Public cloud adoption has grown substantially as entire workforces have moved to the home office. But for many, it’s far from the default choice thanks to concerns with cloud security, business-critical application performance, and the complexity and time associated with refactoring traditional customer applications.
Private Cloud is an end-to-end solution that allows you to take full advantage of the agility and automation of public cloud, with the performance, security, and predictability you’re used to from a private data centre.
It’s unique in its ability to provide choice to our customers, putting you in control of your IT delivery supply chain. You can choose your hosting location (on-premise, BT-hosted or via a third party), select modular technology stacks, pick a suitable commercial consumption model, and choose from a variety of add-on services including security, professional services, and managed services.

Not all customer workloads can make the move to public cloud because of key factors such as:
• The complexity and cost of migration
• The cost of refactoring traditional applications
• Specific performance requirements
• Security and regulatory conditions
• Potential bill shock and a higher total cost of ownership (TCO) for public clouds when it comes to managing traditional applications.
In fact, many organisations have tried out public cloud, but then decided to revert to private cloud.
“85% of IT decision makers have repatriated workloads from the public cloud to ensure security and performance.”
