Edge Cloud
Private cloud infrastructure, delivered in your own environment
Run a fully dedicated cloud environment from your own data centre, with UKD managing the underlying platform so your team can focus on what matters. Keep your infrastructure where it is, meet modern platform requirements, and modernise brownfield environments at your own pace.
What is Edge Cloud?
Your environment, professionally managed
Edge Cloud allows you to run a fully dedicated cloud environment within your own datacentre, with team.blue taking responsibility for the underlying hardware, licensing and platform management.
Whether we deploy new infrastructure at your site or take over management of your existing hardware, subject to a suitability assessment, the result is the same: a privately operated, fully managed cloud environment without disrupting where your workloads live.
It is designed for organisations managing brownfield infrastructure environments that need to maintain their existing footprint while moving to a more supportable and manageable operating model. For many, it removes the pressure of having to make immediate decisions about large-scale migration or wholesale platform change. Instead of forcing disruptive replatforming projects, Edge Cloud provides a practical path for incremental modernisation, backed by proven expertise as a Broadcom Pinnacle Partner.
How it works

Deploy
Our team provision and install base infrastructure at your site, or takes over management of your existing hardware where it meets our platform requirements, giving you a supported, fully managed environment without the need to replace what you already have. Subject to a suitability assessment of your current environment.
Manage
We take ownership of the underlying platform, hardware, licensing and infrastructure management, so your team focuses on workloads, not infrastructure.
