What is a managed cloud server?
A managed cloud server is one where the cloud provider handles server operations for you, including monitoring, patching, backups, performance tuning and security updates. You focus on your business applications, with no extra operations staff to hire. UD Cloud offers fixed monthly plans, each managed by a local engineering team, with a 99.99% uptime commitment and 24/7 technical support.
Where are UD Cloud's data centres located?
UD Cloud's primary data centres are in Hong Kong, interconnected in a ring network and built to Tier III+ standards, meeting ISO 27001 information-security management and PCI DSS payment-card data-security requirements. Local bandwidth is 100Gb+ direct to HKIX, with premium CN2 HK–China lines and 30Gb+ international links. Overseas nodes and global CDN coverage are also available.
How is UD Cloud different from AWS / Azure / Alibaba Cloud?
Global public clouds are self-service platforms with a higher technical barrier, mostly billed in English and US dollars. UD Cloud is a locally managed model: operated for you by a Hong Kong engineering team, with HKD invoicing, Cantonese support and multi-cloud solutions managed by UD. If you want to use AWS, Azure, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud at the same time, UD's multi-cloud integration unifies your billing and support contact.
Does UD Cloud support Kubernetes?
Yes. OpenCloud is built on OpenStack and can spin up Linux instances instantly to run Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, CI/CD and DevOps workflows. Enterprises that need a managed K8s service can also choose UD's container hosting, managed by the UD engineering team, from cluster design and deployment to monitoring and upgrades.
What is UD Cloud's SLA service level?
Every plan commits to a 99.99% uptime guarantee. If service exceeds the downtime allowance, service credits are provided pro rata. Dedicated servers and colocation also include a 4-hour hardware-replacement SLA. All plans include 24/7 server monitoring, a 24/7 technical support hotline and a 30-day unconditional refund.
How does migrating to UD Cloud from another provider work?
UD engineers carry out a system assessment, draw up a customised migration plan, and execute the cutover and validation in phases. Typical small-to-medium workloads can be completed within a single weekend window. During the transfer period we offer rebates: a refund of unused monthly fees, free domain transfer, 24/7 phone support, and 99.99% uptime coverage.
