BT Compute
Fast, flexible access to our virtual data centre services
Keep ahead of your competitors and make the most of new technologies with our award-winning, enterprise-class virtual data centre services, supported by industry-leading experts. If you need more space for new servers, or you need to bring in new applications and update your systems, you can save money, improve your services and cut risk with our fully customisable range of BT Compute services. We offer 99.95 per cent service levels too.
Two types of virtual data centre
On Demand Compute lets you create, use, monitor and manage your virtual data centre service through a secure portal. It includes a range of predefined storage, server and security services you can configure to suit your needs and change, any time. Services that took months to create now take days and what took days to manage now takes minutes.
And you only pay for what you need, when you need it. So you can scale up or down to suit your business, and potentially cut your existing cost of ownership by up to 40 per cent.
Private Compute lets you build private services from proven templates to integrate with existing systems in a way that’s specific to you. We can manage your private virtual data centre in one of our shared facilities or you can manage it in your own data centre. Either way, you’ll get the added security that goes with infrastructure set aside exclusively for you.
Best of both
The best solution for your business may be a mix of both On Demand Compute and Private Compute offering fast, flexible access to the latest data centre technology, with specially configured elements to suit your unique needs. Whichever option you choose, the benefits are clear.
The latest technology, at your service
We’ve invested heavily in research and development – so you don’t have to. Our services and expertise are some of the best available, which means you can focus on your core business. And because everything’s managed and maintained by us, you’ll get the benefits of the latest technology with minimal up-front cost, or none at all.
Greener by design
Exploiting the latest technology means more environmental efficiency and a lower carbon footprint. BT has won awards for its green credentials – for instance, the Green Award was one of four we picked up at the World Communication Awards in 2010.
Local infrastructure and support
For added security and ease of use, our On Demand Compute services are available in Europe with local infrastructure, and in local languages too.
“The BT’s virtual data centre offered us a number of advantages. It’s very flexible and, with minimal set-up time, we could get to market far more quickly. No significant up-front capital expenditure was necessary, and the charging regime is transparent.”
- James Davies, Application Development Manager, Norton Rose LLP
“We know at a technical level that the virtual data centre itself is incredibly secure.”
- Mike Pickett, Manager of Digital Infrastructure, ICT Solutions, Norfolk County Council
"At the end of last year, BT responded to organisations’ cloud-based concerns by introducing On Demand Compute across Europe. Private Compute is another major step forward in our ability to address the complex needs of our enterprise and corporate customers. This is another clear demonstration of our innovation, investment and commitment to our customers to take them beyond the hype to focus on deliverable business benefits."
- Neil Sutton, vice president, global portfolio, BT Global Services
