Traditional private cloud typically requires users to purchase a physical server and host it within a data centre, bringing with it both purchase and maintenance costs. Hyve’s new ‘Virtual Private Cloud’ offers a virtualised hypervisor to multiple users on shared hardware, where they can install and run their own virtual machines, networks and security services.
Delivered to users ‘as-a-service’, Hyve’s Virtual Private Cloud offers the familiar cost and performance benefits of many other cloud-based IT infrastructure services. Organisations that previously would have operated multiple servers to meet specific needs, can now simply add additional hypervisors within the same shared environment.
Hyve will also offer its ‘extra mile’ service and support options, giving customers a comprehensive, high performance and cost-effective option that reduces capital expenditure.
“We have developed what is effectively the industry’s first virtual, virtual cloud environment,” explained Jake Madders, Director of Hyve Managed Hosting. “It will offer users a whole range of new options and benefits, not least the ability to save on the hardware and support costs of a traditional private cloud environment. We are excited to bring this innovation to market.”
“Hyve’s Nested Hypervisor provides us with a sandboxed environment that gives us the freedom to develop and test our API calls to the ESXi host, without risking the live environment or the servers within. We are able to develop at a fraction of the cost, as we no longer need to purchase the hardware to run Hypervisor services” – Sergei Prokopenko, CEO Storytelling Software.
