Legacy Workload Hosting

Flexible yet robust, our Enterprise Cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform enables you to transition legacy non-cloud native workloads to the cloud.

We are recognised as a key partner by Broadcom/VMware.

Features of Enterprise Cloud Legacy Workload Hosting

The Six Degrees Enterprise Cloud is an IaaS platform that enables you to virtualise traditional non-cloud native workloads either permanently or as part of a phased transition to public cloud.

Sensitive and Sovereign Workloads

The Enterprise Cloud is hosted from our UK data centres, engineered for scale but with tight security controls, and our operatives are UK-based and SC-cleared.

Oracle Workloads

The Enterprise Cloud is built to host Oracle workloads – one of the few UK-based cloud platforms that can do so.

CAPEX Model

Our flexible commercial models open up the cloud to CAPEX-centric organisations.

Unlock the cloud for your organisation

The Six Degrees Enterprise Cloud will unlock the cloud for your organisation by providing the ideal location for you to virtualise legacy non-cloud native workloads. The Enterprise Cloud is fully owned and operated in UK data centres by Six Degrees, and it is managed by UK-based, SC-cleared engineers.

 

We are one of the most highly connected cloud providers in the UK, and our Enterprise Cloud is highly secure. It has security baked into its DNA, and it can also integrate directly with our Managed Security Services – giving you peace of mind that your data is secure, monitored, and protected.

UK Sovereignty

Workload Assessment

Find your best target platform for each workload.

Our Workload Assessment is a quick, effective way to begin planning your cloud migration strategy. Six Degrees can analyse your existing infrastructure, calculate the cost of running your workloads on our Private Cloud, and compare it with public cloud pricing. The Workload Assessment simplifies the process of evaluating each workload and identifying the optimal target platform, ensuring your hybrid cloud is:

 

  • Cost optimised – minimising unnecessary spend.
  • Risk mitigated – never compromising your operational resilience.
  • Growth ready – able to scale with your business.

Your Business Challenges

Data centre hosting costs and modernisation

Many organisations are stuck in legacy data centre hosting arrangements that are costly and inflexible.

Data centre exits

With commercial space being at a premium, IT departments are under immense pressure to return space back to the organisation or not renew data centre rentals.

Data sovereignty

Many organisations operate under strict data sovereignty requirements, needing to remain within the UK both for storage and management.

Benefits of Enterprise Cloud Legacy Workload Hosting

The Enterprise Cloud offers a route out of your legacy data centre hosting arrangements to an optimised, flexible cloud platform.
The management and hosting of the Enterprise Cloud is entirely UK sovereign.
The Enterprise Cloud is highly secure, ensuring your sensitive data is always protected.

The Enterprise Cloud offers cost predictability relative to other cloud platforms.
