Virtual private cloud, explained
What is a virtual private cloud?
A virtual environment.
Planned around your workloads.
A virtual private cloud provides a logically separated environment for your organisation’s compute, storage and networking. The actual resource allocation and underlying hardware model depend on the chosen service; private does not automatically mean every physical host is exclusively yours.
Radian helps review application demand, operating systems, access and data-location requirements. We coordinate suitable services through delivery partners and agree what the platform manages, what your team owns and how important workloads will be protected.

The right resources.
A complete operating plan.
The features that matter, with the practical details made clear.
Private networking
Plan subnets, addressing, access paths and connectivity between hosted workloads and business locations.
Firewall & security options
Agree network boundaries, administration and any selected firewall or protection services.
Managed or self-managed
Define operating-system, application, patching and change responsibilities alongside platform management.
Explore this serviceAdministration & visibility
Review available management access, consoles and monitoring, including who can make authorised changes.
Backup & recovery
Scope recovery copies, retention and restore requirements separately from platform availability.

Make an informed choice
Choose the setup around your work.
Resource and isolation model
Confirm virtual resource allocation, storage characteristics and whether any dedicated physical infrastructure is required.
Location and connectivity
Review where workloads and backups will be hosted, how users connect and any latency or data-location requirements.
Availability and recovery
High availability supports platform operation; backup protects recovery points. Their scope, objectives and testing are separate decisions.
The practical details
Build for daily use.
Prepare for recovery.
The service should be understandable to the people administering it and the teams who rely on the applications.
Plan your setup ↗Map application dependencies
Include databases, identity, licences and connected services before moving or resizing a workload.
Protect administration
Agree access controls, roles and the process for requesting changes or assistance.
Test the useful outcome
Check application access and performance as well as the agreed restore or continuity arrangements.

A little more clarity
Virtual private cloud,
answered.
Have a question about your setup?
Tell us what you want to achieve.
Does private cloud mean dedicated physical servers?
Not always. Logical separation and dedicated physical hardware are different models. The proposal confirms what resources and isolation are supplied.
Is it automatically more secure than public cloud?
No. Security depends on design, configuration, access and operations. Compare the available models against the requirements of the workload.
Is backup included?
Only where specified. We confirm backup frequency, retention, storage location and the restore support included in your chosen service.
Can capacity grow?
Available changes depend on the platform, resource limits and commercial terms. We review growth and any application implications during planning.
Where will the environment be hosted?
The location is confirmed for the selected service. UK and international options can be discussed around users and data requirements.
Who manages the operating systems?
The agreement defines platform, operating-system and application responsibilities. Managed infrastructure does not automatically include every application task.
UK-wide service enquiries
Virtual private cloud across the UK.
For applications used across UK offices, define the isolation, routing and access you require. Logical separation, physical infrastructure, management responsibilities and recovery provisions must be confirmed for the selected hosting arrangement.
Based in Charlwood, we welcome enquiries nationwide, with a particular focus on Horley, Crawley, Gatwick, Surrey, Sussex and London. Delivery, availability and any site attendance are confirmed for your chosen service.
