Hosting Infrastructure

CFTS provides a flexible hosting platform designed to support a wide range of business and research workloads.

Our infrastructure combines dedicated enterprise hardware with virtualised environments, allowing systems to be deployed according to specific operational requirements.

Hosting Locations

CFTS operates across two primary environments:

• United Kingdom -Tier III commercial data centre
• Uganda - CFTS Edge Infrastructure Facility

This enables clients to choose hosting based on:

• performance and latency requirements
• data residency considerations
• operational control

Hybrid deployments can also be implemented where systems operate across both locations.

Platform Design

The hosting platform is built to support both standard and custom workloads, including:

• websites and e-mail systems
• business applications
• internal systems
• research and data-driven environments

Infrastructure is designed to adapt to different requirements rather than forcing workloads into fixed service models.

Core Capabilities

CFTS hosting environments provide:

• dedicated or virtualised compute resources
• scalable storage and memory allocation
• secure, hardened operating environments
• continuous monitoring and alerting

This ensures that systems remain stable, secure, and responsive under varying workloads.

Flexible Deployment Models

Depending on requirements, systems can be deployed as:

• shared hosting environments for standard workloads
• core platform instances for business applications
• fully customised infrastructure for specialised use cases

This allows organisations to start with simple deployments and scale into more advanced environments as needed.

Built for Reliability

Infrastructure is designed with reliability as a core principle, including:

• enterprise-grade hardware platforms
• controlled operating environments
• integrated monitoring systems
• resilient power and network design
• cooling and environmental monitoring

This ensures consistent service delivery across all hosting environments.

Why This Matters

Different workloads have different requirements.

CFTS takes an engineering-led approach to hosting, ensuring that infrastructure is aligned with how systems actually operate, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

That approach includes the supporting layers around the workload: power, cooling, storage, network, backup, monitoring, and support. These are treated as part of the service design, not separate background assumptions.

This results in:

• improved performance
• better reliability
• more efficient use of resources
• infrastructure that can grow with organisational needs
