The UK Cloud Built for Applications That Matter.
QTC's managed cloud platform is designed from the ground up for enterprise applications: fast cores, SSD storage, UK-sovereign infrastructure and the engineering discipline to keep it all running when it counts.
Most cloud platforms are built for general-purpose compute and then marketed at everyone. QTC's platform exists for one reason: to host business-critical applications for organisations that cannot treat infrastructure as an afterthought. UK data centres, UK engineers, performance-first architecture and no pretence that one size fits all.
Infrastructure Designed Around What Applications Actually Need
Enterprise workloads demand more than commodity cloud. Every layer of the QTC platform is built to serve the applications running on it, not the other way round.
Compute
Fast cores allocated to real workloads, not commodity vCPUs stacked high and clocked low. Dedicated resource pools sized around what the application actually demands.
Storage
SSD-first storage with tiered backup retention. Block, file and database storage designed for the I/O patterns of ERP, SITS and SQL Server estates.
Networking
Segregated tenant networks, managed firewalls, low-latency internal paths and controlled external connectivity. No shared-nothing flat networks.
Resilience
Redundant power, cooling and network paths. DR capability designed around recovery objectives, not marketing slides. Tested, documented and reviewed.
Your Data Stays in the UK. So Do Your Engineers.
Data sovereignty is not a compliance checkbox. For NHS trusts, councils, police forces and universities it is a procurement requirement, a governance expectation and increasingly a political one. QTC's platform is UK-sovereign by design, not by marketing footnote.
- UK data centres with no offshore data movement
- Named UK engineers supporting the platform end to end
- No third-country data processing or sub-processing
- GDPR-aligned data handling without ambiguity
- Full audit trail of access and change
Security That Survives a Procurement Question
Audit panels do not accept hand-waving. QTC documents its security controls, tests them and makes the evidence available when customers need it.
Firewall and Network Security
Managed perimeter and internal firewalls, network segmentation, intrusion prevention and regular rule reviews.
Access Control
Role-based access, privileged access management, MFA enforcement and documented access procedures for every customer environment.
Patching Discipline
Structured patch cycles with risk assessment, dependency checking and rollback planning. Not just automated updates pushed blindly.
Encryption
Data encrypted at rest and in transit. Key management aligned with customer requirements and regulatory expectations.
Audit and Evidence
Change logs, access records, backup verification and incident history available for procurement, audit and governance review.
Incident Response
Documented incident management with defined severity levels, escalation paths and post-incident review. Not a best-efforts promise.

Backups Are Only Useful If the Restore Works.
Anyone can schedule a backup. The hard part is knowing that the restore will work, that retention meets the regulator's expectations and that the DR plan has been tested against a scenario the organisation would actually face.
QTC designs backup and DR around the application, not just the VM. Database consistency, dependent services, access restoration and support handover are all part of the plan.
- Backup schedules aligned to application criticality and data change rate
- Retention policies designed around regulatory and business requirements
- Tested restores, not theoretical ones
- DR scenarios documented and reviewed with customers
- RPO and RTO design based on what the organisation actually needs
- Isolated backup copies for ransomware resilience
Fast Cores, SSD Storage and No Noisy Neighbours
Performance is not a feature you bolt on. It is an architecture decision made at the compute, storage and network layer before the first application is deployed.
Fast Cores, Not Commodity
High-frequency processors allocated to workloads that need them. ERP, SITS and finance applications feel the difference at every login, every report and every batch run.
SSD-First Storage
Primary storage on SSD with tiered archival. Database I/O, application boot times and backup windows all benefit from storage that was designed to be fast.
Dedicated Resource Pools
No noisy neighbours. Customer workloads run in resource pools sized for their needs, not squeezed into whatever is left on a shared hypervisor.
Capacity Planning
Growth reviews, utilisation monitoring and proactive right-sizing. The platform should stay ahead of the application, not chase it.
Sustainability Is an Engineering Decision.
QTC maintains a current Carbon Reduction Plan and makes infrastructure choices that balance performance with energy efficiency. Efficient compute, modern cooling, right-sized capacity and honest reporting rather than greenwashing offsets.
