VMware vSphere Private Cloud

Leaseweb’s vSphere Private Cloud solution is your cloud, your way, from the ground up.

With Leaseweb’s vSphere Private Cloud solution it’s your cloud, your way. You'll receive your dedicated rack with customized CPU, RAM and network connectivity. Resource packs let you run multiple VMs on your private cloud infrastructure. Set up any type of VM with the operating system of your choice and have total freedom to allocate resources such as CPU and memory as needed. You can also configure storage capacity and network traffic independently to create your optimal business environment – with the option to add dedicated firewalls and load balancers.

We'll provide the hardware and virtualization layer, as well as a dedicated technical team to monitor it all for you. You’ll have peace of mind with even our Basic SLA, but for those that want that little bit more, you’ll have upgrade options to choose from too.

Key Features

Maximize flexibility with Hybrid Cloud

It's your cloud, your way. Mix and match bare metal with private cloud in a single environment? You’ll receive your dedicated rack with CPU, RAM and also connectivity. You’ll also have the option to add firewalls, load balancers, and servers as you need them, or rapidly provision VMs for dynamic horizontal scalability.

Enjoy fully redundant infrastructure with built-in high availability

N+1 redundancy at the ESXi host level and 2N redundancy at the software and storage levels ensure no single point of failure, while the virtualization layer supports active failover for instant disaster recovery. If it detects a failure, the VM restarts on a surviving host without any need for manual intervention.

Robust SAN-NAS integration offers dynamic storage elasticity

Receive access to premium enterprise-class redundant storage using Netapp storage arrays. All of our storage systems are highly available and reliable. We use full flash storage arrays for our private cloud solutions to offer the best performance.

Powerful management tools provide visibility at every level

Manage your entire virtual infrastructure through one centralized console. It maintains full control of your environment via automated proactive management processes. You can use templates to create VMs in turn-key fashion, view graphs of the resources to realize optimization possibilities, and access VM consoles to track everything from boot.

Isolated environments for enhanced security

Single-tenant environments provide the best levels of security. Each of our private cloud solutions gives you dedicated access to VMs, and VM datastores, with the option to provide additional firewalls. You can provision everything through the management console and run your private cloud like a virtual data center.

Feature	Description
Powerful API	Cut down on manual maintenance tasks by taking advantage of the vCenter API or automate in Powershell using cmdlets provided via PowerCLI. Control your infrastructure with automated tools or integrate your private cloud with your own systems.
DDoS IP Protection	DDoS IP Protection mitigates volumetric, protocol based and application layer attacks on your VMware dedicated cloud. Our standard DDoS IP protection is included for all VMware dedicated clouds. Learn more.
Management Portal	Direct vCenter access is provided to manage your dedicated VMware cloud. This industry standard interface is use to perform many tasks, like creating a VM, templates, snapshots and much more.
On Demand Virtual Data center Hosting	Provides users with virtually unlimited amount of computing resources – on demand, as required and billed by actual usage.
vMotion	Migrate powered-on virtual machines to another host with zero downtime.
Storage vMotion	Migrate virtual machines files without service interruption from one datastore to another
Dynamic Resource Scheduler	Leverage VMware DRS technology (Dynamic Resource Scheduler), which automatically balances the load on the cluster according to workload. Set affinity rules to keep VM's together on a hypervisor or anti-affinity rules to separate critical VM's on different host
Broad network Capabilities	Support for software defined networking using VLANs. Your dedicated environment can be expanded with internal switches, firewalls and loadbalancers for maximum customizability.
Secure Cloud Deployments	n/a
Catalogs & Templates	The vCenter web client allows you to easily create pre-defined templates for efficient virtual machine deployments. Templates can be created by attaching a guest OS ISO to a blank VM or directly from existing VMs in the cloud. Further customize the template using VMware’s built-in guest customization process to tailor the template to your needs.Make use of vApps to combine related virtual machines into a virtual application.
Snapshot Management	Take multiple snapshots of your VM and easily move between points in time for every snapshot created. Schedule tasks to automatically create snapshots
High Availability	High Availability is configured to minimize VM downtime. VM's are automatically powered-on on a different host in case the current hosts fails. Higher uptime possible by configuring fault tolerance VM, where automatically a second VM is created in the cluster and kept in sync with the first VM. If the first VM fails, vCenter seamlessly switches over to the standby VM. Further mitigate downtime by creating affinity/anti-affinity rules to make sure critical VM are running on separate hosts in our cluster.
Backup & Restore (optional)	Use VEEAM Enterprise backup solution to backup your environment. (Link to VEEAM pages).
