With 25+ years of expertise in designing, deploying, and managing mission-critical IT environments for hundreds of organizations worldwide, from Fortune 500 enterprises to U.S. government agencies, UnitedLayer has established itself as a leader in private and hybrid cloud solutions and managed data center hosting services. The company’s expertise has helped customers reduce costs, increase agility, and accelerate innovation, all while retaining the security and control of a private cloud environment.
Powered by proprietary, software-defined United Private Cloud®, UnitedLayer delivers 100+ IaaS from Tier 3+ data centers in 30+ private cloud regions and 175+ edge locations across five continents, empowering enterprises to run modern workloads, from AI and machine learning to containerized applications, with unmatched availability, sovereignty, compliance, and performance.
The tagline, “Experience the World’s Best Private Cloud,” reflects this combination of technical depth, resilient architecture, analyst recognition, and customer success stories. Let us dive into each of these pillars to explore UnitedLayer’s leadership in the private cloud arena.
Founded in 2001, UnitedLayer® has continuously advanced United Private Cloud® to support the full spectrum of enterprise workloads ranging from traditional VM-based applications to complex AI and containerized deployments. Today, it powers enterprises across industries, including technology, financial services, government, telecommunications, oil and gas, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and media & entertainment.
This rapid innovation is enabled by a resilient infrastructure foundation that stacks advanced virtualization, high‑performance storage, software‑defined networking, and industry‑leading high availability.
Foundational Infrastructure Layer
Virtualization and containerization deliver workload portability and scalability, managed by hypervisors such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper‑V, and KVM, alongside Kubernetes orchestration for cloud‑native deployments.
The storage layer provides 100K+ IOPS with tiered block, file, and object storage to meet diverse workload needs, supported by replication, snapshots, erasure coding, and immutable backups, for durability and compliance. Meanwhile, network virtualization enables secure segmentation and flexible architectures using SDN, VLANs, VXLANs, and micro‑segmentation, enhanced by SD‑WAN, NFV, and enterprise‑grade security.
Finally, with a resilient N+M cluster architecture, United Private Cloud guarantees 99.999% high availability of workload. Together these stacked layers form the backbone of the world’s best private cloud.
Advanced Capabilities
Beyond the core infrastructure, United Private Cloud® strengthens enterprise operations with advanced capabilities that focus on resilience, compliance, and sovereignty.
On the resilience front, immutable backups protect data against ransomware attacks, ensuring a trusted last line of defense. Flexible disaster recovery strategies, including Active‑Active, Active‑Passive, Active‑Replicated, Multi‑AZ, and Multi‑Region, give enterprises the freedom to design recovery plans aligned with unique business priorities and compliance needs.
Performance commitments back these strategies. UnitedLayer delivers <1-min RPO and <15‑min RTO, minimizing data loss and ensuring rapid restoration. Adding intelligence to the mix, AI‑powered anomaly detection continuously scans for “abnormal”, achieving industry‑leading <3-min MTTD and <10-min MTTR. By combining high availability with intelligent recovery, United Private Cloud extends into what can truly be called a self‑healing, resilient infrastructure.
Resilience, however, is only one side of the story. For enterprises in regulated industries, security, compliance, and sovereignty are just as critical. United Private Cloud® addresses these requirements with multi‑layered security controls that include encryption at rest and in transit, multi‑factor authentication, isolated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments, and granular Role‑Based Access Control (RBAC).
Compliance is embedded from the ground up, covering 50+ global regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP. And through sovereign cloud capabilities and tier 3+ data centers across five continents, enterprises can enforce strict data residency and governance policies, ensuring that sensitive information remains within its required jurisdiction.
Built-in Intelligence
What truly sets United Private Cloud® apart is how it embeds intelligence and automation. Enterprises today don’t just need infrastructure that runs workloads; they need infrastructure that can manage, optimize, and even predict operational needs across complex environments. This is where UnityOne.AI, UnitedLayer’s AI‑powered cloud management layer, takes center stage.
With unified cloud operations management, UnityOne.AI delivers a single pane of control across private, hybrid, and multicloud ecosystems. Enterprises can orchestrate workloads, enforce policies, and monitor performance seamlessly across environments, helping reduce tool sprawl, operational silos and complexity. The platform offers 800+ integrations with leading infrastructure management tools and APIs, ensuring interoperability with diverse environments.
Layered on top of this is AI‑powered automation. UnityOne.AI uses predictive analytics and machine learning to detect anomalies, identify inefficiencies, and proactively remediate issues before they escalate. This intelligent feedback loop not only accelerates MTTD and MTTR, but also continuously optimizes cost, performance, and compliance across environments. For enterprises managing modern workloads, this means a self‑driving cloud experience—one that adapts in real time to meet changing business demands.
By combining governance, Agentic AI-powered automation, and Gen AI-driven intelligence, UnityOne.AI transforms United Private Cloud® into an autonomous cloud operations platform, engineered to give enterprises complete control with minimal operational overhead.
Together, these capabilities realize the engineering vision behind “Experience the World’s Best Private Cloud.” They reflect more than two decades of expertise in cloud architecture, platform engineering, and customer-centric innovation.
