# The hybrid cloud

The hybrid cloud utilizes both cloud and on-premise storage. This allows you to move media where you need it, when you need it.

**It's the most agile way to manage media.**

## You get the benefits of cloud storage

 Iconik has been natively built for the cloud.

**

Always available

Your media is on hand 24/7 in the cloud from any device that's connected to the internet.

**

Global access

From the moment media enters iconik, you can access what you need from anywhere on the globe.

**

Zero maintenance costs

Managing media in the cloud requires no hardware maintenance cost.

**

Extremely secure

You have the world-class security measures provided by the leading cloud storage providers, plus a 30-day backup of any content in iconik.

## And you get the benefits of on-premise storage

 Iconik will also manage your hi-res, on-premise assets. Proxy versions are indexed and searchable in the cloud even while your original media is stored locally.

**

Quick access to large files

Keep large file on-premise where they are needed for editing. Proxies will be in the cloud.

**

Familiarity with existing file structure

If your team likes how media is organized on-premise, you can keep the same folder structure as iconik collections.

**

Available locally

Work locally with your original files with the option to keep only proxies or hi-res versions in the cloud as needed.

**

Security against remote threats

Choose which content will be offline, unable to be accessed or shared online.

### The hybrid cloud gives you a holistic view of all your assets no matter where they live.
