Infrastructure as a Service

With K3 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), we take care of all your core technology, storage and networking capabilities, so you don’t have to. Delivered to you on-demand, IaaS provides the ultimate flexibility and security, leaving you to concentrate on what you do best - running your business.

Building the infrastructure required for business-critical applications can place huge demands on your IT staff - and keeping it up-to-date can be an expensive business, not

to mention a huge responsibility for the management team. It is no longer a viable option for many organisations. With IaaS, you pay monthly for hosted server, network and storage services according to how much you use, allowing you to free up capital, deliver service levels that exceed your customer’s expectations and leave your IT team free from operational tasks to focus on business development.

A hosted Enterprise Class Cloud Service, our IaaS is built on the very best technology. Underpinned by service level agreements (SLAs), based on things that matter to you and your users, you add and remove services when you need to, so you can keep track of how much you’re spending and manage it accordingly.

Business growth - With infrastructure ready to use, your IT staff are free to focus time and resource on application innovation, rather than operational tasks

Flexible service - Our diverse portfolio is built on modular services, so you can pick and choose what’s right for you

Dynamic scaling - Additional infrastructure, users and services can be added or removed quickly and easily so you can scale up or down when you need to

Straightforward payment - usage is metered, so you only pay for what you use

Investment cap - K3 Hosting’s investment cap allows companies with limited capital to invest in hardware and infrastructure to manage their spending

Total Cost of Ownership reduction - Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) becomes Operational Expenditure (OPEX) so there’s no hefty upfront fees

Accessibility - Infrastructure can be accessed from any location on any device, with multiple tenancy usage, giving you the flexibility to do business on the go

Green IT - Reduce your businesses’ environmental impact with optimum use of IT resources and systems

Benefits of Infrastructure as a Service

With K3 Hosting’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) there’s no need to buy or maintain hardware or operating systems. Instead, you can rent it all from us via the Internet – including storage and network capacity – saving you time, money and hassle.

Developed from our popular Software as a Service Cloud offering, K3 Hosting PaaS delivers the perfect platform for running your existing applications or developing and testing new ones over the web. We will host and manage all of your operating systems, freeing up your developers to create the software that will add real value to your business. Plus, you can benefit from all the latest features, without having to worry about maintenance or upgrade pain.

Simple, scalable, reliable, PaaS integrates all your infrastructure services into one secure platform. No matter how geographically spread your team, they can gain access, removing the need for hardware serving duplicate functions, as well as the stress that comes with incompatibility.

Platform as a Service

Zero upfront infrastructure costs - PaaS removes the initial capital outlay of pricey infrastructure, and with that eliminating all the risk involved

Spend less - Not only does PaaS greatly reduce the costs involved in the development, deployment and hosting of business applications, hosting costs are minimal - and you only pay for what you use

No hassle - With any major computing resource comes the cost and aggravation of maintenance. With PaaS, K3 Hosting handles all of that for you

Greater reliability - Our focus is making sure your business’ mission-critical systems keep running, no matter what. K3 Hosting has the skills and technology to provide enhanced reliability. And in the case of a faulty server or hardware device, we’ll make sure transition is so quick and easy, you’ll barely notice

Easier to manage - By centralising and monitoring all resources for the deployed solution, our PaaS takes another weight off your mind, and lets you get on with running your business

Competitive edge – You’re free to focus on your business goals, safe in the knowledge all of the applications you need are there for you to use

Software as a Service

K3 Hosting’s Software as a Service (SaaS) hosts applications in the Cloud, so you can access them via your web browser, whenever you want and wherever you are.

We understand application management is vital in today’s business environment; Microsoft Exchange, Office and ERP have become mission-critical applications for many organisations. But application management is time consuming, and it can be challenging to achieve high levels of availability and performance without busting the budget.

Our SaaS model for hosting applications offers the ideal solution to these issues. We’ll manage access to the applications you need, including security, availability, upgrades, maintenance and performance, so you’ll get the same benefits of commercially licensed, internally operated software without the complexity and CAPEX.

K3 Hosting’s Private Cloud for SaaS is unique. With a monthly pay-as-you-go model, SaaS can be customised to suit the number of users and the service level you require. That way you only pay for what you actually use.

We’ll design, deploy and manage a new application platform tailored to suit your needs exactly, without compromising on security, availability or flexibility. And our service desk is open 24/7, monitoring and managing your applications, so you can rest assured your application is always available.

Improved productivity & mobility - Applications can be accessed online securely via the cloud from virtually any location and on almost any device

Pay for what you use - A pay monthly custom subscription model allows you to scale up and down with your business, whilst only ever paying for what you need

Customised for you - SaaS can be customised to fit your business, from the number of users required to the level of service you want

Fuss-free upgrades - New software upgrades come as part of the package, and we put all new releases in place centrally, so you don’t have to worry about physically installing new software on site

No need to invest in high-spec local infrastructure - All applications are managed by K3 Hosting in the cloud, removing the costs associated with investing in expensive computers, software updates, training and specialist IT support staff

Improved data security - Our SaaS applications are dual hosted in two highly secure, fully compliant, ISO certified Tier 3+ UK based data centres, so your data is safe and secure

Expert support - All SaaS model users are supported 24/7 by K3 Hosting’s highly-trained, UK-based technical support team, so expert help is available round the clock
