You want to reduce TCO, improve resource utilization, enable business continuity and retain control to support corporate governance aims. Yet at the same time you would like to take advantage of the possibilities offered by the public cloud. Carrenza’s next-generation private cloud lets you do all that and more.
Our private cloud uses the same high-end infrastructure that supports all Carrenza systems, they come as standard with Cisco® firewall services and reside on best-in-class infrastructure, but that infrastructure is dedicated to you, and run by us. You manage your servers, and if you need to the virtualization layer, in the way you are used to doing. Leaving us to look after the infrastructure.
Control
With a private cloud built onto Carrenza infrastructure you get the ability to control a pool of resources dedicated to you, but you retain the flexibility to scale and amend your cloud as your requirements change. You are able to contend servers, use resources as virtual or physical devices and re-provision resources to support changing business drivers. This is next generation private cloud, all the benefits of multi-tenant systems without the need to share.
More for less
Typically the TCO of our private cloud solution is lower than one built in-house, let alone legacy systems. Even before you remember that we manage the infrastructure, make it resilient and support it 24×7, that kind of scale both in organisational and infrastructure terms can’t easily be replicated in an internal solution. You also have the ability to add other Carrenza Cloud services as and when they are needed, just like in the public cloud.
Who can benefit?
Mid-market companies can use one of our private clouds to replace legacy physical servers and reduce TCOs, while maintaining control and aiding compliance. For SaaS companies our enterprise cloud provides the high availability and reliability needed for service level management. Companies looking to move to virtual desktop systems can use a private cloud to effectively resource multi-site teams and mobile workforces.
VMWare or OVM
Our cloud is designed to support multiple virtualisation technologies meaning we can offer solutions using a powerful and flexible mix of technologies. Industry leading VMWare solutions allow you to restore applications and business services as well as data, while access to vCloud Director allows you to have full control of your platform and the power to add and remove servers and resources as required.
