For Manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing
Many smart manufacturing operations demand on-site servers as conventional cloud does not offer the latency or availability / resiliency needed. By providing industrially ruggedised microedge cloud (microscaler), our services provide the look and feel like on-premises capability, with all the flexibility advantages of cloud, offering:
- High availability and geo-redundancy N+4 and beyond
- Low latency
- OT monitoring
- OT cyber eco-system
For Financial
Financial Services
Many financial organisations have a hybrid cloud and on-premise infrastructure, while others rely on synchronous replication data centres based close to a small number of metropolitan areas. Our “near prem” capability allows you to take one step further to a completely cloud based environment with a resilient meshed architecture.
For Healthcare
Healthcare
AI allows the liberation of skilled clinician and medical teams by reducing admin and allowing them to focus on their patients. Accessing AI-ready and GPU resource within the UK, while maintaining security and integrity of patient data, is paramount in accelerating the benefits that current pilot programs have demonstrated. Stonesthro has partnered with Neurosyn to deliver distributed AI capability. This delivers:
- Multi-tenanted dedicated GPUs
- Burst GPU & CPU capability to avoid expensive on-premise capital commitments
- Short term R&D capability for pilot projects
- Batch processing to take advantage of spare resources at low demand periods
For Entertainment
Media and Entertainment
Getting content to users at speed is increasingly more important to retain users and increase revenue. Truly embracing 5G will also bring new traffic demands to the UK Internet backbone. Stonesthro can provide:
- Micro edge highly distributed CDN nodes
- Multicast distribution
- Native access to 5G and fibre networks
- Multi-tenanted GPU resources for rendering
For Justice
Justice
The Police and Justice sectors have always enjoyed a mix of regional and national capabilities and the freedom to choose, yet finding one cloud solution that is sovereign, hosted in every region with the required interworking capability has been difficult, if not impossible. Microedge cloud allows a truly local capability, with near line of site deployment combined with the flexibility to deploy resources according to national and seasonal demands, leveraging native 5G and Internet access.
For Government
Government
Sovereign cloud and cross-domain solutions are seeing increasing demand. The Public Sector aims to reduce costs and adopt AI while preserving sovereign security.
By partnering with Stonesthro – a UK-based SME cloud provider with access to more than 15,800 site estates, the Government and its Public Sector suppliers can benefit from:
- UK owned and operated hosting
- On shore sovereign GPU and AI capability
- Compliance with the new Procurement Act, by delivering against ESG targets and local deployment agendas
- Evenly distributed cloud resources across the nation assists devolved nations and regional mayors in delivering the localisation of IT services
