Applications need different resources
Websites, databases and internal systems have different compute, memory and storage requirements. The choice of environment should start with how they run.
Compute for applications.
A network for your data
Applications need both computing resources and suitable connectivity. We offer virtual and physical servers, our own European backbone and IP transit for customers operating their own infrastructure.

SERVERS AND NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
A server is one part of the whole brief
The service scope needs to be clear
Providing a server, managing its operating system and running an application are different tasks. Establish who will be responsible for each.
Data needs a route
How users and other systems reach the server matters alongside the server itself. Organisations running their own network may also need IP transit.
COMPUTING RESOURCES AND CONNECTIVITY
Choose the environment around your application
We review resources, management responsibilities and network requirements. The brief guides the choice of virtual or physical servers and the connectivity around them.
Virtual servers
A virtual server for websites, applications and business systems. We size compute, memory and storage around the expected workload.
Dedicated bare-metal servers
A physical server dedicated to your project. We assess hardware requirements and management responsibilities around your application.
Our own European backbone
We operate a European network that also carries our IP transit service. Infrastructure and connectivity can be considered within the same brief.
IP transit
A separate service for operators and businesses with their own network. Our dedicated IP transit website provides more information.
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
Your connection.
Our network
Your connection runs on our own European backbone. The same infrastructure that powers our IP transit services.

HOW IT WORKS
From an application to a technical proposal
Map the requirements
Describe the application, users, current environment and expected workload. You do not need a finished specification to begin.
Choose the environment
We assess virtual or physical servers and the compute, memory and storage resources required.
Define connectivity and management
We agree networking requirements and service scope, including how operational responsibilities will be divided.
Plan provisioning
A specific proposal sets out preparation and handover of the environment against the agreed brief.
FOR OUR FIRST CONVERSATION
Start with what the infrastructure needs to run
Send the parameters you know or a short description of the application. We can work through the choice of environment together.
- Applications and expected use
- CPU, RAM and storage, if known
- Networking needs and user access
- Management needs and responsibilities
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What you might want to know
How do we choose virtual or bare-metal servers?
We start with the application, required resources and management approach. From there, we review both options and prepare a specific configuration.
Is application management automatically included?
Management scope and operating responsibilities are defined in the proposal. Tell us what you plan to manage yourselves and where you need help.
