Interoute Virtual
Data Centre
Virtual Data Centre (VDC) is Interoute’s scalable,
fully automated Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
solution. VDC provides on demand computing,
storage & applications integrated into the heart
of your IT infrastructure.
Interoute VDC is the first cloud computing solution that can be
deployed with the simplicity and convenience of the public cloud,
combined with the security and confidence that a private cloud brings.
The ability to offer fully automated public and private cloud on the
same platform makes VDC unique.
Interoute Virtual Data Centre combines computing virtualisation in the
cloud with network virtualisation in the ground. VDC delivers virtual IT
infrastructure as a fully automated online service and connects across
Europe using Interoute’s virtualised MPLS fibre optic network.
With VDC you don’t have to spend time and effort on installing and
managing firewalls between your Virtual Data Centres, because
all data traffic is inherently secure as it moves between them. This
advanced technology gives you the choice between having VDC
delivered as a private cloud service via your corporate VPN or as a
cloud service via the public Internet - or both.
The VDC Data Centres are not isolated but built into Interoute’s
pan-European network which spans more than 60,000 km of lit
fibre, making VDC Europe’s largest cloud services platform. The
network advantage means we don’t charge you for any data
transfers in and out of your VDC or between VDC zones.
Interoute VDC is the virtual equivalent of a real physical data centre.
It gives you the same control and resource as having your own data
centre but without the cost of buying equipment, power, colocation,
network and manpower.
Within your Virtual Data Centre you can choose to build your
server, switching and storing in exactly the same way as you
would in the physical world. You can specify RAM, CPU and
storage to create any configuration you want, as often as you like.
This allows you to add new applications, services and customers
as fast as your sales demand.
Interoute VDC has all the benefits you expect from a cloud;
computing infrastructure, elasticity, pay-as-you-go pricing and
real-time deployment. But VDC is not simply a cloud of virtual
servers. It is a completely new approach to designing and
operating a secure computing solution, which gives you an actual
data centre you can control with a click on Europe’s largest cloud
computing platform.
Interoute Virtual Data Centre is a truly unique cloud computing
platform – the first without compromises.

What makes Interoute VDC stand out
from the cloud?
Private and public cloud on one platform – Using Interoute’s
pan-European virtualised MPLS network, you can create a private
connection directly into VDC using your corporate VPN or you
can simply access VDC via the public Internet. You can also use a
combination of both.
Keep your data within your control – You can choose where to
put your data in one of our VDC zones in Geneva, Amsterdam,
Berlin, Paris and London. This helps ensure your business
complies with European data laws. In addition, keeping your
data in Europe, with a European cloud provider, means it is out
of reach of the U.S. Patriot Act.
Move your data for free – If you decide to move your data, we don’t
charge you for any data transfer between our VDC zones in Geneva,
Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and London. In fact, we don’t charge you to
move data within your VPN and VDC sites or the public Internet.
One platform, any application – Interoute is the first to
virtualise both computing, storage and the network. This unique
combination means you get a secure cloud service which you can
tailor to match all your applications.
Integration – Because VDC exists within the Interoute network,
we can integrate it securely into your network and IT infrastructure
where you want it. With VDC, you can enjoy a large public elastic
computing solution or a highly secure certified private solution.
VDC’s flexibility makes it perfect for the world of hybrid legacy
architectures. Interoute VDC can be your first and safest entry into
the new economic revolution of cloud computing.
Security – Interoute’s customers include many of the world’s most
demanding enterprises and governments. The same expertise from
serving these customers went into creating VDC. It is a secure cloud
within a secure network, using proven MPLS technology to separate
and protect your data, applications and other sensitive corporate
assets. Within the actual VDC Virtual Machine environment you
can create VLAN segregated, DMZ enabled, multi-tiered networks.
Interoute VDC can replace your current IT infrastructure without
compromising security.
Elasticity – Interoute places no limitations on the amount of
machines, storage or network you can provision. VDC can
expand and shrink to match your business needs. Our API
ensures that your costs can be set to track demand precisely and
automatically, making Interoute VDC the most cost effective and
secure platform available.
Resilience – Because Interoute VDC is built into the fabric of one of the
world’s largest networks and because we don’t charge for connections
between Interoute Virtual Data Centres, you can now build real resilience
at a fraction of the traditional cost. This solution is so cost effective, it
redefines the future of computing and how you can do business.
No vendor lock-in – Interoute supports multiple hypervisors so
migrating your existing cloud service to Interoute can be done
without causing compatibility problems. To give you freedom from
technology and supplier lock-in, images and data can easily be
downloaded and migrated from VDC to another solution. Combine
this with sophisticated networking and Interoute VDC makes
migration easy.
Fully automated service – You can start using VDC today by
visiting www.interoute.com/vdc. Using the online portal, you can
be ready to provision your first instance in minutes.

VDC is fully automated and available on demand
online from the Interoute CloudStore
www.cloudstore.interoute.com
So, you can provision entire ICT solutions
into your own Virtual Data Centre environment
in just a few clicks.
Customise your machine – Each Virtual Machine can be
customised with a variety of CPU, RAM, storage, backup and
disaster recovery to allow bespoke system builds. These high level
controls help you avoid spending money on unused resources.
Integrate with existing systems – Use our API to control your VDC
infrastructure direct from your existing applications. Save time and
resource by using the API to code CPU, RAM and Disc changes
directly into your systems.
Create your own appliances or use prebuilt templates – Interoute
has created the most popular appliances and loaded them in our
CloudStore. You also have the freedom to create or upload your own
appliances and manage a private service catalogue for your business.
Role-based administration – You can control user access within your
organisation. Your community can get up and running fast because
IT managers can use their own controlled builds for creating and
controlling the cost of their service catalogue.
Measured service – Active reports allow you to monitor the usage
of VDC services. You can use this information to allocate resources
within the VDC environment, so your consumption never exceeds
your budget.
Simple pricing – There are two purchasing models; Utility and Commit.
sUtility pay-as-you-go pricing. Each virtual resource is priced
per hour of allocation and the total amount used is charged at
the end of each month.
sCommit pricing. Charges a fixed rate per month for a
set amount of resources. Packages are available in Small,
Medium and Large. If you need to, you can still burst beyond
your committed resource, which is charged according to the
associated rate card.
