-cloud-with-different-user-devices-connected-to-the-cloud-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/image-of-a-white-cloud-with-different-user-devices-connected-to-the-cloud-624x325.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Cloud-backup-options-Pure-cloud-vs-hybrid-cloud-backup\">Computer Weekly notes<\/a> that \u201cthe key benefit of a pure cloud approach is that it is easy to implement, scalable and very well suited to organizations that don&#8217;t possess in-house IT department skills.\u201d This means that analysts who are also filling other tech roles will be able to devote their time towards data analysis without worrying about troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hybrid Cloud Model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A hybrid cloud model on the other hand is a mix of private and public cloud platforms. The creation of multiple service platforms has made it easier for companies to shift from the very rigid private cloud models and migrate towards locating their data and assets on public clouds. For analysts, this makes their data more accessible anywhere and at anytime.<\/p>\n<p>The main advantage of the hybrid cloud is speed. As a data analyst, you need quick access to information in order to process it as fast as possible. And if you are using different types of software for the job, speed counts for a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/sys-admin-touching-image-of-cloud.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/sys-admin-touching-image-of-cloud.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/sys-admin-touching-image-of-cloud-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/sys-admin-touching-image-of-cloud-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fastmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/09\/sys-admin-touching-image-of-cloud-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To be a competitive, data analysts must have skills across a multitude of software, including programming languages like Python and HTML. A hybrid cloud model will complement analysts dealings with multiple software, potentially increasing productivity.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no concrete answer when it comes to the question of which of the two models work best. After examining the advantages of both, it\u2019s clear to see that each has its own merits. In the end, it all depends on the nature of the business and how cloud technology can support processes and your output as a data analyst.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">About Fastmetrics, Inc.
