MANAGED PAAS SERVICES

Ensure your applications perform at scale with our fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS).

A trusted PaaS services provider

Platform as a service is a full development and deployment environment in the cloud. It provides you with the resources to build, test and run everything from simple apps to complex, cloud-enhanced enterprise solutions.

With our managed PaaS, you sidestep the cost and complexity of managing the underlying platform infrastructure. We take full responsibility for maintaining the software licences, orchestrators and development tools. That means your team is free to focus on what matters most – your applications and services.

How we’ve helped other customers with managed PaaS

Redcentric is giving us a hugely flexible and functional platform which we can use as a springboard to optimise IT delivery and care provision.

PaaS FAQs

What are the key advantages of using managed PaaS services?

Partnering with a managed PaaS provider allows you to accelerate your application deployment without the complexity and cost of managing the underlying platform. The primary advantages are:

Reduced IT overhead: Our cloud platform as a service allows us to proactively manage all the infrastructure and operating systems, including all 24/7 monitoring, patching and backups. This frees your skilled IT team from routine tasks to focus on innovation.
Accelerated development: Your team gets a ready-to-use, secure platform, bypassing the weeks or months typically needed for internal infrastructure setup and configuration.
Predictable costs: You move from a large, unpredictable expenditure model for hardware to a clear, monthly operational cost for a complete PaaS solution.
Enhanced security: Your platform is hosted in our secure, UK-sovereign data centres and managed 24/7 by our certified experts, helping you meet your compliance and security goals.

SaaS or PaaS? Which solution is right for my business?

The choice depends on your need for control and customisation.

SaaS (Software as a service): A ready-made application you subscribe to. It’s best for standard business functions where you don’t need to build or customise the core application.
PaaS (Platform as a service): A platform for you to build and run your own custom applications. It’s the best solution when your business has a unique requirement or application, but you want to outsource the management of the underlying servers and databases.

What types of applications are best suited for PaaS deployment?

Our managed cloud platform as a service is highly versatile but is especially powerful for:

Critical line-of-business applications: This includes finance systems, logistics applications, member portals or any custom-built application that is essential to your operations.
Database-driven applications: Any application that relies on a database, such as Managed SQL, is a perfect fit. We take on the full management, patching and optimisation of the database, which is often a major pain point for IT teams.
Modernising legacy applications: PaaS is an ideal way to move your existing on-premise applications to a modern, secure and resilient cloud platform without the high cost and risk of a complete ‘cloud-native’ rewrite.

How do I migrate my application and get started?

We follow a structured, consultative process designed to minimise risk and ensure a seamless transition.

We work with your team to deeply understand your application, its data and its dependencies, as well as your specific goals.
Our solution architects will design a tailored PaaS environment that is perfectly sized and secured for your application’s needs.
We create a clear, phased migration plan with you, focusing on minimising downtime and risk to your business operations.
We partner with your team to manage the migration and onboarding, ensuring your application is fully operational and optimised on its new platform.
