BT Private Compute
An agile foundation for critical
IT initiatives
What is BT Private Compute?
BT Private Compute is a dedicated private cloud service, comprised of compute, storage and network hardware, software, security and management. Your enterprise-class virtual architecture is delivered via one of our fully-resilient data centres here in Ireland, providing you with an agile, scalable foundation for any IT initiative.
Now you can bring together your legacy infrastructure and applications, ensure your ecommerce site performs at all times, test new functionality, roll out innovative applications and services, and provide secure access to critical systems and data for your increasingly mobile workforce.
How does BT Private Compute work?
Your bespoke private cloud will be designed by us – based on modular components for lower TCO – owned by you or by us, and managed either by your team or ours, depending on your needs and preferences.
The service provides a stable, consistent computing environment that simplifies your infrastructure on a single, consolidated platform.

Lower costs
Reduce TCO by simplifying your IT estate and reducing management effort, and gain control over your IT spend with transparent, flat-fee pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions – Answered
How can BT Private Compute lower my costs?
BT Private Compute simplifies your IT infrastructure, helping to reduce TCO, while giving you the benefit of our vast economies of scale and predictable expenditure for easier budgeting.
Why would I choose BT Private Compute over a public cloud offering?
The BT Private Compute service is provided on dedicated infrastructure, giving you many of the benefits of the public cloud but with stability, performance and security of an environment that’s all yours. And you know exactly where your (or your customers’) data resides.
Why would I choose BT Private Compute over building my own on-premise cloud?
Some organisations are replicating the operational model of web-scale cloud services within their own firewall. However, building a private cloud is not for the faint-hearted: it requires specialist skills, and doesn’t resolve the challenges of handling technology change, or overcoming lengthy infrastructure provisioning cycles. With BT Private Compute, our experts design and deliver your private cloud for you, giving you the speed and economies of scale of modular architecture, so you can migrate to a cloud model at a pace to suit your business. You can also choose the option of having our experts manage your private cloud on your behalf.
How will BT Private Compute affect my company’s IT function?
A cloud model of consumption can enable your IT team to evolve from technology gatekeeper to central commander. You can focus on monitoring IT usage in order to understand the needs of the business and determine, as a broker of in-house and third party services, how you can meet those needs most effectively. And if you opt for us to manage your private cloud for you, you can redirect your efforts towards innovation to drive your business forward.
Is BT Private Compute suitable for mission-critical systems and sensitive data?
As a dedicated platform, the BT Private Compute solution is all yours, whether on your premises or in a fully-resilient BT data centre. And because it’s an enterprise class service, built to internationally recognised standards for information security, you can run all your IT on it, with the confidence that your assets and data are in safe hands.
