FAQ

1
How do I get an accurate price for my environment?
Please submit a form or email us with more details about your environment and a contact number so we can discuss with you directly. You won’t be called by a sales person, it will just be to verify the technical environment and commercial constraints.
2
What connectivity is supported for the LPARs?
By default dynamic VPN connectivity is included in the service for usage. We also offer:
1. Site-to-site VPN connectivity
2. Dedicated Layer2 connectivity to our sites
3. Secure public access if required
3
Are the LPARs protected by high-availability?
We protect our environment with intrinsic PowerVM high-availability functionality, which protects your LPARs from prolonged downtime during physical host failure (more than 30 minutes). Also options are provided for configuration and support of PowerHA/HACMP implementations.
4
How is the pricing structured?
We can offer a price per LPAR which gives flexibility up and down over time as workloads are increased or decommissioned. Alternatively we can provide a fixed monthly charge. There are no hidden costs with our service, for example for upload/download of data and we do not charge annual price increases in committed term agreements.
5
What kind of storage tiers are there?
We work with two main storage tiers - normal and performance. First is based on SAS or low-end SSD disks, second is based on high-performance SSD drives.
6
What AIX Versions are supported?
We support starting from AIX 5.1 (within WPARs) to latest AIX 7.2. Some features may be limited to older versions of AIX operating systems, which is purely a limitation of the AIX itself.
7
How can we do migration?
We can set up the environment and transfer to you for migration or you can take an offer from us for a complete migration of your service to L3C Cloud. Different approaches can be used in the latter option including storage/servers on-site, backup replication, storage replication, etc.
8
Can we test?
Yes, we offer short-term PoC free of charge for a subset of your environment. Also, you can start small with a test environment in order to evaluate how a cloud service works within your organisation and integrates with your overall operation.
9
Can there be a DR in a second data center?
Yes, we have secondary data centers either in the UK or EU depending on your preference. Disaster Recovery can be implemented with a number of approaches and RPO and RTO are to fully cover your specific needs.
10
What is the security?
L3C is certified under the following standards: ISO and Cyber Security
Please visit L3C Certification page for more information.
Not only that we follow all security guidelines but we can rather easily fit into yours as well.
11
What type of environments do you support?
We support some of the most business critical environments in the UK with the strictest SLAs as well as providing test/dev platforms across multiple versions of OS and HW for Software companies to maintain platforms for their end clients.
12
What is the minimum contract length?
We provide short term monthly contracts as well as annual and longer term agreements for our clients who are looking for additional peace of mind and commercial advantage.
13
Where are your data centres?
Our UK data centres are located inside and outside the M25. The exact location will be provided on request. We can offer EU data centres on request.
