Experience, expert support and a relentless focus on customer outcomes
Explore the answers to common questions and discover how Virtual Private Cloud hosting helps organisations operate securely, efficiently and with confidence.
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is your own dedicated cloud within the DCS platform. It offers the scalability and flexibility of a public cloud infrastructure, but with the isolation and control of a private environment.
Your compute, storage, and network resources are reserved for your organisation alone, providing predictable performance and enabling rapid scaling as your requirements grow.
Depending on the software you use and any vendor restrictions, you can use your own licensing on the VPC.
No. We're committed to transparent, predictable pricing, and there are no egress or data transfer charges for our VPC.
You can choose from a range of commercially flexible billing options to match your operational and budgetary needs.
Our platform is geo-redundant and designed to deliver 99.99% availability.
We always recommend that your business implement additional data protection strategies, such as off-site replication, to ensure data is protected against accidental deletion, cyber threats, and ransomware.
This is not included as standard, but our CloudCover Recover can be easily added to provide full disaster recovery capabilities.
A Virtual Private Cloud, or VPC, is an isolated, secure cloud platform used by a single tenant, within a larger, multi-tenant infrastructure.
This configuration allows each tenant to use discrete resources (RAM, CPU, storage, etc.) allocated from the total pool within the wider infrastructure.
Rapid scaling of resources (like a public cloud) is possible without new hardware, and because resources are ring-fenced for that specific tenant, it does not introduce contention issues.
Data backup is not included with the VPC as standard but we strongly recommend our customers have a solution in place.
Our CloudCover Vault solution is a comprehensive, cost-effective cloud backup solution that can be added to your VPC solution to provide robust protection for your data.
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) data network is a secure, logically isolated network dedicated to a specific tenant within the VPC.
These virtual dedicated networks work no differently than normal network infrastructure and contain IPs, routing, firewalls and security etc., but each is isolated for use and configuration by an individual tenant.
A Virtual Private Cloud is a multi-tenant cloud infrastructure in which tenants have dedicated, isolated environments and discrete resources drawn from the pool available across the platform.
A Private Cloud is a stand-alone infrastructure where all hardware is dedicated to a single tenant.
We provide both types of platforms at DCS depending on our customers' requirements, challenges and the outcomes they need their IT infrastructure to support.
