Benefits

Castleton’s private cloud offers organisations large-scale infrastructure with high availability in terms of internet service, greater data security compared to public cloud, or on-premise options, with the added benefits of being scalable and cost-effective.

With four cloud services delivery models avaiable: Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Desktop as a Service
Our hosted desktop solution (DaaS) enables you to host your entire desktop computing environment in the Castleton cloud giving your staff access to their desktop, software and applications, from any internet-enabled device, anywhere in the world, with the familiarity of a traditional desktop environment.

Infrastructure as a Service

Castleton’s IaaS is the perfect solution for organisations seeking the use of a datacentre or a server, without the cost of managing and maintaining the facilities or hardware and automated patching of the software component, provided by Castleton Cloud services.

Software as a Service
Castleton’s Software as a Service (SaaS) can transform the way you work, with 24/7 accessibility to your applications via the Internet, for a fixed subscription fee.

We are delighted to enter into this contract with Castleton to provide the managed service offerings. Castleton demonstrated to us the best offering in the tender process and the best pricing. We are already using a range of their software products on a hosted basis, which gave them good insight into our business and we see the combined offering significantly improving our operational capability.
