NaviCloud Director is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform that leverages VMWare vCloud Director 5.1, and is designed to provide businesses a flexible and versatile self-service platform well suited for cloud-based production applications. NaviSite provides customer access to VMware APIs and developer community. Customers also have the option of accessing the native vCloud Director user interface or can manage their cloud environment via the NaviSite designed AppCenter portal.

The UK Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) recently reported that by the end of 2015, around 80 per cent of UK organisations will run some kind of hybrid IT environment, combining in-house and cloud delivered technologies. NaviCloud Director lets customers connect it to existing physical or virtual environments using the VMware API connectors, enabling clients to move workloads offsite, create business continuity environments or use NaviSite as dynamic "burst" capacity during seasonal peaks.

"With the two NaviCloud Director cloud nodes, our customers can now spin up cloud instances using their software and tear them down when they're done, without any manual intervention," said Sean McAvan, managing director, NaviSite Europe Ltd. And we can provide effective disaster recovery within UK boundaries, which is important for industries which require data to remain resident in either the UK or European Union. As the NaviCloud Director nodes are both within the UK, NaviSite has the capacity to offer compute resources with minimal latency, which means we can support applications that need near-synchronous replication."
