Covenco IaaS: Improve your IT with our flexible infrastructure service

At Covenco, we’re excited to introduce our dedicated Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). As an IaaS provider, our unique service is designed to help organisations of all shapes and sizes build a strong, flexible, and scalable IT foundation with unrivalled security, data resilience and unique automation capabilities.

Why choose Covenco as your IaaS provider?

Agility is essential for any business today. Our IaaS solution allows IT managers to quickly deploy and adjust resources as needed. With our purpose-built data centre, you can move away from the limitations of on-premises hardware or the random price model of self-service cloud providers and adopt a more flexible approach to managing your IT.

What makes Covenco’s IaaS stand out?

Our IaaS goes beyond basic virtualisation. We’ve created a comprehensive solution that meets various needs in enterprise IT:

Virtual Machines (VMs)

Easily deploy Windows and Linux VMs that fit your specific needs. Our platform supports many operating systems, ensuring compatibility with your existing applications. Covenco offers broad experience with hypervisor from vendors such as Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Citrix, Red Hat, Nutanix, VMware, Proxmox, IBM PowerVM and more. What’s more, Covenco’s alliance with Veeam means that we can move your data to any hypervisor you choose with zero disruption.

Network Infrastructure

Take advantage of our advanced software-defined networking features. Virtual Distributed Switching, Enhanced Layer 3 Routing and Switching Capabilities and Resilient Communication Circuits.

Storage Solutions

Choose from different storage options – high-speed SSDs for faster performance and recovery times – or budget-friendly HDDs for less critical applications and archive data storage. Our storage systems offer availability, reliability and growth – with redundancy features such as point-in-time snapshots and immutability to protect your important data.

Security and Compliance

Feel secure knowing that industry-standard security measures protect your Infrastructure 24/7/365. Our IaaS platform is ISO 27001 accredited, so you can be confident your data is safe, secure and fully compliant with the most demanding SLA’s. Additionally, the Covenco data centre was purpose-built from the ground up for data backup, replication and recovery, making it one of the UK’s leading Disaster Recovery service centres. This experience helps us deliver infrastructure that is always available and secure, no matter what threats you face.

Easy Integration and Management

We know how important it is for new solutions to fit into your existing systems. Our IaaS platform integrates smoothly with what you already have:

  • Hybrid cloud capabilities:
    We enable true hybrid cloud functionality by connecting our IaaS with your on-premises systems or other cloud services, providing flexibility to migrate workloads. Our IaaS supports VMware vSphere ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V, and we facilitate migrations from various hypervisors, including VMware vSphere, Azure Stack HCI, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV, Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, and Red Hat Virtualization.
  • Monitoring and analytics:
    Get valuable insights into your Infrastructure with
    our advanced monitoring tools. To optimise your operations, you can track resource use, performance metrics, and costs.
  • Let Covenco manage all of this for you:
    Our managed services team will help you set up, deploy and manage all of these services – so they are built correctly from the ground up.

Saving costs and using resources wisely

With budgets constantly under pressure, our IaaS offering helps you save money:

  • Fixed predictable pricing:
    Agreed pricing for a fixed term.
  • Resource optimisation:
    Use our intelligent scheduling and auto-scaling features to
    make the most of your Infrastructure.
  • Predictable pricing:
    Our reserved instance options for workloads with steady usage patterns can help maintain a constant price schedule with no wild fluctuations.

Expert support when you need it

While our IaaS platform is user-friendly, we understand that sometimes you need expert help. Our team of certified cloud professionals is available to assist you. If you prefer having a hands-off approach, our Managed IaaS Service can take care of everything, allowing you to focus on more significant projects instead of daily tasks.
