Hivelocity takes on the private cloud opportunity

Hivelocity, a provider of bare metal, colocation, and private cloud hosting solutions recently acquired by Colohouse, is targeting enterprises’ desire for private clouds with its new offering.

The private cloud offering leverages VMware’s platform, including VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Cloud Director, and NSX architectures. Hivelocity will provide fully integrated backup, restore, and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities and services.

Two of the benefits for enterprises are their ability to rein in costs and scale. 

By using its purpose-built infrastructure for high-performance private computing, Hiveolcity said it can address rapid go-to-market needs with the capacity to control cloud costs and navigate VMware/Broadcom licensing changes.

Hivelocity’s private cloud includes various features: 

●      Private cloud infrastructure is built on the current Dell server and Intel chip models.

●      Backup solutions with robust and fast recovery by VEEAM to minimize downtime and recovery needed on the infrastructure that can handle production.

●      myVelocity portal with self-service capabilities for ease of deployment and management.

●      Fast and scalable storage on all NVMe at all layers from production to backups powered by Pure Storage.

●      Multi-site replication and recovery with low latency across our data powered by Zerto.

“Private cloud is gaining significant traction and only increasing in demand and offers customers an option that can either complement or serve as an alternative to public cloud infrastructure, said Philbert Shih, managing director at Structure Research.
