Introduction to UCS
Carrenza’s Utility Computing Service (UCS) has been built to meet demand for hosted systems that offer high security, low total-cost-of-ownership and true scalability.
Designed from the ground up as an enterprise solution; Carrenza UCS allows your business to meet the demands placed on it without the barriers created by the need to invest in people and technology to support the business’ objectives.
The financial model has been structured to appeal to financial directors; removing the traditional requirement for payment in advance of service delivery and focussing spend on services backed by guarantee and away from capital expenditure on rapidly written-down assets.
Corporate social and environmental responsibility was at the forefront of the design process for Carrenza UCS, which has allowed us to deliver a service which can reduce the power usage of your hosted systems by as much as 65% and thus reduce your carbon footprint in operation by a similar margin.
How does UCS work
Carrenza UCS gives you the servers, service levels and resources you need to power your service or application without the need to buy or manage a hardware platform. Instead you choose how many virtual servers you need, servers which can be almost any size or capacity, and we connect them together with network services to form a platform tailored to your exact requirements. We then take care of the hardware, the support, the hosting, the internet connectivity, the data centre, and the security to give you a robust platform on which your business can depend.
Carrenza UCS is also genuinely scalable, it has been designed to mean you can burst any of it’s services, the number of servers, the size of the servers, the amount of storage, and of course the bandwidth, but you can do that without making a long term commitment, without having to pay huge extra fees and without any stress. It is what we all always wanted scalable to mean.
If you like managing your own servers then that is all there is to it, although we will always be there to help if you need us.
However, if you’d rather not get involved in managing your systems we can handle as much or as little of the management as you need. From database administration and patching through backups to first line application support our team is available to support you 24x7.
It is as simple as that; secure, scalable, fairly priced and with no barriers to your growth and reliability to hold you back.
