More Than Managed Hosting

We help growing businesses keep critical applications, platforms, websites and databases secure, available and protected from data loss - through a managed cloud approach built around five connected disciplines.

More Than Managed Hosting

Five Principles. One Approach.

Business-critical sites and apps do not run well by accident.

 

It takes more than good infrastructure. Security, performance, recovery, cost and operational support all shape how an environment performs over time — and weakness in one can undermine the rest.

 

That is why our managed cloud approach is built around five connected disciplines that work together to support the systems your business depends on.

The Problem

Where business-critical systems become vulnerable

Our Approach

How we manage against it

  • Performance slows as demand and usage increase
  • Monitor performance and adapt resources as demand changes
  • Downtime disrupts customers, staff and business operations
  • Build resilience around the systems your business depends on
  • Security incidents expose data and interrupt normal service
  • Layer security controls around infrastructure and access
  • Backups fail when recovery is needed most
  • Test recovery processes before they are urgently needed

The Five Disciplines

Five different pressures. Five disciplines designed to stay ahead of them - all brought together in one joined-up approach to managing the whole picture.

Security & Compliance

Reduce exposure, protect access and keep security controls aligned with changing threats and business requirements.

Explore Security & Compliance →

Availability & Performance

Keep critical applications responsive, stable and ready to handle changing demand without unnecessary complexity.

Explore Availability & Performance →

Recovery & Resilience

Protect important data and plan for failure, so recovery is understood, tested and built into the way the environment is managed.

Explore Recovery & Resilience →

Cost Optimisation & FinOps

Keep cloud spend aligned with what the business actually needs, avoiding waste without compromising what matters.

Explore Cost Optimisation →

24/7 Operational Support

Monitor, investigate and respond around the clock, with engineers who understand the environment and act when something important needs attention.

What does this actually mean for my business?

It means we do not just give you infrastructure and leave you to manage the risk around it.

 

We look at what your business depends on, how critical it is, what could disrupt it and what level of protection, resilience and support it genuinely needs.

 

That could mean one managed server or a more complex cloud environment.

 

Whatever the environment, the same five disciplines shape how we design, manage and support it – so the technology fits the business, not the other way around.

Choosing the Right Platform for the Job

Different workloads have different demands, so we use the environment that fits them best. That might be a managed server, StormCloud, Microsoft Azure or a hybrid combination.

StormCloud

For workloads that need dedicated resources, predictable performance and tightly managed infrastructure without public-cloud complexity.

Explore StormCloud →

Microsoft Azure

For applications that benefit from public-cloud scale, flexibility, geographic reach or access to wider cloud-native services.

Explore Azure →

Hybrid Cloud

For environments where different workloads need different platforms, brought together into one managed architecture.
