The power of performance and ease

100% network uptime guarantee

A stronger foundation for workloads that cannot afford unnecessary risk. Liquid Web’s private cloud has a 100% network uptime guarantee and a 59-second support response time by phone and chat, giving organizations greater operational confidence.

Resource-based pricing

Predictable spend matters just as much as technical performance. Liquid Web positions hosted private cloud around resource-based pricing, no inbound network overage fees, and no charge simply for creating new VMs inside your environment. That gives teams a more practical way to forecast costs as they scale

Hassle-free migrations

Moving to a new environment should not require a rebuild from scratch. Liquid Web explicitly states that it can migrate existing workloads, whether you are already using VMware or another hosting solution, and offers consultation on the best migration path for your environment

Why choose Liquid Web private cloud?

Private cloud isn’t just about virtualization—it’s about removing friction so your business can move forward. Liquid Web’s private cloud is built for teams who need isolation, flexibility, and a predictable way to operate. High performance, full management, and customizable deployments mean you get the benefits of VMware without the headaches. It’s a strong fit for organizations that need compliance, performance, and control, without putting the burden back on your team.

VMware-powered virtualization

Private cloud pools resources across servers to create isolated virtual machines and networks. With VMware, you get a single-tenant environment that lets you run multiple workloads flexibly—without the limits of fixed hardware.

Multi-tenant or dedicated private cloud

Use dedicated private cloud to guarantee absolute hardware isolation and deterministic power for mission-critical, regulated apps, or leverage multi-tenant private clouds for cost-efficient scaling without the security risks of the public cloud.

Custom VM deployment and broad OS support

Your environment shouldn’t be boxed in. Spin up or down managed VMs without hardware changes. Use a flexible catalog of templates or bring your own media. This makes it easier to modernize or migrate your workloads.

Flexible storage, backup, and connectivity

Choose NetApp SAN for traditional sites or VMware vSAN for data-heavy workloads. Acronis backups and site-to-site VPN are included, so you have the resilience and connectivity you need.

Benefits of private cloud hosting

Stay ahead of digital transformation without the hidden costs of public cloud. Private cloud provides a high-performance foundation that evolves as fast as your business does.

Scalability benefits

Scale on demand
Compute and memory resources are instantly provisioned the moment demand rises, so your end users experience the fastest possible connections at all times.

Improve resource distribution
Deploy workloads to different physical nodes as your needs change. Resources are 100% yours to distribute, providing a consistent, high-performance output without contention.

Security benefits

Customize security measures
Deploy zero-trust architectures and custom protocols at the kernel and hypervisor level. Unlike public clouds, private cloud puts you in full control of your security.

Simplify compliance
Hosted private clouds address compliance for high-stakes frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. And with a managed private cloud like Liquid Web’s, you can offload control requirements.

Cost benefits

Shift from CAPEX to OPEX
Private cloud eliminates the massive upfront capital investment of on-premises servers. By moving to a service-based model, you avoid hardware and data center costs.

Limit cloud spend sprawl
By moving away from the complex variable-pricing models of a public cloud, you can stabilize your IT budget and achieve a higher return on investment.

VMware private cloud FAQ

A private cloud is when a single business entity or end user has sole access to the hardware and software resources designated in a specific cloud computing environment.

Private cloud environments can be hosted at an onsite data center, although more organizations are turning to hosted private clouds with either colocation facilities or managed services.

A private cloud server is an isolated (otherwise known as single-tenant) and secure environment comprising resources pooled from multiple servers using virtualization. This type of cloud is only available to select organizations rather than the general public. At the same time, it ensures that those organizations are sufficiently isolated from each other. It is generally offered as a monthly lease.

In terms of who manages these environments, that can depend on who has official ownership of that private cloud server. Private cloud servers can either be on-site or hosted on a cloud provider’s infrastructure/offsite data center.

There is no setup fee for standard private cloud hosting. Custom private cloud solutions on dedicated hardware carry a one-time setup fee equal to the monthly cost of your selected plan.

Multi-tenant private cloud hosting is architected with numerous enterprise private cloud servers, all pooling their resources to make up virtual data centers for customer use. This helps ensure high availability and lowers your costs — you’re only paying for the resources that you need. Pricing will vary according to your specific needs. Multi-tenant infrastructure also allows for rapid scaling of resources when you do need more than you typically require.

Dedicated private cloud hosting provides a fully isolated environment for your virtual data center, with all the resources of multiple single-tenant dedicated servers exclusively allocated to you. This makes it a more customizable option, and also a more powerful and secure one that’s well-suited to a wider range of compliance and enterprise performance needs. As dedicated VMware private cloud is a fully custom solution, pricing will be quoted according to your specific infrastructure needs.

While the public cloud’s pay-as-you-go model offers initial flexibility, it often obscures the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through hidden charges like network bandwidth. In contrast, a managed private cloud can be more cost-effective by eliminating the need for upfront hardware purchases—reducing CapEx and bypassing supply chain delays—while providing the financial predictability of a dedicated environment.

The transition to private cloud also addresses significant security anxieties, as 95% of IT professionals express concern over public cloud security. By moving away from the risks associated with multi-tenant (shared) environments, a managed private cloud allows you to leverage third-party expertise and maintenance without compromising sensitive data on shared servers.
