Cloud Platform
| Need | Private Cloud IaaS |
|---|---|
| Flexible - grow and shrink | Starting with a single core of CPU, each virtual machine can be scaled with either dedicated or shared CPU power |
| Secure - know where data is | Built on best of breed and hosted within UKSolutions highly secure datacentres, you will always know where your data is |
| Simple Delivery | Delivered via a secure Multi Service Link into existing rackspace or directly accessible from the Internet |
| Service Levels | You will always have access to the resources you order, and using the High Availability options we will manage hardware failure with seamless migration |
| Content Delivery | International on-net CDN |
| Latency Reduction | Global DNS |
| Multiple Domains | Global Site Redirection |

We operate a Private Infrastructure Cloud architecture delivered using best of breed virtualisation technologies. The UKSolutions platform resides within the same highly secure and fault tolerant hosting environment as our traditional dedicated rack services, offering you total peace of mind around data security and service quality.
Cloud Services
Each Cloud Virtual Machine is private for your use. The amount of fixed resources are allocated and always available for your use, along with the ability to increase or burst as options within the service. The compartmentalisation of each virtual machine is at the core of the design to support security.
Dedicated Cloud Resources
Cloud virtual machines (CVM's) are simple to use, scalable and resilient. A range of other Cloud services compliment and support both the CVM's and traditional rack hosting to improve user experience and provide value for money.
Private Cloud Resource Pools
From a pool of CPU, Memory and Disk you make the decisions. From within these scalable pools you have control to define service quality and access to resources by individual machines.
Combined with a range of default images for operating systems, new Virtual Machines can be brought to service in minutes.
Utility Billing - Pay for Resources you Use
Not every requirement needs processor and memory, and using our Utility Billing model you only pay for the actual resources you use.
Each processor and RAM hour of use is summed and charged monthly in arrears, and there's a cost for each Virtual Machine powered on in a given month.
Much like our dedicated resource pools offer a range of default images.
