Managed Hosting

Computacenter’s Managed Hosting service enables organisations to overcome space, power and availability constraints within their datacentres while reducing total cost of ownership

What we do

The Managed Hosting service combines immediate access to space in the most sought-after geographies such as London and Manchester, with the IT management rigour of a managed service.

The service allows organisations to:

• reduce their IT cost
• improve service and reliability
• free-up their capital and people
• access technical resources, power and space

Coupled with Computacenter’s extensive breadth of datacentre services, IT management tools and vendor relationships that limits the involvement of costly third parties, Managed Hosting reduces the total cost of ownership of your hosting requirements and includes services often charged at a premium by traditional colocation providers.

The complete service encompasses also relocation, supply, maintenance, transformation, monitoring, reporting and disposal.

How it helps

Reduced total cost of ownership:

• Our hosting charges are based on power usage at a device level

• Economies of scale for maintenance services through Computacenter’s extensive vendor relationships

Why we are different 

Our Managed Hosting offering is founded on an industrialised model that comprises best practice processes, shared resources and guaranteed service level agreements. For example:

• Europe’s only design-certified Tier IV datacentre in Romford, Essex
• Computacenter's datacentres are carrier neutral, which means you can select your preferred connectivity provider
• The investment in our Shared Services Factory enables customers to reduce cost by taking advantage of proven, repeatable and ITIL-based processes
• All customers benefit from Computacenter’s commitment to service excellence, which includes regular reporting and customer value scorecards

Where we have done it

Computacenter provides managed hosting services to customers in various industry sectors. For example, the global recruitment giant Hays embarked on a major business change programme, requiring a step change in its IT operations and infrastructure to increase competitiveness and market share. To help Hays address these goals, we provide a highly available, resilient and flexible datacentre hosting service through our facilities in Leeds and Manchester.
