Hybrid Cloud in London
The best of private and public cloud in one joined-up platform, from our own UK data centres. Secure where it matters, scalable where it counts.
PRIVATE + PUBLIC COMBINED · OWN UK DATA CENTRES · GUARANTEED RESOURCES · ISO 27001 & 9001 · UK SUPPORT
A hybrid cloud lets you run each workload in the right place: sensitive, business-critical systems on a secure private platform, and variable or bursty workloads on scalable public cloud. Because Sequential runs private cloud, public cloud, colocation and connectivity ourselves, we can build a genuine hybrid environment, designed, connected and managed as one, in our own UK data centres.
What is hybrid cloud?
Hybrid cloud combines private cloud (dedicated, isolated resources) with public cloud (scalable, on-demand resources), and optionally your own colocated hardware, into a single environment. You decide what runs where, and move workloads between them as your needs change.
The point is not to pick one model, but to use each where it is strongest: control and security on the private side, elasticity and pay-as-you-go on the public side.
Why choose Sequential for hybrid cloud
Plenty of providers resell one cloud. We run the whole picture, so we can join it up properly:
- We run all of it: public cloud, private cloud, colocation and connectivity, so we build a true hybrid rather than bolt separate clouds together.
- Our own UK data centres: your private side and your data stay in the UK, in facilities we operate.
- Guaranteed resources on the private side: 100% of your resources, 100% of the time.
- Optimise cost and performance: run each workload where it fits best, with no egress surprises.
- ISO 27001 and 9001 certified: security and quality independently audited.
- Fully managed and joined up: one supplier for design, build, connectivity and support.
Public vs private vs hybrid
| Public only | Private only | Hybrid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scalability | On-demand burst | Fixed, dedicated | Burst public, steady private |
| Cost | Pay-as-you-go | Predictable | Optimised across both |
| Security | Shared | Dedicated, isolated | Sensitive on private |
| Best for | Variable workloads | Regulated, critical | A mix of both |
The benefits
Scalability
Public cloud pay-as-you-go scaling for heavy or unpredictable traffic.
Security
Keep business-critical apps and data on a private, isolated platform.
Cost efficiency
Run each workload where it is cheapest, without compromise.
Performance & HA
Guaranteed resources, no overallocation: 100% of resources, 100% of the time.
Flexibility
Move workloads between private and public as your needs change.
One platform
Private, public and colocation, joined up and managed by us.
One joined-up stack
Hybrid only works if the pieces are properly connected. Because we run them all, we can join it up:
- Private cloud for your secure, dedicated side
- Public cloud for scalable, on-demand workloads
- Colocation for your own hardware
- A leased line, MPLS or SD-WAN to tie it together
- IT support and procurement
One supplier, one bill, one team across your whole environment.
Frequently asked questions
What is hybrid cloud?
A hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud, and optionally your own colocated hardware, into one environment, so you can run each workload in the place that suits it best.
Why choose hybrid?
You keep sensitive, business-critical data on a secure private platform while using public cloud scalability for variable workloads, optimising cost, performance and control.
Can you connect it to my existing systems?
Yes. We join private cloud, public cloud and colocation with our own connectivity, including leased lines, MPLS and SD-WAN.
Where is my data hosted?
The private side sits in our own UK data centres. We are ISO 27001 certified and your data stays in the UK.
Is it managed?
Yes. Your hybrid environment is fully designed, built and managed by our UK engineers.
How is it priced?
Pricing is matched to your mix of workloads, with all-inclusive private-side pricing and no egress surprises. You can also get 3 months free with a trial or consultation.
