VDC

Virtual Data Centre – An introduction

Node4’s Virtual Data Centre Service (VDC) is our modern Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), delivered from our own UK Based Data Centres.​

VDC is secure by design, meeting strict ISO 27001:2018 controls. Robust security is fundamental to the service, which is why we provide DDoS protection, firewalling and secured instances at no additional cost. We also ensure data at rest is encrypted as standard.​

We’re passionate about giving our customers value for money – that’s why VDC is designed to provide the cost efficiencies of Public Cloud, without the unpredictable costs and micro-billing.

VDC is Node4’s market leading VMware IaaS platform, offering no-contract, pay as you go infrastructure. VDC is proving highly attractive as it offers a compatible VMware infrastructure for existing workloads, with a familiar interface for self-service management for IT admins.

Many organisations are leveraging VDC for maintaining VM workloads, to save the business having to commit to refreshing aging hardware and signing up to long term, costly software agreements that can restrict future agility.
