IT service provider Hivelocity has launched a private cloud offering powered by VMware.

Announced on June 25, the private cloud uses the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Cloud Director, and NSX architectures, as well as Hivelocity's pre-built infrastructure.

The offering is built on Dell R750 servers and has backup solutions and recovery provided by VEEAM. In addition, the cloud has multi-site replication and recovery with low latency.

"As businesses seek to optimize their cloud expenditures while maintaining the necessary capacity and functionality for mission-critical workloads, private cloud presents a compelling option," said Scott Fuhriman, Hivelocity’s CTO.

"Hivelocity has developed a platform tailored to these needs. Whether it's navigating VMware licensing changes, refreshing outdated hardware and upgrading to modern architectures, or requiring instant access to available capacity, Hivelocity’s private cloud solution and expert team are ready to deliver."

“We are excited to offer enterprise-grade, advanced private cloud capabilities,” added Jeremy Pease, CEO of Hivelocity. “This service is another impactful infrastructure solution that is being seamlessly integrated with our extensive bare metal cloud and our broader data center and network footprint. This integration allows customers to manage their private cloud environments effortlessly, with comprehensive tools and support at their fingertips. It gives them the ability to deploy applications on the right infrastructure optimized for their needs.”

Hivelocity is known for providing bare metal dedicated servers, VPS hosting, and colocation solutions. The company has been operating for more than 21 years and has a presence in more than 40 international locations across six continents.

In April of this year, Colohouse acquired Hivelocity. Pease said at the time: “Together, Colohouse and Hivelocity create a unique, next-generation provider that places the customer’s needs and success at the forefront, providing them with the connectivity and computing power required to deploy and manage modern applications and data.”
