BASEFARM CLOUD – OUR PRIVATE CLOUD

Basefarm’s private cloud services can be tailored to individual customer needs by providing managed compute, storage, and networking based on best-of-breed solutions in a multi-tenant or fully dedicated setting.

Our private cloud is suitable for both Microsoft Windows and Linux-based workloads. All private cloud services are delivered from our own data centers located locally in Norway, Sweden, and The Netherlands.

MANAGED COMPUTE

With Basefarm’s Managed Compute services, mainly based on VMware vSphere, we offer management and operation of virtual services, which provides scalable and cost-effective handling of business-critical tasks. The virtual servers are dynamically distributed across several physical servers in two or more of our data centers via Basefarm’s highly accessible network cloud for data communication and access to flexible storage resources. You pay only for the resources you actually use.

Our private cloud solution is primarily based on multi-tenant infrastructure components, all shared in a secure and efficient manner. Thus, you can benefit from a larger base of resources without having to pay for everything individually and without compromising on security.

Security and flexibility

If you are subject to strict compliance requirements and are looking for a cloud-based solution with robust security, our private cloud solution may be the way to go. We can provide dedicated, secure cloud solutions that take full advantage of all the features the private cloud has to offer. The biggest difference is that our private cloud has higher security and quality and gives you full control over your data.
