phoenixNAP —
Bare Metal Cloud, Managed VMware & Veeam-Powered DR Under One Operator

phoenixNAP is positioned for mid-market and enterprise organizations whose workloads need predictable, dedicated infrastructure rather than shared multi-tenant cloud — and that want VMware, Veeam, and bare-metal capabilities under a single managed operator. The strongest fit is buyers in financial services, healthcare, regulated industries, SaaS independent software vendors, and managed-service providers that need IaaS, Bare Metal Cloud, Managed Private Cloud, Veeam-based Backup and DRaaS, and colocation in one accountable engagement rather than separate hyperscaler, backup, and DR contracts.

Bare Metal Cloud is dedicated single-tenant physical infrastructure delivered with cloud-style provisioning — API-driven deployment, by-the-hour and reserved-capacity options, and infrastructure-as-code automation — without the noisy-neighbor and hypervisor-overhead trade-offs of multi-tenant cloud. The model is purpose-built for workloads that need consistent latency and throughput (databases, ML training, transaction processing, regulated workloads, NFV) where shared-tenant cloud cannot meet the performance or compliance posture, but where a traditional colocation procurement cycle is too slow.

phoenixNAP Managed Private Cloud is a fully managed VMware-based environment — vSphere, vSAN, NSX, vCAV — operated by phoenixNAP rather than the customer. The model fits enterprises currently running VMware on-premises that want to consolidate VMware infrastructure with a managed operator under predictable subscription economics rather than re-architecting onto a hyperscaler. The same VMware operating model applies — workload migration is a lift-and-shift rather than a refactor, and the customer keeps existing operational tooling, runbooks, and skills.

phoenixNAP operates a Veeam Cloud Connect practice covering Cloud Backup and Replication Services, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, and VMware DRaaS via vCAV — delivered as productized programs rather than do-it-yourself integrations. The model fits organizations that already standardized on Veeam for on-premises backup and want a Veeam-native cloud target for off-site retention and DR rather than a tool migration. Microsoft 365 backup specifically addresses the gap that Microsoft itself does not cover with a true backup product.

Data Security Cloud Advanced is phoenixNAP's purpose-built secure-infrastructure tier — built for workloads where the underlying compliance posture (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001) is itself a procurement requirement rather than a customer-built overlay. The platform integrates security controls (encryption, segmentation, audit logging, identity and access management) into the infrastructure layer rather than asking the customer to assemble them from third-party tools, materially shortening the path to attestation for regulated workloads.

No. Your engagement is signed directly with phoenixNAP and phoenixNAP's standard service terms apply. Fibi's role is to scope your IaaS, Bare Metal, Managed Private Cloud, Veeam Backup, DRaaS, or colocation objective against phoenixNAP and the most relevant alternatives — so you see how phoenixNAP's VMware-and-Veeam depth and global infrastructure footprint compare before signing. Fibi's advisory work is provider-funded, so the comparison comes at no additional cost to your business.
