lock-in
Our PaaS is based on an open standards architecture, ensuring users are not locked into a specific vendor. This gives organisations the flexibility to switch platforms or providers without facing compatibility or integration challenges.
Operating system
CiCloud PaaS allows users to select their preferred version of the database and operating system, including Unix and Windows, enabling them to align their application environment with their specific requirements and preferences.
Secure UK data centre
CiCloud’s Platform as a Service is hosted in a government-approved UK Data Centre, providing users with a high level of security and compliance. This ensures that data is protected and meets the necessary regulatory standards.
Enhanced performance
With CiCloud PaaS, users can leverage load balancers to increase application performance and capacity. This enables efficient distribution of traffic across multiple servers, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.
Rich marketplace
Our PaaS offers a comprehensive marketplace with a wide range of preconfigured applications. This includes cloud-native microservices and legacy applications, providing users with a diverse set of options to meet their specific application requirements.

OUR PAAS SERVICES
Managed Kubernetes
We provide a range of features to help you manage your Kubernetes infrastructure, including automated upgrades, scaling, monitoring, and logging. Whether you are deploying a single application or managing multiple clusters, we provide a seamless and hassle-free experience.
With our Platform as a Service (PaaS), you can run your applications in a highly secure, resilient, and scalable Kubernetes environment, without worrying about the complexities of managing the infrastructure.
Here are the four benefits of a Kubernetes platform:
Scalability
Kubernetes provides an easy and efficient way to scale containerised applications, by allowing users to easily increase or decrease the number of containers running within a cluster.
Portability
Kubernetes is a platform-agnostic technology that can be run on any infrastructure, whether it's on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
Resilience
Kubernetes provides self-healing capabilities, which means that in the event of a failure, Kubernetes can automatically restart or reschedule containers.
Automation
Kubernetes provides a powerful set of automation features that allow users to automate many of the tasks associated with managing containerised applications.
