Cloud Hosting Solutions
As an early adopter of Virtualisation and Cloud technologies, Sleek has a huge amount of experience in delivering cloud services from our Data Centres. We also have extensive experience of virtualising server estates and consolidating IT resources within an organisation’s business operations to take your services to the Cloud.
We were one of the first companies in the UK to work with the Citrix Xen products (originally Xensource) and today have a huge number of virtualisation services and servers using the main commercial hypervisors within our Data Centres. We have a comprehensive range of cloud solutions and migration tools available to assist you in your move to a cloud environment.
If you are looking to reduce your operational hosting costs at a time when data centre and IT costs are spiralling, or wish to take advantage of the key benefits cloud solutions offer, a cloud hosting service may be the solution for you.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing has become a broad term used to describe technology that is delivered to the end user as a service and where the end user has no or little knowledge of the physical location or the configuration of the environment that delivers that service. Typically, the service is enabled by virtualisation technologies using large clusters of multi-tenanted physical hosts and storage silos to present a number of Virtual Machines to the end user. These Virtual machines can often have the resources available to them flexed up and down on demand, in order to meet the changing work profiles of the customers’ business. In addition, end users are presented with management tools that allow them to self provision their own computing resources and monitor the day to day performance of those VM’s. Cloud computing is often presented as a utility based model where computing resources and storage are billed as a metered service similar to a traditional public utility such as electricity or gas. This has proved attractive for some businesses that prefer operational expenditure to paying one-time capital expenditure for a platform that might have infrequent intensive computing tasks.
However, Cloud Computing by definition is not all things to all men and therefore the term has evolved to encompass a wider range of principles and models for delivery that more accurately make the overall concept attractive to a broader set of business needs. This has come about because whilst the core principles of cloud technology (Virtualisation, Metering, Fault Tolerance, Scalability, Self Provisioning & Maintenance) are generally attractive to most businesses, the traditional enabling infrastructure was often architected in a way that prohibited its adoption by a large set of users such as corporate’s, financial institutions and those generally requiring mission critical, secure and compute intensive environments. As a result, Sleek now offer three distinct variations - Public, Hybrid and Private.
