Managed Private Cloud

Managed Private Cloud — Your Own Isolated Environment

You don't need to buy or house a physical server. IT KORR provides an isolated virtual environment — compute, memory, storage, and network — provisioned, monitored, patched, and managed in a Northeast U.S. data center. Not shared public cloud, not a commodity VPS: you remote in and work, and IT KORR manages the infrastructure behind it.

Conceptual architecture. Your workload runs in an isolated virtual environment on physical infrastructure IT KORR owns and operates — redundant power, precision cooling, network connectivity, and physical security beneath it, continuous monitoring and backup around it. You remote in and work; IT KORR operates every layer underneath, end to end.

Where This Fits

One Coordinated Operating Standard

Private Cloud doesn't operate in isolation — it depends on, and supports, every other layer of your environment.

Where Organizations Struggle

Common Private Cloud Challenges

01

Aging on-premises hardware

Server rooms provisioned years ago accumulate hardware operating beyond manufacturer end-of-support, with no vendor patch coverage or failure support path.

02

No capacity planning

Storage and compute capacity is frequently added reactively when systems run out of headroom, rather than planned against projected growth.

03

Single points of hardware failure

Critical file storage and application hosting running on single hardware instances create outage risk with no documented failover path.

04

Undocumented infrastructure

Multi-generation hardware environments accumulated without consolidated documentation make troubleshooting and planning dependent on institutional memory.

05

Capital cost of infrastructure refresh

Replacing aging on-premises infrastructure requires significant upfront capital that competes against other business priorities.

06

No lifecycle governance

Hardware replacement decisions made reactively, in response to failures, rather than proactively against documented age and support-status thresholds.

What "Managed" Actually Means

You Never Operate the Hardware Underneath Your Workloads

Provisioning, patching, capacity planning, hardware lifecycle, and facility operations — power, cooling, physical security — are IT KORR's responsibility, not yours. Your team remotes in and works; the operating model underneath — who provisions, who patches, who plans capacity, who replaces failing hardware — is already assigned, and none of those owners is you.

Technical Detail

Under the Hood

Virtualization architecture

Workloads are hosted on enterprise-grade virtualization infrastructure sized for both current load and headroom for growth, with resource allocation reviewed against actual utilization rather than set once at provisioning.

Customer environment separation

Hosted environments run on shared virtualization infrastructure, with customer environments separated using customer-specific VLAN segmentation and firewall-enforced access policy. Dedicated compute is available for workloads with performance or isolation requirements that shared infrastructure does not meet.

Storage provisioning and capacity management

Storage tiers are provisioned based on workload performance requirements, with capacity monitored and forecasted to avoid the reactive expansion common in unmanaged environments.

Hardware lifecycle management

Infrastructure age, manufacturer support status, and business criticality are tracked against a documented replacement policy, replacing reactive failure-driven replacement decisions.

Redundancy and failover design

Critical workloads are assessed for single points of failure, with redundancy and failover architecture recommended and implemented where business criticality justifies the investment.

Facility power, cooling, and physical security

The hosting facility runs on redundant power feeds with UPS and generator backup, and dedicated cooling engineered for server load. Physical access is controlled and restricted, with 24/7 video surveillance, environmental monitoring, and fire detection and suppression systems in place.

Which Model Fits You?

On-Premises, Hosted Virtual Infrastructure, Public Cloud, or Colocation

On-premises, hosted virtual infrastructure, public cloud, and colocation each fit a different situation. This is a starting point for narrowing down which model fits yours — not a claim that one is always cheaper or better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What is the difference between infrastructure hosting and colocation?

Infrastructure hosting means IT KORR provisions, owns, and manages the underlying hardware and virtualization platform your workloads run on. Colocation means your own hardware is housed in IT KORR's data center facility. Both are supported, and are scoped separately based on your capital and operational preferences.

Do you host physical servers or only virtual machines?

Both — dedicated physical servers and virtualized environments are supported, sized to workload requirements including performance-sensitive applications that benefit from dedicated hardware.

How do you handle hardware refresh cycles?

Hardware age and manufacturer support status are tracked against a documented lifecycle policy, with replacement planned proactively rather than reactively in response to failures.

Is backup included with infrastructure hosting?

Backup coverage is validated and integrated as part of every hosting engagement, since hosted infrastructure without independent backup coverage carries the same recovery risk as any other environment.

Can we migrate our existing on-premises servers to your hosting environment?

Yes — migration is scoped as part of the engagement, with dependencies mapped and a cutover plan documented in advance to minimize disruption.

What happens if we outgrow our provisioned capacity?

Capacity is monitored and forecasted on a recurring basis specifically to identify growth trends before they become capacity constraints, rather than waiting for a system to run out of headroom.

Do you support both Windows and Linux server environments?

Yes — virtualization and hosting architecture accommodate both Windows Server and Linux workloads, including mixed environments.

How is infrastructure hosting priced?

Pricing is scoped to workload requirements — compute, storage, and redundancy needs — rather than a flat rate, since infrastructure needs vary significantly between organizations.

What redundancy options are available?

Redundancy and failover architecture are assessed against business criticality per workload, from basic hardware redundancy to full failover configurations for the most critical systems.

Is infrastructure hosting appropriate for regulated industries?

Yes — healthcare and financial services organizations commonly use managed infrastructure hosting specifically because it brings documented lifecycle management and backup validation that ad hoc on-premises environments frequently lack.

How is my environment isolated from other customers?

Hosted virtual environments run on shared enterprise virtualization infrastructure, with customer environments separated through customer-specific VLAN segmentation and firewall-enforced access policy — not physical isolation. Organizations with workloads that require dedicated hardware can be provisioned on dedicated compute rather than shared infrastructure.

Where is the hosting environment physically located?

IT KORR's hosting infrastructure is located in a professional data center facility in the Northeast U.S. Specific facility and provider details are not published publicly for security reasons, but are available under NDA during a scoped engagement.

Do you offer hosted virtual servers, not just physical hosting?

Yes — hosted virtual servers are the most common configuration: virtual machines provisioned on managed, monitored infrastructure with backup integration, sized and scoped to your workload. Dedicated physical compute is also available for workloads that specifically require it.

Should I choose a dedicated server or a shared virtual environment?

Dedicated compute suits performance-sensitive or compliance-driven workloads that benefit from isolated hardware. A shared virtual environment runs on enterprise virtualization infrastructure with customer environments separated by VLAN segmentation and firewall policy — a good fit for typical business applications, and more cost-efficient. The right choice depends on your workload, assessed case by case.

How much RAM does my server need?

For most line-of-business applications serving 25–75 users, 16 GB is a reliable starting point; domain controllers typically run on 8–12 GB; SQL Server and ERP platforms commonly require 32–64 GB depending on database size and concurrent load. A sizing assessment produces a specific recommendation for your actual application.

Can you host SQL Server or other database platforms?

Yes — database platform hosting, including SQL Server, is sized and configured based on database size, concurrent load, and performance requirements.

How does this compare to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud pricing?

Cost comparison depends on workload profile — sustained, predictable workloads often favor managed private cloud on a fixed monthly cost, while highly variable workloads may favor public cloud elasticity. The Server Hosting Cost Estimator provides a direct comparison for your configuration.

We're replacing aging on-site servers — is that a good fit?

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons organizations move to hosted infrastructure. Aging on-premises hardware nearing end-of-support is migrated to managed hosted infrastructure with documented lifecycle management, removing the capital cost and failure risk of an aging server room.

Can we move servers out of our office entirely?

Yes — organizations relocating servers out of an office (to reduce dependency on office power and connectivity, free up physical space, or eliminate a single point of failure) are a common and well-supported migration pattern, with dependencies mapped and cutover planned in advance.

Is this a good fit for a distributed or multi-location organization?

Yes — centralizing infrastructure in a managed hosting environment is a common pattern for organizations with multiple offices, giving every location consistent access to the same managed environment rather than maintaining separate server rooms per site.
