Hosted resources
Provision CPU, memory, storage, network resources, and operating system support in dedicated/isolated private infrastructure sized around business workload needs.
Hosted Services / Private Cloud
Hosted Infrastructure (Private Cloud)
Run private cloud workloads on ACS-hosted compute, storage, and network resources in ACS data center facilities.
ACS provides hosted managed infrastructure in ACS data center facilities so organizations can run private cloud workloads in dedicated private environments with a 99.99% monthly uptime commitment backed by service credits.

Private cloud hosting model
Host computing infrastructure in ACS data center facilities while clearly defining application, data, connectivity, licensing responsibilities, support handoffs, service-credit-backed availability expectations, and response targets before service begins.

ACS evaluates hosting needs, defines resource requirements, provisions hosted infrastructure, and administers the hosted systems ACS manages.
What your team controls
- Applications and data
- Application licensing, data ownership, and content responsibilities
- Connectivity and communications
- Credential protection and access approvals
- Access, approvals, technical contacts, and support information

Infrastructure gaps
01
Unclear responsibilities create risk.
When infrastructure, operating system, application, data, access, and connectivity responsibilities are not clear, support routes can break down.
02
Application, data, and infrastructure handoffs are easy to miss.
Private cloud hosting becomes harder to support when application owners, data requirements, connectivity, credentials, approvals, availability objectives, and infrastructure support routes are not documented.
03
Capacity changes need a path.
Without a clear change path, resource growth, connectivity dependencies, application changes, and broader infrastructure work can be harder to plan and support.
Key capabilities
Private cloud hosting for business workloads.
Hosting readiness review
Evaluate hosting requirements, service responsibilities, resource needs, and connectivity dependencies before provisioning.
Hosted compute resources
Allocate CPU, memory, storage, and network resources, then manage hosted-instance support and capacity changes around workload needs.
Mainframe, mid-range, and VPS instances
Provision hosted instances on mainframe, mid-range, or virtual private server resources with appropriately sized compute, memory, storage, network resources, and operating system support for business workloads.
ACS data center facilities
Run business workloads on ACS-hosted private cloud infrastructure with documented resources, support paths, and availability expectations without requiring your organization to purchase the underlying hosted-services hardware.
What your team controls
Define application owners, data owners, licensing, connectivity, credentials, access approvals, technical contacts, validation steps, and support information.
Common use cases
When private cloud is a good fit.
Run private cloud workloads without owning hardware
Use ACS-hosted compute capacity without purchasing the underlying hosted-services hardware.
Define who is responsible for what
Define ACS hosted-infrastructure responsibilities alongside your organization’s application, data, communications, licensing, credential, and access responsibilities.
Plan capacity and connectivity changes
Identify when capacity changes, backup dependencies, connectivity dependencies, maintenance windows, application changes, or broader infrastructure work need a structured plan.
Next step
Need private cloud hosting?
ACS can evaluate, provision, and support hosted managed infrastructure in ACS data center facilities for dedicated private environments that need predictable support — including a 99.99% monthly uptime commitment backed by service credits, a 1-hour service-request response target, and a 4-hour critical-issue target.
