Public cloud hosting
With our public cloud hosting options, you can easily scale up or down as your needs change, and benefit from the security and reliability of a world-class cloud infrastructure. Our public cloud hosting options include Microsoft Azure and the Access Cloud.
- The Access Cloud is a highly flexible cloud hosting platform that allows you to access your data and applications from anywhere, at any time.
- Microsoft Azure is a highly scalable and secure cloud hosting platform that offers similar services to the Access Cloud.
Private cloud hosting
Whether you need a private cloud for compliance, security, or performance reasons, our private cloud hosting options provide you with the flexibility, control, and security you need to run your business with confidence. As with our public cloud environments, you can run a private cloud hosting environment in either Azure or the Access Cloud.
- The Access Cloud offers a private cloud hosting solution, where you can access your data and applications from a secure, private UK environment. The Access Cloud is often the more cost effective cloud hosting solution for UK businesses.
- Microsoft Azure also offers a private cloud hosting solution, although it is less commonly deployed compared to their public cloud hosting solutions as this can become a less cost effective option.
Hybrid cloud hosting
Our hybrid cloud hosting solution is deployed across the Access Cloud and Microsoft Azure. This solution provides you with the benefits of a public cloud hosting, including scalability and cost-effectiveness, combined with the control and development opportunity to test environments, using the advanced development tools, before using a private cloud as your live environment.
With our hybrid cloud hosting, you can access your data and applications from a combination of public and private cloud environments, giving you the best of both worlds. This solution offers you the flexibility, control, and security you need to meet the changing demands of your business.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides you with the infrastructure you need to run your applications and services. You can benefit from scalable and secure virtual machines, storage, and networking resources, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
You have control over your IaaS, with the freedom to manage resources and deploy workloads as needed.
Our IaaS options include Microsoft Azure and the Access Cloud, both of which offer highly scalable and reliable infrastructure to support your business needs.
Managed infrastructure
Managed Infrastructure provides you with the infrastructure you need to run your applications and services, along with the management and maintenance of the underlying infrastructure.
With managed Infrastructure, you can focus on running your business, while we take care of the infrastructure.
Our managed infrastructure options include Microsoft Azure and the Access Cloud, both of which offer highly scalable and reliable infrastructure, along with expert management and maintenance. With managed infrastructure, you can benefit from the power of the cloud without the hassle of managing the underlying infrastructure.
