iShift Cloud

A private cloud you do not have to run. Compute, storage and networking delivered from multiple data centres, built on Platform9 Private Cloud Director and operated by iShift.

What it is

Cloud infrastructure, without the data centre

You get compute, storage and networking as a service. The hardware, the platform and the day-to-day operations are ours. You size what you need, we run it, and you stop carrying a data centre refresh cycle on your balance sheet.

It runs from six data centres across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, so workloads can sit where your latency, resilience and data residency requirements need them to sit.

Where it runs

Six data centres, three regions

Place workloads where your latency and data residency requirements need them. If a jurisdiction matters to your compliance position, tell us at the design stage.

The platform

How it is built, and how tenancy works

Built on Platform9 Private Cloud Director

KVM-based virtualization with a familiar VM experience and cloud-like automation, delivered through Platform9’s managed control plane. iShift is a Platform9 Premier Partner, so the platform and the people running it come from the same place.

Multi-tenant, stated plainly

iShift Cloud is multi-tenant. Tenants are logically separated on shared infrastructure, not given dedicated hardware. If your compliance position requires physical separation, say so early: it changes the design and the cost, and it is a better conversation to have before a migration than during one.

Commercial model

What you actually pay for

Consumption-based, not a bundled platform fee. You are billed on what you use:

vCPU
Storage, per TB
Backup, per VM and per TB
Public IP addresses
Network security devices
Operating system licences
Support, against defined service level objectives
Where it fits

Getting here from where you are

iShift Cloud is the destination. These are the three things that usually happen around it.

Proof of Value

Run your own workloads on it before you commit to anything. Migrations, performance and failover, under real conditions.
