Deliver on an assured hyperscale cloud platform
Powered by OpenStack®, UKCloud for OpenStack provides a full suite of modern, highly scalable and flexible IaaS services that address the needs of DevOps and WebOps communities. OpenStack has established itself as the open standard cloud platform on which developers are able to build agile and elastic digital solutions that are not locked into any single cloud service provider, unlike most multi-national public cloud services.
UKCloud for OpenStack is engineered specifically for organisations embracing digital transformation and delivering true cloud-native applications; facilitating the creation of elastic infrastructure as code, which can be built once and run anywhere at any time to take full advantage of the benefits of cloud. OpenStack’s ease of use and openness enable delivery of Digital by Default services and solutions on an assured, hyperscale cloud platform.
Our UKCloud for OpenStack service perfectly complements our UKCloud for VMware service, by extending our proven, highly resilient cloud solutions to offer a platform that meets the requirements of digital, cloud-native applications, yet provides all the security, assurance and connectivity benefits synonymous with UKCloud.
