What We Deliver
Cloud services have transformed the way many organisations work – helping IT teams to offer more agile IT services, scale usage according to need, and reduce the risk of getting stuck on costly legacy IT.
But at the same time, it can be tricky to find the right mix of SaaS, IaaS or PaaS offerings; to manage migrations; and to understand where a cloud provider’s responsibility ends and yours begin.
At Redpalm, we help you make the most of the cloud. We can support you as you access the Microsoft Azure public cloud platform – and we also have our own public cloud, redCLOUD, for a more tailored approach.

What is Cloud Hosting?
Whilst traditional web hosting uses a single physical server to store data, cloud hosting uses virtual and physical servers spread across multiple locations. Using fully cloud based architecture to host applications and websites, cloud hosting removes the need for on-premise services, reducing maintenance requirements. Not only this, cloud hosting allows you and your team to access your data from anywhere in the world.
Cloud hosting services were initially reserved for high-tech industries operating on advanced digital platforms. Now, cloud hosting has become increasingly popular with all kinds of businesses and has transformed the way these organisations operate. From agile IT services and scaled usage to cyber security compliance, cloud computing offers a huge variety of benefits.

The Features of Cloud Hosting Services
Distributed Infrastructure and Automation
Cloud hosting services operate across multiple geographically distributed data centres rather than a single physical location. These data centres are typically certified into tiers, with many organisations opting for tier 3 or tier 4 facilities due to their high levels of reliability, security, uptime and redundancy. Alongside this distributed setup, cloud platforms use advanced automation technologies that enable seamless resource scaling, self-service management, software updates and system changes, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted operations.
Supports Databases
When choosing a hosting service provider, it’s crucial to pick one that supports different databases. Two of the commonly used databases are Oracle and SQL. As cloud hosting supports both databases and more, it’s the viable solution for a diverse range of applications including basic as well as high-performance demands.
Scaled Resources
When scaling your operations, you will often need to install additional equipment or upgrade your existing equipment to ensure that your servers can keep up with the growing demands. If your servers are overloaded, it could lead to poor service or downtime, thereby halting your daily operations. By moving your company’s IT services to a cloud platform, you don’t need to worry about upgrades or new servers. Cloud hosting services can quickly scale the resources to suit your organisation’s needs in real-time.
Types of Cloud Hosting
1. Public Cloud
Public cloud hosting uses a network of physical servers to provide a flexible and scalable virtual hosting environment to multiple clients. While the physical server infrastructure is shared by other companies, each virtual network is isolated to prevent companies from suffering performance bottlenecks or being able to access someone else’s data.
2. Private Cloud
If your organisation wants more control on the security in use and where the data is stored, the private cloud may be the ideal cloud hosting solution for you. With private cloud hosting, the infrastructure isn’t shared with other cloud accounts, allowing you to maintain a physically distinct environment.
3. Hybrid Cloud
The infrastructure of the hybrid cloud incorporates private cloud, public cloud and on-premises computing. The hybrid cloud solution offers a highly flexible computing environment that can be beneficial for various types of organisations and applications.
4. Managed Cloud
Managed cloud hosting provides a full range of infrastructure, virtual machines and application-level support and services required to host your applications.

This distributed setup improves reliability, performance and uptime, while allowing organisations to scale resources on demand and access data securely from anywhere.
Cloud services offer greater flexibility, scalability and cost efficiency compared to traditional IT infrastructure. Organisations benefit from improved performance, reduced hardware and maintenance costs, stronger security controls, and the ability to adapt IT resources quickly as business needs change.
