Australian Cloud Servers . 02

Private Cloud and Dedicated Servers

Virtual machines or your own bare metal on hardware we own in Brisbane, for organisations that need to say exactly where their data lives.

Onshore, by choice

Where your data needs to stay onshore, for compliance, for policy, or simply for peace of mind, we can host it in Australia on our own platform. Where a global footprint serves you better, we can do that too.

The point is that it's a deliberate choice, made for your reasons, not a default you inherited.

What we mean by private cloud

Cloud is a slippery word, so here is ours. On our platform, private cloud means virtual machines running on hardware we own and operate in our Brisbane racks: isolated for you, provisioned and managed by us, and covered by a 99.99% uptime SLA. It is not a slice of a public cloud run by someone else, and it is not shared cPanel hosting, which carries no SLA.

If you need the whole physical machine, that is a dedicated server. If you would rather bring your own machine, that is co-location. And where isolation matters most, we can run your virtual machines on a host reserved for you alone.

What you get

01

Virtual machines

Linux (AlmaLinux) or Windows Server virtual machines sized to the workload, with SSD storage, a dedicated external IP address and a monthly traffic allowance. Windows Server and SQL Server licensing can be included.

02

Dedicated servers

Supermicro 1RU servers with dual Xeon processors, redundant power supplies, hardware RAID and IPMI lights-out management. All hardware is guaranteed and maintained while you host with us. Dedicated servers carry a 24-month minimum term.

03

99.99% uptime SLA

On virtual machines, dedicated servers and co-location, in writing. Shared cPanel hosting is not covered by an SLA, and we say so rather than blur the line.

04

Managed, or hand you the keys

We can run and manage it end-to-end, or provision it and hand you the keys. Your call. Either way, 24x7 monitoring of server performance, network and facilities, and a 24/7 on-call team for emergencies.

Built for organisations with obligations

Councils can engage us through Local Buy arrangement LB308, where Creative Intersection is a pre-qualified supplier for Virtual / Cloud (General). Our staff are police-checked and work under documented security and privacy mandates, and we're open to your security team's audits and questionnaires.

Pricing

Private cloud virtual machines from $250 a month, dedicated servers from $740, co-location from $420, all plus GST and quoted to your workload. We publish these so you can see the shape of the cost before you call, and we'll tell you plainly if a public cloud would serve you better.

Moving without the drama

Migrations are where hosting goes wrong most often: downtime, surprise costs, data that doesn't come across cleanly. We plan them properly: what moves, in what order, with what fallback, so the business keeps running while it happens.

Plenty of providers take a site or service offline for hours, sometimes days, to move it. With the coordination and preparation that twenty-plus years bring, we usually manage the switch itself in seconds. We estimate a migration up front, a ballpark at minimum and usually better, then bill the work at our published support rates.

Whether you're moving into the cloud, off it, or between providers, the goal is the same: you arrive on the right platform without the horror stories.

Need to say where your data lives?

Tell us the workload, the compliance or policy driver, and what it runs on today. We'll come back with a sizing, a straight answer on whether our platform is the right fit, and a plan for the move.
