Seven ways Crown Hosting Data Centres makes it easy for government and public sector organisations to buy hosting services more quickly than traditional procurement.

Giving you on-demand access to a suite of Cabinet Office approved data centre colocation hosting and connectivity services, Crown Hosting Data Centres (CHDC) makes it easy for government and public sector organisations to purchase hosting services more quickly and efficiently than traditional procurement methods. Here are seven ways how:

1. Standardised procurement model

Delivered via a single-supplier CHDC framework agreement, you simply buy the services you need ‘off-the-shelf’. This innovative approach gives you low cost data centre services that come pre-loaded with all the security and risk assurance you need.

2. Deploy in days/weeks, not years

With pre-approved carbon efficiency, connectivity, business impact and security accreditations already in place, there’s no requirement for a full tender or selection procedure. Simply call on the services you want and fast track your time to deployment.

3. Streamlined on-boarding

Our fully defined processes are designed to smooth on-boarding. Plus our dedicated and highly experienced team is on hand to help plan and facilitate your migration.

4. IT Ready

A ready-to-go pre-installed electrical infrastructure supports rapid deployment, while ‘meet-me-rooms’ in each data room allow for fast, efficient cabling routing. What’s more, there’s no requirement for floor strengthening as cooling is delivered using innovative blade technology.

5. Connectivity on tap

Our carrier neutral data centres offer secure connectivity to PSN, N3, SLI and RLI networks, alongside a wide range of additional options that include multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, Internet and private MPLS.

6. Accommodating any requirement

With CHDC, there’s no need for complex rack forecasting – you can flex your requirements as often as you need. Both low and high density compute needs can be accommodated, and there’s no minimum volume initial commitment.

7. No lock-in

You’ll find a choice of flexible contract durations on offer, from one month to five years and beyond. What’s more, you’re free to terminate yearly without charge, subject to serving the appropriate notice.
