Edge Infrastructure leader brings greater control, compliance and security for UK businesses looking to reinforce critical data assets
Pulsant today announced the launch of Pulsant Private Cloud. Designed to support clients with their rising digital sovereignty requirements, it will help ensure compliance with emerging regulations, and mitigate rising costs of public cloud and data transit. With owned and operated data centres, access to a private ecosystem of partners, and private on-ramps to public cloud, data security is at the heart of Pulsant Private Cloud.
With data residency an increasingly prevalent concern, Pulsant Private Cloud represents a compelling proposition for both hyperscale clients looking for flexibility and sovereignty in the way their data is managed and transferred, and on-premise users who recognise that they need more from their infrastructure.
“According to Accenture, 37% of European enterprises have already invested in new infrastructure models, with a further 44% planning to in the next two years,” comments Mike Hoy, CTO, Pulsant. “But in achieving best sovereignty practice, UK businesses must ensure that their data is not only stored close to home within UK borders, but that it resides in a secure, resilient, and connected infrastructure.
“Pulsant Private Cloud transcends these three areas, providing confidence and trust. This in turn helps organisations to reinforce the digital core necessary from which to exploit new technologies. Private AI, that is AI applications hosted in a private cloud, mitigates risk in the form of unauthorised data sharing and security breaches, and delivers more tailored and reliable performance. And with private data volumes estimated to be nine times greater than public data on the internet, keeping AI models close to data sources unlocks powerful opportunities, helps alignment with business models, and fosters innovation."

Notes to editors
Pulsant Private Cloud has been designed to support Data Sovereignty, Resiliency and Privacy as follows:
Sovereignty
Pulsant Private Cloud reduces transit costs and ensures compliance with industry and governmental regulations by hosting critical workloads in one of Pulsant’s UK owned and operated data centres (Croydon LN-1, Newcastle NE-1 and Edinburgh SC-1). This delivers:
Resiliency
Critical business workloads and applications must be hosted on an infrastructure that is always available. Experiencing any downtime greatly reduces reputation and trust with customers.
For an organisation to be truly resilient in building their own infrastructure, they must buy two of everything to achieve redundancy. This greatly increases operational costs and becomes complex to manage.
Pulsant Private Cloud is highly available with minimal downtime, guaranteeing that workloads are always online, and avoid the high cost and complexity of self-provisioned resiliency.
With three geographically diverse host locations Pulsant Private Cloud provides access to the whole of the UK. Private connections to Edge Fabric, Pulsant’s own private network backbone, gives a whole host of interconnectivity to DCs, carriers and clouds, and offers the following:
Privacy
Sensitive and critical data cannot be stored on public cloud, and on-premise introduces capital expenditure on equipment and complexity around management.
Public cloud services are accessed via public internet putting their data at high risk of exposure and higher latency.
Through hosting workloads in the appropriate location to effectively serve customers with private connections to carriers, data centre and public cloud, Pulsant Private Cloud offers the following:
