FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering common questions about Data Centre and Infrastructure Services

1. What are the 3 types of data centres?

1. Enterprise on-premises data centres, owned and operated by a single organisation, giving full control over infrastructure, security and performance. 

2. Cloud data centres, hosted and managed by a cloud service provider, offering on-demand scalability and flexible, consumption-based resources. 

3. Managed and colocation data centres, run by a third-party provider, where organisations lease secure space, power and connectivity while benefiting from professionally managed facilities. 

2. What is the typical network infrastructure?

Network infrastructure is the combination of hardware, software and services that connect your organisation’s devices, applications and systems. It includes components such as switches, routers, firewalls, access points and cabling, all working together to ensure data can move securely and reliably across your business. A strong network infrastructure provides the foundation for high performance, resilience and scalability, supporting everything from daily operations to cloud services and digital transformation.

3. What is Infrastructure as a Service?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud-based model that delivers compute, network, and storage resources over the internet on a flexible subscription basis. Instead of maintaining on-premises hardware, organisations can scale capacity up or down whenever needed, improving agility and reducing cost. It provides a modern, efficient way to support growing IT demands while keeping your infrastructure resilient, secure and ready for change.

4. What is the difference between virtualisation and hyperconverged infrastructure?

Virtualisation abstracts physical hardware into multiple independent virtual machines, letting you run many workloads on one server. Hyper-converged Infrastructure builds on virtualisation by tightly integrating compute, storage and networking into a single software-defined platform.  

This makes HCI simpler to manage and easier to scale — you just add more nodes, and compute and storage grow together.
