3. Infrastructure
as a Service
With K3 Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), we take care of all your core
technology, storage and networking
capabilities, so you don’t have to.
Delivered to you on-demand, IaaS
provides the ultimate flexibility and
security, leaving you to concentrate
on what you do best - running your
business.
Building the infrastructure required
for business-critical applications
can place huge demands on your
IT staff - and keeping it up-to-date
can be an expensive business, not
to mention a huge responsibility
for the management team. It is no
longer a viable option for many
organisations. With IaaS, you pay
monthly for hosted server, network
and storage services according to
how much you use, allowing you
to free up capital, deliver service
levels that exceed your customer’s
expectations and leave your IT team
free from operational tasks to focus
on business development.
A hosted Enterprise Class Cloud
Service, our IaaS is built on the very
best technology. Underpinned by
service level agreements (SLAs),
based on things that matter to you
and your users, you add and remove
services when you need to, so you
can keep track of how much you’re
spending and manage it accordingly.

4. Business growth -
With infrastructure ready to
use, your IT staff are free to
focus time and resource on
application innovation, rather
than operational tasks
Flexible service - Our diverse
portfolio is built on modular
services, so you can pick and
choose what’s right for you
Dynamic scaling - Additional
infrastructure, users and services
can be added or removed quickly
and easily so you can scale up or
down when you need to
Straightforward payment -
usage is metered, so you only
pay for what you use
Investment cap - K3 Hosting’s
investment cap allows companies
with limited capital to invest in
hardware and infrastructure to
manage their spending
Total Cost of Ownership
reduction - Capital Expenditure
(CAPEX) becomes Operational
Expenditure (OPEX) so there’s no
hefty upfront fees
Accessibility - Infrastructure can
be accessed from any location on
any device, with multiple tenancy
usage, giving you the flexibility to
do business on the go
Green IT - Reduce your
businesses’ environmental
impact with optimum use of IT
resources and systems

5. With K3 Hosting’s Platform as a
Service (PaaS) there’s no need
to buy or maintain hardware or
operating systems. Instead, you can
rent it all from us via the Internet
– including storage and network
capacity – saving you time, money
and hassle.
Developed from our popular
Software as a Service Cloud offering,
K3 Hosting PaaS delivers the perfect
platform for running your existing
applications or developing and
testing new ones over the web. We
will host and manage all of your
operating systems, freeing up your
developers to create the software
that will add real value to your
business. Plus, you can benefit from
all the latest features, without having
to worry about maintenance or
upgrade pain.
Simple, scalable, reliable, PaaS
integrates all your infrastructure
services into one secure platform. No
matter how geographically spread
your team, they can gain access,
removing the need for hardware
serving duplicate functions, as
well as the stress that comes with
incompatibility.

6. Zero upfront infrastructure
costs - PaaS removes the
initial capital outlay of pricey
infrastructure, and with that
eliminating all the risk involved
Spend less - Not only does PaaS
greatly reduce the costs involved
in the development, deployment
and hosting of business
applications, hosting costs are
minimal - and you only pay for
what you use
No hassle - With any major
computing resource comes
the cost and aggravation of
maintenance. With PaaS, K3
Hosting handles all of that for
you
Greater reliability - Our focus
is making sure your business’
mission-critical systems keep
running, no matter what. K3
Hosting has the skills and
technology to provide enhanced
reliability. And in the case of a
faulty server or hardware device,
we’ll make sure transition is so
quick and easy, you’ll barely
notice
Easier to manage -
By centralising and monitoring
all resources for the deployed
solution, our PaaS takes another
weight off your mind, and lets
you get on with running your
business
Competitive edge – You’re free
to focus on your business goals,
safe in the knowledge all of the
applications you need are there
for you to use
Benefits of Platform as a Service

7. Software
as a Service
K3 Hosting’s Software as a Service
(SaaS) hosts applications in the
Cloud, so you can access them via
your web browser, whenever you
want and wherever you are.
We understand application
management is vital in today’s
business environment; Microsoft
Exchange, Office and ERP have
become mission-critical applications
for many organisations. But
application management is time
consuming, and it can be challenging
to achieve high levels of availability
and performance without busting the
budget.
Our SaaS model for hosting
applications offers the ideal solution
to these issues. We’ll manage
access to the applications you
need, including security, availability,
upgrades, maintenance and
performance, so you’ll get the same
benefits of commercially licensed,
internally operated software without
the complexity and CAPEX.
K3 Hosting’s Private Cloud for SaaS is
unique. With a monthly pay-as-you-
go model, SaaS can be customised
to suit the number of users and the
service level you require. That way
you only pay for what you actually
use.
We’ll design, deploy and manage a
new application platform tailored
to suit your needs exactly, without
compromising on security, availability
or flexibility. And our service desk is
open 24/7, monitoring and managing
your applications, so you can rest
assured your application is always
available.

8. Improved productivity &
mobility - Applications can be
accessed online securely via the
cloud from virtually any location
and on almost any device
Pay for what you use - A pay
monthly custom subscription
model allows you to scale up and
down with your business, whilst
only ever paying for what you
need
Customised for you - SaaS can
be customised to fit your
business, from the number of
users required to the level of
service you want
Fuss-free upgrades - New
software upgrades come as part
of the package, and we put all
new releases in place centrally,
so you don’t have to worry about
physically installing new software
on site
No need to invest in high-spec
local infrastructure -
All applications are managed
by K3 Hosting in the cloud,
removing the costs associated
with investing in expensive
computers, software updates,
training and specialist IT support
staff
Improved data security -
Our SaaS applications are dual
hosted in two highly secure, fully
compliant, ISO certified Tier 3+
UK based data centres, so your
data is safe and secure
Expert support - All SaaS model
users are supported 24/7 by
K3 Hosting’s highly-trained, UK-
based technical support team, so
expert help is available round the
clock

9. Disaster Recovery
as a Service
Too many businesses leave their
organisations open to compromise
or leave assets underutilised
because of budget restrictions.
K3 Hosting Disaster Recovery as a
Service (DRaaS) provides a simple,
affordable means of disaster
recovery for your business.
With our award-winning DRaaS you
get peace of mind your IT systems
are all securely backed up in the
Cloud, so should the unimaginable
happen your business can keep
running, with minimal disruption. Not
only that, we’ll also reduce planned
outages - in many cases eliminating
them completely.
From customer information to
important corporate accounts, all
your critical data can be stored on
our secure offsite servers, where it
will be safe from hardware failure,
theft and any other threat. And
because our service level agreements
state simply what you can expect
from us, you have assurance you’ll
get the Recovery Point Objectives
and Recovery Time Objectives you
need to keep your business running,
no matter what.
K3 Hosting goes above and beyond
traditional data recovery services,
so in addition to our resilient
offsite infrastructure, you’ll benefit
from excellent breakdown cover
too. When it comes to workplace
recovery, we have access to over
7,500 work area positions and more
than 14 purpose-built recovery
centres across the country, so you
have access to in excess of 500,000
sq. ft of workspace should you need it.

10. Peace of mind - You can work
(and sleep) safe in the knowledge
if anything happens to your
IT systems, everything’s fully
