Charities

In a post GDPR landscape, Charities data centres need to assure maximum security and compliance in their data hosting, but also need to provide the most cost savings. Crown Hosting’s secure data centres are best-in-class when it comes to security, resilience, and both energy and carbon efficiency across the entire UK Public Sector. Our campuses are governed as part of the Cabinet Office framework agreement, meaning that whilst you benefit from state-of-the-art security and flexible contract options, you also benefit from the best possible value for money.

This flexibility, value, and GDPR compliance are just part of the benefit that charity organisations can see from Crown Hosting. More benefits include:

Value for money:
We deliver an average £3 commercial saving* for every £1 spent by our Public Sector customers. Our flexible solutions give immediate cost benefits, with pay-as-you-use contracts giving predictable, stable pricing. Therefore, you can easily pay for what you use whilst having all the benefits of a highly available environment at a lower cost.
Flexibility:
Our pay-as-you-go based platform can be used in conjunction with any vendor or service provider, with connectivity to multiple government and commercial networks already in place. Our flexible contracts also have no lock-in, meaning that you can use our OJEU approved framework and adapt it to your necessities at any given time.
Risk reduction:
Crown Hosting provides significant risk reduction for charity organisations, including 24/7 monitoring of facilities and 99.999% availability on power. We provide a dedicated shared environment for charity organisations large or small, which is fully NCSC assured and in line with CPNI guidance.
Future proof:
Our Connected Campus allows you to connect to any Cloud platform and online service. We already have a lot of fibre infrastructure and diverse routes and suppliers, which you can easily access directly from our data halls. This lowers your operations cost as the infrastructure you need is already in place. Our contracts also allow you to change providers or vendors when required, and to add or decrease space requirements as needed.

Ease of use:
We aim to provide an IT ready platform, which makes your digital transformation journey simpler and smoother. Our dedicated onboarding team with predefined SLAs is available to support customers, as well as a strong 24/7 Service Desk capability. We also provide a 24/7 Smart Hands solution, offering IT trained, SC cleared technicians equipped to perform remote physical management whenever needed.
Cloud appropriate:
Crown Hosting is the perfect framework for your legacy and new private platforms, as well as your sensitive data. Connect to multiple Cloud options and leverage other managed services available on each site.
Sustainability:
Working towards Carbon Net Zero, your choice of data centre has the potential to either contribute to the problem of climate change or form a meaningful part of the solution. By choosing to transition to a Crown Hosting facility, our Customers typically save 75% on electricity usage* and reduce carbon emissions* by 99.9% on relocated services. Everyone wins, including the planet.
