Managed Private Cloud Solutions
What is a Private Cloud?
A private cloud is a dedicated cloud computing environment exclusively tailored to your organization’s needs. Unlike public clouds that share resources among multiple tenants, a private cloud offers enhanced security by housing your data and applications on infrastructure accessible only to your organization. This complete isolation extends down to the hardware level, eliminating the risk of “noisy neighbors” and ensuring optimal performance for your workloads.
Why Choose a Managed Private Cloud?
By opting for a managed private cloud solution, you gain the flexibility to customize your environment to meet specific performance, compliance, and integration requirements. You have full control over resource allocation, allowing you to fine-tune over-provisioning levels and even dedicate cores to critical workloads. This level of control extends to virtual machine management, enabling you to create, upgrade, downgrade, and delete VMs within your provisioned resources as your needs evolve.

Technology & Infrastructure
Storage
All data is stored on your own dedicated hardware infrastructure. You don’t share any storage with other customers which ensures highest security standards when it comes to what matters most for you: Your data. Hosted on enterprise hardware in a TIER3+ datacenter at one of our locations, you can rest assured that your digital assets are in good hands. All of our datacenter locations operate ISO 27001 and ISO 9001-compliant and are PCI-DSS certified.
Aside from security, speed is a crucial factor for I/O-intensive workloads like databases. Based on your individual needs we can equip your private cloud environment with either ultra fast NVMe-based local storage or with highly redundant Software Defined Storage that survives even multiple hardware failures. If you have mixed workloads that require both, that’s possible as well. The exact architecture and infrastructure design choices are made together with you during our initial consultation phase.
Computing
Every Managed Private Cloud environment is powered by dedicated, high-performance computing resources tailored to your specific needs. Unlike shared public cloud environments, you have exclusive access to your own hardware, ensuring consistent performance and eliminating “noisy neighbor” issues. This exclusive access guarantees that your business-critical applications always have the resources they need to operate at peak efficiency.
We understand that different workloads have varying computing requirements. That’s why we offer a range of CPU options, from general-purpose processors to high-performance cores optimized for specific tasks. During our initial consultation, we’ll work with you to determine the ideal CPU architecture and core count to match your application needs. Whether you require raw processing power for batch jobs or need to optimize for per-core licensing costs, we have a solution that fits.
Network
The underlying infrastructure of your Private Cloud is built on a robust, high-performance network designed to meet the most demanding connectivity requirements. We understand that network performance is crucial for your applications’ responsiveness and overall user experience. That’s why we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art network architecture that ensures low latency, high throughput, and maximum reliability.
At the core of our network design is the principle of abundant bandwidth. Each hypervisor in your private cloud environment is connected with dual 10 Gbit/s links by default, providing ample capacity for even the most data-intensive workloads. This generous allocation ensures that your applications can communicate efficiently both within the private cloud and with external networks, without bottlenecks.
Whether you’re running latency-sensitive financial applications, managing large-scale data transfers, or supporting a global user base, our network infrastructure is designed to provide the performance, reliability, and flexibility your business demands. With servinga’s Managed Private Cloud, you can be confident that your network connectivity is as robust and adaptable as the rest of your cloud infrastructure.
Additional Services
At servinga, we understand that licensing can be a complex aspect of cloud infrastructure. To simplify this process and provide you with the most cost-effective solutions, we offer Microsoft SPLA (Service Provider License Agreement) licenses as part of our managed private cloud service.
With SPLA licensing, you can easily run Microsoft Server operating systems and other Microsoft products on your Proxmox VE hypervisors without the need for upfront license purchases. This pay-as-you-go model allows you to scale your Microsoft environment flexibly, aligning costs directly with your actual usage. Whether you need to license entire hypervisors or individual virtual machines per core, our SPLA offerings ensure you have the right tools for your workloads while optimizing your licensing costs.
Our licensing experts will work with you to determine the most efficient licensing strategy for your specific needs, ensuring compliance and cost-effectiveness for your private cloud environment.
