Private Cloud
Quickly move or extend your virtualised environments to the cloud while maintaining operational consistency, in a resource pool whose quotas, network and users belong to your organisation.
Get fast migration for virtualised workloads
Accelerate cloud migration
Upload your existing virtual machines to your organisation's catalogue as standard OVA templates and run them in your resource pool. Your templates can be downloaded again in the same format when needed.
Reduce management burden
Physical servers, storage and the virtualisation layer are run for you and patched regularly, so your IT team can focus on its own projects instead of routine maintenance.
Extend your capacity
Raise the CPU, memory and storage limits of your resource pool as your needs grow, and create as many virtual servers inside the pool as you need.
Protect workloads
Prepare for disasters with integrated Backup and Business Continuity services to minimise downtime and data loss.
Example scenarios
An organisation moving to the cloud instead of renewing hardware
Its virtual machines are uploaded to its own catalog as OVA templates and run in its resource pool. Running the physical servers, the storage and the patching is no longer its IT team’s job.
An IT team making room for a new project
As the project grows, the pool’s CPU, memory and storage ceilings are raised and the team opens as many virtual servers as it needs. The audit log shows who changed what.
A company joining its head office and branches to one pool
The head office connects to the resource pool over MPLS through Private Connectivity, and branches join over IPsec VPN. NAT and firewall rules are managed on the company’s own gateway from the portal.
Discover what you can do with Private Cloud
Central management and visibility
Monitor your organisation's current quota and resource use in the portal, and read who changed what and when in the audit trail.
Support for diverse workloads
Run virtual servers, Kubernetes clusters and GPU-backed virtual machines side by side in the same resource pool.
High availability
If a physical server fails, virtual machines restart on other servers in the cluster. Your gateway's standby takes over when the active one fails.
Template and catalogue management
Build a template catalogue for your organisation, share it with your teams and upload your own ISO files.
Advanced network control
Manage routed and isolated networks, NAT and firewall rules, static routes and IPsec VPN on your own gateway.
Private circuit connectivity
Connect your headquarters or branches directly to your resource pool over MPLS or a private circuit with Private Connectivity.
Embedded security
Separate tenant boundary
Each organisation runs inside its own tenant boundary, with its own gateway and its own users.
Gateway closed by default
The firewall on your gateway denies and logs all traffic until you open a rule.
Identity provider integration
Your organisation administrator assigns roles to users, and your identity provider connects to the portal over SAML or OIDC.
Private Cloud pricing
Pricing is based on the vCPU, GB of memory and GB of NVMe storage in the resource pool, not on the number of servers in it. Gateways, load balancers, intrusion detection and prevention, public IP addresses and internet bandwidth are separate items.
