Right Workload, Right Place
Private Cloud
We manage private cloud infrastructure across UK data centres. delivering predictable performance, sovereignty assurance, and cost control for workloads that benefit from dedicated infrastructure.

The Right Infrastructure for
The Right Infrastructure for the Right Workloads
Not every workload belongs in public cloud. Private cloud makes sense when predictability, control, or sovereignty requirements matter.
Private cloud fits when:
- Predictable workloads with consistent resource needs
- Performance-sensitive applications requiring guaranteed resources
- Regulatory requirements demanding infrastructure control
- Long-term workloads where economics favour owned infrastructure
- Data sovereignty needs requiring specific jurisdictional placement

how synapse delivers private cloud
Private cloud isn't just infrastructure. It's continuous management for performance, cost, and resilience.
HOW WE DELIVER PRIVATE CLOUD
1. Infrastructure Options
We provide private cloud across multiple UK locations.
What's included:
- VMware-based private cloud (Dell VxRail, Dell PowerEdge)
- Dedicated compute, storage, networking
- UK data centre placement (owned facilities available)
- Tier 3 certified infrastructure
- Carrier-grade connectivity

HOW WE DELIVER PRIVATE CLOUD
2. Performance Management
We ensure private cloud delivers predictable, guaranteed performance.
What's included:
- Resource allocation and capacity planning
- Performance monitoring and optimisationNo "noisy neighbour" (when other customers' workloads affect your performance)
- Performance commitments
- Proactive capacity management
Why this matters:
Public cloud performance varies with demand. Private cloud provides guaranteed resources for performance-critical workloads.
HOW WE DELIVER PRIVATE CLOUD
3. Cost Optimisation
We manage private cloud costs and optimise workload placement.
What's included:
• Total cost of ownership (TCO) modelling
• Workload placement analysis (private vs public cloud)
• Capacity rightsizing
• Cost forecasting and tracking
• Workload rebalancing when economics change
Why this matters:
Private cloud can be more cost-effective than public for predictable, long-term workloads. We model economics continuously.
See Cost Control for complete cost optimisation approach.
HOW WE DELIVER PRIVATE CLOUD
4. Recovery Confidence
We protect private cloud workloads with tested backup and DR.
What's included:
- Backup across private cloud infrastructure
- Disaster recovery to secondary sites
- Annual recovery testing
- Cyber recovery capabilities
- Documented recovery procedures
Why this matters:
Private cloud provides sovereignty and performance. but recovery must be proven, not assumed.
See Recovery Confidence for complete recovery approach.
DELL TITANIUM PARTNERSHIP

Priority Support: Direct escalation paths. Technical account management. Proactive support.
Why you need both
PRIVATE + PUBLIC CLOUD OPTIMISATION
The Cloud 3.0 reality:
Most organisations run workloads across private and public cloud.
The challenge:
Workloads get placed once, then left static. even as requirements and economics change around them.
Example:
- Year 1: Workload placed in private cloud based on performance needs
- Year 2: Usage pattern changes, now highly variable
- Result: Paying for dedicated private infrastructure for elastic workload
The Adaptive Cloud Approach
Predictable, consistent workloads are typically best placed in a private cloud for cost efficiency.
- Variable or elastic workloads suit the public cloud, which provides flexible scaling.
- Performance-critical or regulated workloads are better hosted in a private cloud to guarantee resources and control.
- Development and experimentation benefit from the public cloud due to rapid provisioning.
- Long-term, stable production workloads often favour the private cloud for total cost of ownership advantages.
- Workloads requiring global scale are well suited to the public cloud’s worldwide infrastructure.
This approach focuses on workload optimisation rather than platform lock-in.
See Cost Control for the workload placement methodology.
SOVEREIGNTY AND COMPLIANCE
UK and Crown Dependency Options
Private cloud provides infrastructure control for data sovereignty.
Owned infrastructure options:
Tier 3 Data Centres:
- Isle of Man (Crown Dependency)
- Jersey (Crown Dependency)
- Guernsey (Crown Dependency)
Why Crown Dependencies matter:
Self-governing jurisdictions distinct from UK/EU. Provide sovereignty options for organisations with specific compliance needs.
See our certifications and credentials...
WHY SYNAPSE FOR PRIVATE CLOUD
Infrastructure Expertise + Outcome Accountability
See just a few of the reasons why organisations choose Synapse for private cloud:
Dell Titanium Partner: Top UK Dell partner tier. VxRail and PowerEdge expertise. Competitive pricing. Priority support.
Owned UK + Crown Dependency Infrastructure: Tier 3 data centres. Sovereignty options. Carrier-grade connectivity. Independence from hyperscalers.
Not Locked Into One Platform: We optimise total infrastructure (private + public cloud). Not locked into one platform. Workload portability when economics favour it.
It doesn't end there...
Start With Private Cloud
Not every workload belongs in public cloud. If you need predictable performance, sovereignty assurance,
or cost control for stable workloads. Private cloud makes sense.
