Public cloud

Helping your business make the move to the cloud

Public cloud services that work for your business

Enterprises are accessing the public cloud increasingly as an essential part of their IT operations where speed, flexibility and low costs are essential. Public clouds offer easy, speedy access to IT resources as you need them and when you need them, reducing the cost and burden of ongoing hardware and datacentre management.

We deliver multiple cloud offerings to help you get the most appropriate cloud solution, supported by tools, services and connectivity. This means that whatever cloud journey your business is taking, we can support you along that path, reducing complexity and risk.

A cloud that is simple to connect, consume and operate

Public cloud is perfect for enterprises starting out on the cloud journey or for companies who need to adopt a flexible and cost-efficient platform for public workload sharing. It’s ideal for businesses such as retail and online organisations looking for high availability production workloads and easy access or alternatively for IT professionals to deliver quick and scalable test or development environments.

We can help you find the right mix of clouds to suit your business, your people and your applications. Whether it’s providing a secure, compliant and highly performant private cloud, delivering effective public cloud and cloud connectivity on its own or as part of a multi-cloud solution, we extend your company's network, and we provide you with expert support. Maximise the business outcomes of your public cloud service with us.

We help enhance your public cloud strategy by:

  • Connecting you to all the major public clouds securely and with guaranteed high performance with our cloud connect service
    Source the same public cloud services that you're already familiar with, simplifying your IT sourcing and allowing us to act as your trusted advisor to find the right public cloud for your needs
  • Our managed services make sure that we take away the hassle of managing your public cloud and provide the tools and support needed to keep your cloud delivering for your business
  • Combine your public cloud with other cloud services from us and develop your multi-cloud strategy – you can optimise on storage, add further security services, use our global network to maximise availability or seamlessly combine with our private cloud, managed hosting or co-locations services.
  • We can act as your cloud broker, spanning multiple clouds and providing a seamless experience in areas including cloud operations, governance, financial management and service delivery through a single cloud brokerage portal
