Private Cloud Hosting in London
Dedicated, fully managed private cloud hosting from our own UK data centres. Your own isolated environment, guaranteed resources and predictable pricing.
100% NETWORK UPTIME PROMISE · ISO 27001 & 9001 · OWN UK DATA CENTRES · FULLY MANAGED · UK SUPPORT
A private cloud gives your business its own dedicated, isolated environment on our hardware, in our own UK data centres, without the noisy-neighbour performance and surprise egress bills of public cloud. Sequential Networks designs, builds and fully manages the platform: guaranteed resources, dedicated storage, a dedicated firewall and unlimited VMs, all backed by our own private network and a 100% network uptime promise.
What is a private cloud?
A private cloud is a cloud environment dedicated entirely to one organisation, rather than shared across many customers like public cloud. You get the flexibility, self-service and scalability of cloud, with the security, control and predictable cost of dedicated infrastructure.
With Sequential, your private cloud runs on ring-fenced hardware in our UK data centres. You get your own operating systems and dedicated pools of CPU, RAM and storage, isolated from every other customer, so performance stays consistent and your data stays where you can account for it.
Why choose Sequential’s private cloud
Most providers resell hyperscaler capacity or hand you a shared platform. We run our own: dedicated hardware, our own network and our own UK data centres, fully managed by our engineers.
- Our own UK data centres and private network: your platform runs on infrastructure we operate in Warrington and London (Telehouse, Harbour Exchange and Canary Wharf), not a reseller’s.
- Guaranteed resources, no overallocation: 100% of your resources, 100% of the time, with no noisy neighbours.
- All-inclusive, predictable pricing: guaranteed bandwidth, unlimited traffic and no data-transfer or egress fees, billed hourly or monthly.
- ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified (UKAS): security and quality independently audited, with your data kept in the UK.
- Dedicated, resilient hardware: dedicated SAN with RAID, redundant power and multiple transit carriers behind a 100% network uptime promise.
- Fully managed by UK engineers: we handle the virtualisation, patching and monitoring; you focus on your applications.

Migration & management
Moving is straightforward.

Our UK engineers plan the migration, design and set up your environment and manage it end to end, with a consultation up front so the platform fits your workloads.
One joined-up stack
Private cloud is strongest as part of a joined-up stack. Because we run the whole thing, we can build around it:
- Pair it with a leased line for private, uncontended connectivity
- Public and hybrid cloud for workloads that suit a mix
- Colocation in Telehouse, Harbour Exchange and Canary Wharf
- Dedicated servers and VPS
- IT support and procurement
One supplier, one bill, one team across connectivity, cloud and colocation.
