GeoFlexCloud by connectionpoint

Managed private cloud and application platforms.

GeoFlexCloud is connectionpoint’s platform brand for organisations that need dedicated virtualisation, a managed application platform or a customer-specific private cloud. We design the architecture, agree the operating scope and remain responsible for support and change coordination.

Platforms built around the application.

A customer may need separation from shared infrastructure, particular storage or network behaviour, controlled data location, or a team to operate more than the hypervisor. We start with those requirements instead of forcing the workload into a fixed catalogue.

Private cloud

Dedicated virtualisation environments

Clusters designed for a defined customer environment, with compute, storage, networking and management boundaries matched to the workload.

Application platform

Managed multi-system platforms

Infrastructure and operational components for applications that span several systems and require coordinated changes, monitoring and maintenance.

Dedicated infrastructure

Customer-specific hardware

Physical systems or mixed environments where dedicated resources, hardware characteristics or licensing requirements make them appropriate.

What the design can include.

The final architecture is confirmed after technical assessment. GeoFlexCloud does not imply one fixed stack or location.

Virtualisation and containers

Virtual machines, container platforms and orchestration selected for the application and operating model.

Storage and data services

Capacity, performance, replication and failure behaviour designed around measured or stated requirements.

Network-aware architecture

Segmentation, firewalls, load balancing, addressing and connectivity designed together with the platform.

Open-source components

Open technologies are used where they provide a maintainable fit, without turning the platform into an unsupported collection of tools.

Collaboration platforms

Dedicated or customer-specific collaboration environments where a standard hosted service does not meet the requirement.

GPU projects

GPU-backed infrastructure can be assessed for suitable workloads. Hardware, availability and operating scope are confirmed per project.

Operations are part of the architecture.

A platform is useful only when responsibilities are clear after launch. We define what connectionpoint operates, what the customer or application owner controls and how changes are tested and released.

Requirements and boundaries

Workload, data location, dependencies, access, security needs and existing operational responsibilities.

Architecture and migration

Platform components, connectivity, migration sequence, testing, acceptance and rollback planning.

Documented operating scope

Updates, monitoring, incident handling, backups where agreed, application boundaries and customer contacts.

Ongoing change

Capacity, software, network and application changes are coordinated through a known technical team.

The right location for the agreed requirement.

Platforms can be designed for selected Swiss or European locations, subject to technical and commercial availability. Data location, access paths, network dependencies and recovery design are discussed before a location is selected.

Infrastructure engineers, not an anonymous cloud account

The team working on the platform understands virtualisation, systems, storage and networks. Customers have a technical contact who can coordinate across these layers.

Connectivity and Managed IT through connectionpoint

Business Internet, Layer 2, BGP transit, datacenter connectivity, Field Services and Managed IT are available through connectionpoint when they form part of the wider customer environment.
