Manual hybrid IT infrastructure management is inefficient. Managed hybrid infrastructure services use automation, orchestration and standardized frameworks to simplify operations and ensure system reliability.

Explore top hybrid IT infrastructure management tools and their pricing below:

We sourced score information from leading B2B user review platforms and pricing from the tools’ websites.

Tools to manage hybrid IT infrastructure

  • Provisioning and release automation: Service requests, provisioning, development, configuration and compliance management, faster deployments and less errors in hybrid infrastructure.
  • IT service support automation: Enhances IT service management (ITSM) by automating workflows, integrating infrastructure components and compliance. Reduces manual intervention and optimises service delivery.
  • IT operations automation: Monitors and automates tasks, manages infrastructure components and integrates ITSM and orchestration tools for seamless operations across environments.

To achieve these automation goals several tools are required:

Hybrid infrastructure management software

These tools focuses on managing the underlying infrastructure (compute, storage, network) across on-premises data centers and cloud environments. They provide capabilities for provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and automation of infrastructure resources.   

For instance, OpenText’s IT Operations Cloud brings together existing legacy and cloud management tools to provide end-to-end automation across key IT functional areas, ensuring consistent service delivery and governance.

Hybrid cloud management platform

These tools specifically addresses the management of resources and services within public and private cloud environments. Such tools offer features for cloud resource provisioning, orchestration, cost management, security, and governance.   

Solutions like AWS Management Console, Azure Management Portal, and Google Cloud Console provide centralized management of cloud resources, provisioning, monitoring and cost management.

Hybrid cloud job schedulers

These tools are also known as SOAP or WLA tools and they focus on automating IT processes and orchestrating complex workflows that often span different systems and environments (on-premises and cloud). SOAPs enable consistent and efficient execution of tasks, application deployments, and infrastructure changes.   

Some examples include ActiveBatch, RunMyJobs, Stonebranch, and Fortra’s JAMS. Check out more on Hybrid cloud job schedulers.

Monitoring tools

Monitoring tools, also referred to as observability & performance monitoring software, provide broad visibility into the health, performance, and availability of infrastructure, applications, and services across the hybrid landscape. A monitoring tool can collect and analyze metrics, logs, and traces to provide insights and enable proactive issue detection.   

Application performance management (APM) Tools

APM tools offer deep-dive analysis of application performance, focusing on transaction tracing, code-level visibility, and user experience monitoring. They help identify performance bottlenecks and optimize application behavior in distributed hybrid environments.   

Cloud cost optimization and management

Cloud cost optimization tools are financial management tools that provide insights for understanding, controlling, and optimizing cloud-related expenses across multiple cloud providers. These tools can identify cost-saving opportunities, manage budgets, and ensure financial governance in a hybrid cloud strategy.   

Security and compliance management

Security and compliance management tools help enforce consistent security policies and compliance standards across the entire hybrid IT environment. These tools can identify and access management, threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance monitoring that can span on-premises and cloud resources.

Governance and policy management

GRC tools can define and enforce policies related to resource usage, deployment standards, and operational procedures across the hybrid environment. They help maintain consistency and control as organizations leverage diverse IT resources.

Managing hybrid IT with cloud-managed servers

Hybrid IT management tools are typically cloud-managed servers. These are virtual machines (VMs) offered by cloud platforms that handle infrastructure setup, software deployment and maintenance for you. Pre-configured with the OS, software and dependencies, you can launch applications with minimal effort.

For example, RunMyJobs by Redwood is a cloud-native automation platform that integrates with both SAP and AWS. It automates SAP ERP processes using pre-built connectors for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. With AWS integration it automates resource management and provisioning through services like Amazon EC2 and S3, simplifying workload automation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
