Colocation

Du béton au cloud : une colocation conçue pour évoluer avec vous

Parce que vous avez besoin de plus qu’une simple ferme de serveurs : vous méritez une forteresse, un terrain de jeu et une rampe de lancement, le tout en un seul endroit.

Two men discussing a project

Infrastructure en tant que à votre service.

Notre colocation ne se résume pas seulement à un espace pour garer vos données : c'est une base qui peut se connecter de manière transparente au reste de votre écosystème informatique, de l'infrastructure dédiée au cloud public.

Avantages

Cost-effective cloud, with the whole platform behind it.


Costs you can put in a budget

You pay a set rate for what you use, and you can commit to a pool of resources for a discount on the workloads you can forecast. There are no egress fees and no IOPS charges.

Start small, grow on the same platform

Start with what one project needs and grow into dedicated hardware on the same platform when a workload outgrows shared hosts. No re-platforming, no second contract, no migration project.

You own the environment, we own the hardware

Your team owns the environments, the access controls and the firewall rules. Aptum owns the hardware and the platform layer, in data centres we operate from.

Add managed services to any of it

Your team can run all of it, and Aptum's managed services can take on the operations that are undifferentiated for your business. Shared Cloud is the most affordable entry point to Aptum's full managed stack.

Caractéristiques

Ce que vous obtenez avec la colocation Aptum :

Nous offrons un environnement sécurisé et neutre pour héberger votre infrastructure informatique critique. De plus, les services de colocation comprennent tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour que votre entreprise fonctionne à des performances optimales :

Compute on demand

Provision, resize and decommission virtual machines in minutes. A resize needs a restart, and nothing here needs a support ticket.

Networking you control

Manage private VLANs, public IPs, firewall rules, port forwarding and VPN users yourself, from the portal.

Self-service load balancing

Spread traffic across your instances with Layer 4 load balancing, sticky sessions and a choice of routing algorithms.

Storage matched to the workload

Choose Standard SSD at 2 IOPS per GB or Performance SSD at 6 IOPS per GB, and set it per workload.

Access control

Give each person the permissions their role needs, with role-based access control, and add two-factor authentication on top of it.

Infrastructure-as-code

Build and change environments in code with a full REST API and support for Terraform, as well as through the interface.

Cost visibility

See a real-time estimate before you deploy, and track spend by environment so you can charge it back to the right team or project.

Images and snapshots

Take snapshots, create virtual machines in batches, set affinity groups and bring your own QCOW2 or ISO images.

Shared Cloud or Dedicated Cloud?

The question is worth asking per workload, because it comes down to whether that workload can sit on hardware shared with other customers. Both run on the same platform, so a workload can move between them as its requirements change, and your team manages it the same way either side of the move.

At a glance Shared Cloud (VPC) Dedicated Cloud
Tenancy Your virtual machines share physical hosts with other customers Your virtual machines run on hosts reserved for you
Compute Pooled across shared hosts Reserved hosts, with no other tenants on your compute
Storage Shared storage, Standard or Performance SSD Shared storage by default, with dedicated storage available at additional cost
Pricing A set rate per vCPU, per GB of RAM and per GB of allocated storage, charged for what you use A fixed monthly rate for the hosts you reserve
Best when You want the most cost-effective route, from development through production Your workload needs consistent performance, or single-tenant hardware is required for compliance or business reasons

Both run on the same platform, self-service through Aptum Prizm. Want to operate the entire stack and control the configuration in detail? Private Cloud is the better fit.

Pourquoi la colocation Aptum

Why teams choose Aptum

Plenty of providers will sell you virtual machines. Fewer will offer you the machines, the people who run them and the advice on what to run where, on infrastructure they own themselves. Shared Cloud is one way to start working with us on that platform, and you can add the rest as you need it.

Take control of your bill

Aptum charges a set rate for what you use, with no egress fees and no charges for disk activity, so traffic spikes do not show up on the invoice. Where a workload is steady, you can commit to a pool of resources and take a discount on it.

Self-service and a support team, from one provider

Your team provisions and manages the environment itself, and Aptum's support team is on the same contract. Where the day-to-day is undifferentiated for your business, Aptum's managed services can take it on.

More than one place to put a workload

Managed services, backup and security sit on top of Shared Cloud, and our professional services team can plan and run the migration. Colocation, private cloud and public cloud sit alongside it for workloads that belong elsewhere.

Hardware Aptum owns and runs

Aptum owns and manages the hardware in data centres we operate from across Canada, the US and the UK. When something breaks, the people who answer the phone can fix the whole stack.

FAQs

Common questions

What is Shared Cloud?

Shared Cloud is Aptum infrastructure where your virtual machines run on shared physical hosts, with private VLANs keeping your environment separate. You provision and manage everything through Aptum Prizm, or have Aptum manage it for you. This model is often called multi-tenant infrastructure, or a virtual private cloud (VPC).

Is my environment isolated on shared hosts?

Yes. Private VLANs separate your environment from other customers, and your team controls access with role-based permissions.

How is it different from Dedicated Cloud?

Shared Cloud runs your virtual machines on hosts shared with other customers, which is what makes it the more cost-effective option. Dedicated Cloud reserves the hosts for you, so the full capacity of those hosts is available to your workloads and performance stays consistent. Private VLANs separate your environment in either model, and both are self-service through Aptum Prizm.

Is it self-service or managed?

Either, or both. Your team can run all of it through Aptum Prizm, and Aptum's managed services can take on the operations that are undifferentiated for your business. The mix can change as your needs do.

How does pricing work?

You pay a flat monthly rate per vCPU, per GB of RAM and per GB of storage, with no egress charges and no per-transaction IOPS fees. Your bill changes only when you change your allocation. Talk to an Aptum cloud expert for a monthly price for your workloads.

Where does my data live?

On hardware Aptum owns and manages, in data centres we operate from across Canada, the US and the UK. Each Aptum region is a fully separate environment, so your data stays in the region you choose.

Can I move to Dedicated Cloud later?

Yes. Dedicated Cloud runs on the same platform through the same portal, so you can put workloads that need their own hardware on dedicated hosts as you grow.
