Policing & Justice

• Value for money:

  We deliver an average £3 commercial saving* for every £1 spent by our Public Sector customers. We enable our customers to use a pay-as-you-go cost model, letting you enjoy the benefits of our flexible solutions and a highly available environment at a much lower cost. This cost model for our OJEU approved framework is entirely predictable, which allows you to more accurately plan your infrastructure budget.

• Flexibility:

  As well as our pay-as-you-go based contracts, our framework supports any vendor or service provider through our on-site connectivity to multiple government and commercial networks. Our flexible contracts can be terminated whenever convenient, so you’re never locked in.

• Risk reduction:

  You can be assured that your data is secure with our dedicated policing and justice shared environment. We provide full time monitoring of facilities and 99.999% power availability. On top of this, all facilities are in line with CPNI guidance and have full NCSC assurance.

• Future proof:

  Our Connected Campus houses a lot of fibre infrastructure and diverse routes and suppliers, which allows you to connect to any Cloud platform or any other service directly from our facilities. This lowers your IT infrastructure costs as much of the infrastructure that organisations require is already in place. Furthermore, our contracts have no lock in, which means that you can change providers or vendors when required.  These flexible contracts also allow you to add or decrease space requirements as needed.

• Ease of use:

  Our dedicated, SLA predefined onboarding and support teams are on hand to provide an IT ready platform. Our IT trained Smart Hands engineers are available to perform physical tests and operations, which gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your data is secure and that you have ample support, whenever needed.

• Cloud appropriate:

  Crown Hosting is the perfect framework for your both your new and legacy private platforms, and the ideal place to store 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.
