Private Cloud Infrastructure

A Private Cloud is a dedicated cloud infrastructure environment designed exclusively for your organisation. Unlike public cloud platforms, where resources are shared with other customers, your private cloud runs on dedicated compute, storage, and networking resources allocated only to you.

This provides predictable performance, stronger isolation, and greater control over how your infrastructure is configured.

Public cloud platforms share underlying hardware between many customers. While this offers flexibility, it can sometimes result in unpredictable performance or resource contention.

With Private Cloud, all infrastructure resources are dedicated to your environment. This means no noisy neighbours, consistent performance, and the ability to customise networking, security, and architecture to suit your applications.

By default, Private Cloud environments are delivered as unmanaged infrastructure, giving customers full control of their virtual machines and networking.

However, QuickHost can provide fully managed services, including monitoring, infrastructure management, updates, and operational support if required.

Each Private Cloud environment is deployed on its own dedicated VLAN, fully isolated from other customers.

Your cloud receives its own public IP allocations and a dedicated IPv6 network, allowing you to route services directly to the internet while maintaining private internal networking for communication between virtual machines.

Customers can also create their own internal VLANs and private networks within their cloud environment to segment applications, storage networks, or development environments.

Yes. Within your Private Cloud environment, you have full control to create your own internal networks and VLANs. This allows you to design your infrastructure similarly to how you would build networks inside your own data centre.

For example, you may create separate networks for:

• Application servers
• Databases
• Storage replication
• Development environments
• Internal services

Yes. We provide a range of pre-built operating system templates that can be deployed instantly within your cloud environment.

These include common Linux distributions and optional fully licensed Windows Server templates.

Customers may also upload and maintain their own custom OS templates if required.

Backup services are optional and can be enabled depending on your requirements.

Automated backup services store VM backups on separate infrastructure to protect against data loss. Backup frequency and retention policies can be configured based on your needs.

Yes. Private Cloud environments are designed to scale as your infrastructure grows. Additional compute nodes, storage capacity, and networking upgrades can be added without requiring a full platform migration.

This allows your cloud environment to grow alongside your applications and workloads.

All Private Cloud infrastructure is hosted in QuickHost’s UK data centre, using enterprise-grade hardware and high-speed networking.

Our infrastructure is designed for performance, reliability, and security.

Private Cloud environments are ideal for organisations that require dedicated resources or custom infrastructure architectures, including:

• SaaS platforms
• Business applications
• Development environments
• Database clusters
• High-performance workloads
• Organisations migrating from VMware or public cloud providers

Due to current global demand driven largely by AI and high-performance computing workloads, enterprise server memory is currently experiencing supply constraints and significantly increased pricing.

Because of this, the maximum RAM capacity available in a Private Cloud deployment may vary depending on current hardware availability. The capacities listed on our plans do not represent the maximum supported configuration, however actual deployed memory may depend on stock availability at the time of order.

If your workloads require a specific memory configuration, our engineers will work with you to source and deploy the appropriate hardware where possible.
