Virtual Data Center
Launched in late 2011, Claranet's Virtual Data Center gives users complete control over their data platforms, as it is configured to meet the needs of each company and is accessible from anywhere.
Just two months ago, in June, the Virtual Data Center received the Award for Best European Cloud Infrastructure from the Datacentres Awards. At that time, the key features highlighted were the integration of virtual infrastructure and the network access that the solution offers.

Claranet's Virtual Data Center has been designed based on the results of rigorous independent research conducted through interviews with IT managers about their concerns regarding the adoption of Cloud technologies. Following this research, Claranet was able to identify the three main barriers that these managers encounter when considering migration to the Cloud: low flexibility of the service, lack of data security sovereignty and complexity in the migration process. Acero explained the decisions made after this survey: "After learning about the market's concerns, we decided to create a service that included the integration of Cloud infrastructure and network services, as well as offering an agnostic hypervisor platform. Finally, regarding data sovereignty, our service guarantees the hosting of data in the country chosen by the client. With all this, we managed to address the three main concerns of users.
