CCNET Managed Services, LLC

Private and hybrid cloud from a provider that owns its servers

CCNET Managed Services sells cloud infrastructure under the vmXcloud brand, and it positions itself as an asset heavy managed service provider. That means, in its words, that it owns and operates its entire server farm instead of reselling another company's capacity. The company says it serves organizations of every size and industry, and that security has been the cornerstone of its cloud work for more than 20 years, with each deployment designed around cybersecurity from the start.

What the cloud platform includes

The core offer is a software-defined data center with private virtual machine compute, storage and networking. Customers can run one virtual machine or hundreds and scale up or down as needed. The company describes this as private cloud for websites, databases and everything between, and it speaks of hybrid cloud and infrastructure as a service too. It also sells colocation, including hybrid arrangements in which a customer's own equipment sits beside the provider's, plus specialized rack cabinets, high capacity power, carrier cross connects and direct internet access.

Performance and resilience claims

The company makes several claims about speed and reliability. It cites disk write latency below 2 milliseconds, throughput on the order of 10 to 20 gigabits per second in its private cloud environments, and an availability target of 99.99999 percent uptime. Resources are spread across the enterprise to remove single points of failure, and all environments come with daily full replication kept for seven days to support disaster recovery and business continuity. The provider monitors virtual machine activity and aims to clear bottlenecks before they affect the customer, advising on IOPS separation.

Moving into the cloud

Migration is a headline offer. The company says it carries out physical to cloud and cloud to cloud moves at no charge, on any workload, with help available at any hour. It describes simple deployments for organizations of any size, building blocks for different industry verticals, and secure migration of sensitive client communications and workflows.

Support

Support is described as high touch managed service from the United States, with on-site advanced assistance as well as remote help, every hour of every day. Its smart hands service covers physical work in the data center.
