Enterprise Compute CloudUnlike cloud-native applications, enterprise applications were designed in the age of virtualisation and traditional hosting. These workloads support a wide variety of business processes: from back-office systems (such as payroll) to line-of-business applications (such as case management). Some enterprise applications have particular requirements in relation to resilience, assurance, and connectivity to legacy systems and secure communities of users.

UKCloud Enterprise Compute Cloud provides you with

the trusted, connected and flexible cloud platform you

need to deliver your critical enterprise applications in the

cloud.

Our platform can help you achieve the business goals

at the centre of your strategy, without risking your

operational ability to execute.

Given that we also provide other compute solutions,

including Cloud Native Infrastructure (powered by

OpenStack) and Enterprise Compute Cloud – Oracle, we

can deliver a suite of services to meet all your needs.

Technical features

Enterprise Compute Cloud VMs are priced per hour. Your

bills are based on actual consumption, so if you’re not

using it, you can turn it off so you don’t need to pay for

it. In addition, our flexible VM sizes enable you to map

neatly to your existing specifications, and scale resources

up or down based on changing requirements. You’re not

constrained to the resources identified in a design phase.

Enterprise Compute Cloud includes as standard:

• Virtual firewalls

• VMware HA (High Availability) protection

• Basic load balancing

• Persistent storage

• Free DDoS-protected internet access

• Personalised support via customer success managers,

TAMs and telephone support desk

To model a total cost of ownership, you may also want

to consider additional elements such as connectivity;

and service options such as cloud enablement and cross

domain services.
