Server colocation, rack space and cloud hosting for business workloads

ICC Cloud Services

A dedicated cloud platform for virtual infrastructure

When you need servers without buying hardware, ICC Cloud is the service site to review virtual servers, storage and network options. Colo ICC keeps the conversation connected to your wider infrastructure plan, including hosting, colocation and connectivity.

Use this section to decide where to go next

Browse ICC Cloud for service information, then contact Colo ICC if you want help comparing cloud with rack space, colocation or a hybrid setup.

Cloud Servers

Virtual servers for applications, business systems and web workloads where physical hardware ownership is not required.

Storage Options

Review object storage, backup and snapshot-related services on ICC Cloud before deciding how your data should be handled.

Cloud Networking

Look at private networks, VPN and related network controls when planning how cloud systems will connect to users, offices or colocated equipment.

Cloud server use cases

Choose cloud when flexibility matters more than owning hardware

Cloud servers are usually the right conversation when you need infrastructure quickly, want to avoid a physical deployment, or need an environment that can sit beside hosting and colocation.

Not sure which path fits?

Compare cloud with rack space before you commit to equipment movement or a new hosting setup.

Launch New Systems

Start a website, business app or internal system without waiting for server purchase, rack preparation or physical installation.

View Services

Move Beyond Basic Hosting

Discuss cloud when a site or application needs more control than standard web hosting, but does not require owned equipment.

Discuss Fit

Test Before Expanding

Use a cloud discussion for pilots, staging environments or temporary workloads before deciding on longer-term infrastructure.

Plan a Test

Extend Colocation

Combine cloud planning with colocated equipment when some workloads should remain virtual and others need physical servers.

Storage, backup and networking

Plan storage and network needs early

Review how data, recovery and connectivity should work before you launch the cloud server.

Object Storage

Discuss whether cloud object storage is suitable for application files, archives or supporting data.

Backup and Snapshots

Clarify what needs to be protected and which recovery expectations should be planned before launch.

Security Services

Review security-related cloud options without assuming every control is automatically included in every setup.

Private Networking

Plan how cloud systems should connect with users, office networks, hosting or Colo ICC colocation environments.

Security and private connectivity

Confirm access rules before systems go live

Cloud planning should make clear who can reach each system, how traffic moves and what security controls need to be reviewed for the workload.

  • Define public, private and administrative access needs
  • Review VPN or private network requirements before deployment
  • Plan how cloud systems connect to hosting, offices or colocated equipment
Discuss Security Needs

Access Control

Decide which users, systems and administrators should be able to reach each cloud service.

Private Paths

Check whether private networking, VPN or restricted routes should be part of the design.

Hybrid Links

Plan cloud connectivity alongside Colo ICC colocation when workloads are split between virtual and physical environments.

Pricing and service details

Use ICC Cloud for current cloud options

Cloud server plans, service details and current commercial information should be checked on the ICC Cloud services page. Colo ICC can help you decide whether cloud, hosting, rack space or a hybrid approach fits the workload.

01

Check the live service page

Review the available ICC Cloud services directly before relying on any static website copy.

02

Match the workload

List the application, storage, recovery and network needs that affect the right cloud choice.

03

Compare with Colo ICC options

Confirm whether the workload belongs in cloud, web hosting, rack space or a mixed environment.

Cloud or colocation?

Choose the right place for the workload

Cloud servers are not the only infrastructure path. Some projects need virtual servers, some need owned hardware in rack space, and some need both working together.

Start with ownership, launch timing, control and connectivity. Those answers usually make the cloud-versus-colocation decision clearer.

Choose cloud when...

  • You do not want to buy, ship or install server hardware.
  • The workload needs a faster starting point.
  • You want virtual infrastructure for apps, websites or internal systems.
  • The project may change and needs a simpler adjustment path.

Choose colocation when...

  • You already own physical servers or appliances.
  • Your team needs rack space for controlled equipment placement.
  • Hardware access, power planning and network handoff matter.
  • You are moving equipment out of an office or unsuitable room.
Review colocation

Consider both when...

  • Some systems should stay virtual while others require physical hardware.
  • You need cloud services to support colocated equipment.
  • Different workloads have different control, access or recovery needs.
  • You want a staged move instead of one large infrastructure change.
