Businesses today are generating and processing more data than ever before. To keep up, they need an IT infrastructure that offers the scalability of the cloud while maintaining the security and control of on-premises solutions. Enter hybrid data center infrastructure—a strategy that combines the best of both worlds, giving enterprises the flexibility to optimize performance, cost, and reliability.
At 165 Halsey Street, businesses can leverage highly available colocation solutions to power their hybrid environments. With direct cloud on-ramps, carrier-neutral connectivity, and scalable infrastructure, 165 Halsey provides the foundation for a seamless hybrid IT strategy.

Why Businesses Are Turning to Hybrid Data Center Infrastructure
The shift to hybrid infrastructure is driven by the need for greater agility, security, and cost efficiency. Businesses are no longer choosing between on-premises or cloud—they are strategically blending both to meet evolving demands.
Key Benefits of a Hybrid Data Center Approach
- Scalability Without Limits – Businesses can rapidly expand IT resources without overinvesting in physical infrastructure. By colocating in a carrier-neutral data center, they gain access to on-demand cloud connectivity while maintaining mission-critical workloads on dedicated servers.
- Enhanced Performance – Hybrid environments allow businesses to keep latency-sensitive applications closer to users while leveraging the cloud for storage, AI processing, and burst computing.
- Optimized Costs – Hybrid strategies help companies balance capital and operational expenses by shifting workloads dynamically between cloud and colocation. Instead of overpaying for cloud egress fees, they can optimize data movement between environments.
- Security & Compliance – Some industries require strict data residency and compliance, making an all-cloud approach unfeasible. Hybrid models ensure sensitive workloads remain within secure colocation facilities while cloud resources handle non-critical applications.
- Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery – A hybrid setup enables redundancy by distributing workloads across on-prem, colocation, and cloud environments, ensuring continuous uptime even during failures.
