Managed Private & Hybrid Cloud — CloudFirst
VMware-based private and hybrid cloud run as a managed service — on-premises, in CloudFirst facilities or in third-party data centres — with a co-managed model that leaves your team full control and visibility while patching, monitoring and capacity work is handled for you.

Key Features
Same platform you already run
Environments are built on VMware, the tooling most in-house teams already use. That removes the refactoring and retraining that usually consume the first year of a public cloud migration, and it is the reason migrations here tend to be measured in weeks rather than quarters.
Co-managed, not taken away
The model is explicitly co-managed: you keep full control and visibility while the provider handles patching, backups, monitoring and the rest of the mundane but mission-critical work. Teams that have been burned by opaque outsourcing tend to care about this distinction more than about any feature.
Runs wherever the workload should sit
On-premises, in CloudFirst global facilities, or inside a third-party data centre. The location decision stays driven by latency, compliance and existing contracts rather than by where the provider happens to have racks.
Private for steady workloads, public where it bursts
Private cloud suits compliance-bound, performance-sensitive, steady-run applications, which covers the large majority of midsize enterprise workloads. Where an application genuinely needs burstable public capacity, that is managed alongside the private environment rather than instead of it.
Multi-cloud certifications behind it
Expertise spans VMware, Veeam and Zerto, with AWS and Azure certifications, so the recommendation is not constrained to one platform by capability.
Predictable cost through right-sizing
Environments are sized correctly at the outset rather than provisioned generously and trued up later — the mechanism that produces the cost creep public cloud is known for.
Scales with the team, not just the workload
The managed service scales up or down with staff changes, project timelines and organisational shifts, which is what makes it an alternative to hiring specialists you cannot keep busy full time.
Migrations without refactoring
Because the target uses the same platforms as the on-premises estate, migration does not require applications to be rebuilt. The service is designed and managed end to end rather than handed over as a runbook.

Related Services
Ransomware Data Recovery
Standby Recover for best-effort recovery on shared resources, Reserved Recover for guaranteed RTO and RPO on dedicated capacity, and a separate IBM path for AS/400 workloads. The tier is chosen per workload, so non-critical systems are not paying for guarantees they do not need.
Immutable Backup & Data Protection
Veeam-based backup for servers, endpoints, Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, encrypted in transit and at rest in an immutable repository. Backups that ransomware cannot alter are the difference between a recovery and a negotiation.
Disaster Recovery as a Service
Cold, warm and hot DRaaS on Veeam and VMware, self-managed or fully managed, with continuous replication, a written runbook and annual failover testing. Warm is the usual mid-market choice because it trades a modest RTO for a much smaller standing bill.
Virtual Desktops — VDI & DaaS
Virtual desktop estates on Omnissa, formerly VMware Horizon, with GPU-backed images where the workload needs it and all VMware and Windows licensing handled by the provider. Fits BYOD programmes and seasonal headcount, where seats have to spin up and down without a hardware cycle.
