Private Cloud
Private cloud gives you a dedicated IT platform, built precisely to your requirements with no shared resource, full control over your data and the performance headroom to support your organisation as it grows.
Not every workload belongs in public cloud
For organisations with applications that demand proximity to their data, strict requirements around where that data resides, or workloads that don’t lend themselves to a consumption model, public cloud is often the wrong choice. General-purpose cloud platforms can’t always guarantee where your data sits or how it’s processed – and for some organisations, that uncertainty is a risk they can’t accept.
Our approach to private cloud
Private cloud for LIMA means a dedicated infrastructure environment – compute, storage and networking – specified and sized to your requirements alone. No other organisations share your platform. You know exactly what resources you have and, critically, exactly where your data is.
LIMA designs and delivers private cloud environments built on Dell and Cisco hardware, using a carefully selected range of products that we’ve refined over years of deployment. We don’t buy what’s on offer. We buy what works, every time.
Private cloud can be deployed on your own premises or within LIMA’s ISO 27001-accredited UK data centres – giving you the control of a dedicated environment with the connectivity and resilience benefits of professional hosting. Either way, we can confirm your data sovereignty in writing.
The benefits
Complete data sovereignty
Know exactly where your data is and have it confirmed in writing. For organisations with strict compliance or governance requirements, that certainty matters.
Dedicated performance
No shared resource means no contention. Your compute, storage and network capacity is yours, right-sized to your environment and optimised for your applications.
Predictable costs
Private cloud runs on a fixed, known cost model. Once deployed, your monthly spend is highly predictable with minimal variation – no surprise transaction fees or consumption spikes.
Full flexibility on location
Whether you need the infrastructure on your premises, in a co-location facility or in LIMA's own data centre, we can accommodate it. You choose where, we handle the rest.
Why choose LIMA for private cloud?
We’ve been building bespoke infrastructure environments for decades. Our design decisions are driven by what performs, what’s reliable and what we can stand behind. We use a consistent bill of materials, all-SSD storage and high-performance networking across our builds, because performance and reliability aren’t optional.
We’ll also wrap managed services around your private cloud environment, giving you 24×7 monitoring, incident management, change management and release management under a ProActive contract – so you get enterprise-grade infrastructure with enterprise-grade support.
