Leverage our private cloud solution
Take advantage of greater agility, improved security and optimized performance.
Learn morePrivate Cloud
Private cloud has always been known for its customizable control, inherent security capabilities, and high levels of performance and dependability. But today’s private cloud solutions offer new capabilities that make them more appealing than ever, including real-time scaling, consumption-based pricing, intelligent automation, containers, serverless computing and AI and machine learning.
Today’s private cloud can run a whole software-defined data center on top of single-tenant infrastructure — creating a complete cloud-like experience and opening up new possibilities for businesses that can’t move to public cloud — whether because of geography, performance requirements, regulations or even company culture.
With our VMware®-based hybrid cloud solutions, you can tap into cloud innovations within the predictability and familiarity of your own private cloud infrastructure. Gain the immediate benefits of public cloud with the luxury and flexibility of modernizing your applications when it suits you, while securing your most-sensitive data in your private cloud deployment.
Use Cases
Our hosted private cloud solutions allow you to run and optimize workloads in the best location and on the best infrastructure, without any major rework. We make it possible both to move to the cloud without re-architecting applications, and to scale your environment to other types of clouds.
We help you maintain and run legacy and mission-critical applications where it makes most sense, so you can:
- Continue using in-house developed applications in your private cloud hosting until you're ready to retire them
- Avoid the expense of high-volume data management in the public cloud
- Keep your applications and computing resources that support third parties or run critical core processes on-site
Extend your on-premises footprint with secure cloud capacity — without adding hardware. And develop cloud-native applications in an environment similar to your on-premises environment with the benefit of managed private cloud services.
Consolidate data centers or move off-premises for greater cost efficiency, improved lifecycle management and ease of operations — all while retaining your familiar technology stack.
- Progressively migrate specific applications to a secure cloud environment at your own pace
- Gain cost benefits and reduce IT Ops costs without expensive application modernization
- Maintain a secure and reliable private cloud
Build resiliency and protect against data loss with disaster recovery, off-site data backup and remote worker solutions — including virtual desktop infrastructure and remote data center management — all within your virtual private cloud.
- Mirror vital data in a high-security, off-site data center for enhanced business continuity planning
- Seamlessly switch over operations in the event of a disaster at a primary location
Optimize the performance of applications and workloads that require low latency and intensive processing.
- Expand geo-specific capacity so data and processing can execute close together
- Minimize latency and network costs while maximizing performance
- Dedicate resources to avoid application timeouts from external shared systems, to enhance your private cloud services capabilities for your business
Optimize your governance, security and compliance mandates by running each workload in its best environment. Avoid exposing your business to increased risk through forced and possibly unnecessary migrations or modernizations.
Store your data adjacent to the cloud — not in it. Cost-effectively make your data available to whichever cloud services you need. Eliminate public cloud egress fees and avoid cloud lock-in.
