Claranet updates its public sector propositions: sovereign cloud and managed SOC

Public sector organisations need cloud they can trust and security that never sleeps. Our updated public sector propositions bring both together, backed by 30 years of experience and a strengthened team following our acquisition of Six Degrees.

Claranet has updated its public sector propositions. They now focus on two things: sovereign cloud that keeps your data, operations, and support in the UK, and a managed security operations centre (SOC) that watches your estate around the clock. Our portfolio is broad, but we've shaped these propositions around the pressures public sector teams tell us they face: tighter budgets, rising threats, and growing scrutiny over where data lives and who can access it.

Sovereign cloud, built for public sector workloads

Sovereignty isn't a checkbox. It means knowing your data stays in the UK, is managed by UK-based specialists, and sits on infrastructure you can audit. Our sovereign cloud gives you that assurance, with the reliability that critical public services depend on and a cost model designed to stay predictable.

A pragmatic route for your VMware estate

Many public sector organisations are reviewing their VMware estates after recent licensing changes. As a VMware Pinnacle partner, we're well placed to help. We'll review your current environment, then help you choose the right path: move to Claranet's sovereign cloud, migrate to another platform that suits you better, or optimise what you already run. Whichever route you take, the goal is the same: a cost-optimised service with high reliability.

A managed SOC that never switches off

Threats to public services don't keep office hours. Our managed SOC gives you 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response from experienced security specialists, so your team can focus on delivering services rather than chasing alerts.

Stronger together with Six Degrees

Our acquisition of Six Degrees has deepened our public sector experience. Combining their expertise with our existing capabilities means we can deliver more value to public sector customers across [central government, local government, and the wider public sector].

Easy to buy through the frameworks you already use

We're available on a range of public sector frameworks, including [list frameworks, e.g. G-Cloud], so you can procure quickly and compliantly.
