ICM Cloud Services

What do we offer?

Complementing and extending our on-premise approach, ICM Cloud Services include flexible and highly cost-effective 'pay as you go' and on-demand delivery of IT. This means you can access and consume the services and resources you depend on via the Internet, as opposed to the traditional on-premise way, using public, private and hybrid cloud approaches. We also offer virtual servers and storage and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) through our mature and reliable Virtual Shared Platform (VSP).

Reducing capital and operational expenditure whilst increasing IT functionality and removing scalability headaches are why so many mid-market organisations have already outsourced full or partial services into our flagship ICM Cloud platform: we are the engine behind the cloud.

• Full Cloud IaaS - all resources are shared in a secure and flexible way, giving you the best price point available
• Hybrid Cloud IaaS - dedicated host servers result in a flexible cloud with guaranteed resource suitable for total data centre outsourcing: we are among a very small group of providers able to offer full IT outsourcing into a true cloud model, backed by all other enterprise services required

What our customers have to say

ICM ensured the right technical specialists were always available when we needed them. This continuing commitment is why Baxi Group and ICM have been partners for so long.
