Key features of the WCP
UK sovereign cloud platform
Platform services are delivered from UK data-centre locations, supporting solutions where UK data location is required.
Resilient platform architecture
N+1 architecture uses redundant compute, storage and networking components so the platform doesn’t depend on any single component.
Enterprise compute and all-flash storage
Access enterprise compute and all-flash storage without buying and maintaining the shared infrastructure yourself.
Predictable resources and costs
Resources are sized to an agreed design and delivered through a managed subscription, making infrastructure budgets easier to plan.
Customer separation and network segmentation
Customer environments are logically separated through network segmentation and routing controls, with additional managed security services available where required.
Integrated connectivity
Connect the WCP with private networks, internet services, MPLS, SD-WAN, VPN, customer infrastructure and wider cloud environments.
Continuous monitoring
The underlying platform is continuously monitored, with events reviewed 24/7 by our security operations centre.
Managed platform operations
We manage the underlying infrastructure, hypervisor and management plane, reducing the day-to-day platform management burden on your internal team.
Configurable data protection
Add backup, retention, additional copies, immutability, replication and recovery options according to the requirements of your workloads.
Controlled transition
Move suitable workloads in phases, supported by requirements gathering, solution design, migration planning, testing and transition into service.
Benefits of the WCP
Modernise critical infrastructure without giving up the control, cost visibility or operational clarity your organisation needs.
Retain control over critical workloads
Gain clearer visibility of where agreed workloads run, how the platform is operated and where responsibilities sit.
Reduce capital infrastructure requirements
Move away from repeated hardware refresh cycles and consume defined infrastructure resources through a managed subscription service.
Improve cost predictability
Size resources around an agreed design, giving you greater budget visibility without relying entirely on variable consumption.
Reduce pressure on internal teams
Spend less time managing the underlying infrastructure, hypervisor and platform lifecycle, creating more space to focus on applications and business priorities.
Align resilience with business impact
Design availability, backup, replication and recovery around the criticality of each workload rather than applying the same approach everywhere.
Modernise in manageable phases
Start where change will make the greatest difference, prove the approach and expand when there is a clear business and technical reason to do so.
Create a foundation for hybrid cloud
Connect the WCP with your existing networks, on-premises infrastructure, colocation and wider cloud services, helping put each workload where it makes the most sense.
Managed infrastructure with clear responsibilities
Clear ownership matters as much as the technology underneath it.
We manage the shared compute, storage, networking, management and virtualisation components through to the hypervisor layer as standard.
Responsibility for guest operating systems, applications, customer configurations, security tooling and data remains with you unless one of our managed services is included within the agreed solution.
Backup, disaster recovery, security and additional support are aligned to the services selected within your agreed solution. That gives you a clearly defined operating model built around your workloads, internal capabilities and required level of support.
