Questions

What teams ask before they start

Is United Private Cloud® shared with other customers?

No. It is single tenant: compute, storage and networking are reserved for you, with full control over your infrastructure.

How does it reach 99.999% availability?

With an N+M architecture: spare (M) capacity stands beside the active (N) hosts, so workloads restart elsewhere when a host fails. Software-defined compute, storage and networking keep the platform flexible.

What performance can we expect?

The platform is built on 100G networking, storage delivering 100K IOPS, a 10 TB NVMe tier and a GPU and CPU stack. Your design is sized to your workloads.

Can we run containers and serverless too?

Yes. United Private Cloud® is a multi-factor private cloud: VMs for control, containers for microservices and serverless for zero-ops, on one platform.

How does it connect to public clouds?

Through on-demand links to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, plus connectivity options with more than 300 carriers, managed alongside your private cloud.

Which hypervisors and platforms are supported?

VMware, Azure Hyper-V and KVM, with solutions for NVIDIA, Oracle and SAP.
