Top hardware at a competitive price
We choose top-tier brands, but keep costs low by shifting more intelligence to the software layer. This allows us to work with high-performance standard hardware at a sharp price point.
Does this sound familiar?
Many of our customers tell us about the challenges they face with their hardware.
Long delivery times
You order new servers, but due to supply chain shortages, you have to wait months before they arrive.
Uncertain capacity
It’s hard to predict how much computing power and storage you’ll really need in the coming years, which makes it easy to over- or underinvest.
Complex licensing models
On top of the hardware, you have to deal with complicated software and support contracts, making the total cost difficult to forecast.
What can you expect from our hardware?
During a design workshop at the start of the project, we determine - together and based on your specific needs - which hardware is required. After purchase, the hardware is your property. Typically, it’s offered with 3- or 5-year support.
We deliberately choose high-performance standard hardware that allows parts of the system to be temporarily taken out of service for maintenance, without any impact on performance.
The use of standard hardware also allows us to implement proactive monitoring, so we can resolve potential issues before they occur.
Why our customers trust us
Hardware management
Should you manage hardware yourself?
You can manage your hardware yourself, or outsource it to us.
If you choose a managed solution, we provide a secure, fully redundant connection between your Cloud-in-a-Box and our operations center. This allows us to manage and maintain your entire infrastructure 24/7.
You remain responsible only for the virtual machines or containers. If your Cloud-in-a-Box runs on-premise, you’re still responsible for housing, cooling, and power supply, as these are physical elements we can’t control remotely.
In a colocation setup, however, all of these aspects fall under our responsibility, since your solution is hosted in our data center.
Why choose Epact as your partner?
Many providers offer cloud solutions. But we go further, offering unique advantages that make the difference.
