If your infrastructure requirements are 10 servers or more, or you simply want the most exclusive cloud infrastructure, Managed Private Cloud is your answer. Dedicated, managed servers are the core building blocks. With these in place, we can help deliver the applications, data, email, websites, and more that your business relies on. External IT can control and manage as little or as much as you would like.
As time goes on, you can expand and extend your private cloud, leverage third-party cloud providers for both infrastructure and applications, and add new capabilities to fit your needs.
External IT dedicated infrastructure
When we say “dedicated,” and “managed,” we mean we attend to your needs to the Nth degree. Your dedicated cloud infrastructure is both managed and monitored 24/7, and fully integrated with our administration tools, our OS33 Cloud Control Panel, and a host of other resources. Every External IT Managed Private Cloud is custom configured to match your exact specifications and managed by a dedicated team of engineers. Depending on the scale and focus of your in-house IT department, management of your private cloud can be a close partnership between External IT resources and your own, or something you check monthly on a status call.
Isolation
Your servers should serve your needs,
not the other way around.
Each Managed Private Cloud is either, 1) provisioned on dedicated servers managed separately by a virtualization layer, or 2) completely separated altogether, and residing in its own physical hardware, depending on client requirements. Our clients with Managed Private Clouds run in their own, completely isolated Windows domain.
Managing your VMs
For each of VM, External IT can provide you with a different level of support. This runs the gamet from operating system support to full-blown application management. And because it works with the Portal, your infrastructure, hypervisor layer, server configuration and management are all fully transparent.
Flexible server and storage grid options with instant scalability
"Instant" doesn't mean days, or in some extreme cases, weeks. And "scalable" shouldn't be an attribute that comes with restrictions. With External IT, you can easily select and configure the server and storage grid resources, and the accompanying services for your Managed Private Cloud.
In determining requirements, we'll ask you about backup and replication, and disaster recovery planning. We can delivery a full range of high availability commitments up to four nines. Options are extremely flexible, with servers quickly provisioned along with comprehensive OS-down and function-specific server management.
| Instantly scale and provision with on-demand resources |
| Cut storage costs by 50% or more |
| Increase utilization rates up to 80% |
| Slash downtime and eliminate disruptions for upgrades and maintenance |
| Accelerate performance and response times |
| Pay-as-you-use pricing |
Why a private cloud?
For clients with tens or hundreds of servers, the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing are too great to ignore. But for many IT environments of this scale, application architecture, legacy constraints, performance and security parameters complicate the transition from a dedicated in-house environment to the cloud.
Private Clouds are the easy way for companies with large, complex IT constructs to shift to cloud computing. And you won't spend a minute wistfully thinking back to the days when you had, "extremely high levels of customization, security and performance." You won't miss a thing. In fact, it may be appropriate for you to begin raising your expectations.
With our Private Clouds, you can scale quickly, optimize hardware resources, and enjoy utility billing. Think of it as getting the best of the cloud combined with the best of traditional managed hosting—without the limitations of either.
