Cloud computing should enable your business to move faster, scale easily, and operate more securely; without draining budgets or overwhelming IT teams. Yet many organisations that chose Microsoft Azure quickly find the reality is very different. Unpredictable bills, hidden charges, limited functionality, and slow, impersonal support are common frustrations.
At Cerberus Networks, we believe there is a better way. MyCloud Computing has been built to give businesses the tools they need — with predictable costs, powerful features, and personal support. In short: it’s cheaper, better, and less complicated than Azure.
Better: Richer Features, Built for Businesses
Azure is vast, but the essentials often come with strings attached. Want console access to manage a virtual machine? That requires extra services. Need advanced firewall protection or VPN support? Prepare to pay for premium add-ons. Even maintenance in Azure can mean downtime, with VMs reset during updates.
By contrast, MyCloud Computing includes features businesses rely on every day:
- Advanced Fortinet firewall with VPN, deep inspection and application control.
- Complimentary VM console access, on-demand checkpoints, and live VM migrations during maintenance.
- Resilient infrastructure, with redundant power, network, storage, and compute.
And when you need help, you’re not left waiting on scripted responses. Cerberus customers get 24/7 direct access to L2 engineers, with rapid escalation to L3 infrastructure experts — plus a named account manager who understands your environment and priorities.
Predictable: Transparent Costs You Can Trust
One of the biggest complaints about Azure is the unpredictability of costs. Beyond the headline rates, customers are hit with transaction fees, per-GB data out charges, and licensing requirements just to access basic features. The result? Monthly bills that are difficult to predict and even harder to justify.
MyCloud Computing removes the guesswork. Our platform offers:
- Transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden extras.
- No additional charges for data transactions or outbound traffic.
- Simple, predictable models for backup, disaster recovery, and networking.
This clarity allows businesses to budget accurately and avoid unpleasant surprises — turning cloud into a strategic asset rather than a financial risk.
Cheaper: Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Even if you manage Azure carefully, it often ends up more expensive. Licensing add-ons, enterprise storage fees, premium firewall features, ExpressRoute connectivity, and backup services all drive up costs. Disaster recovery is particularly costly in Azure, with unpredictable data transfer charges and complex networking requirements for failover.
With MyCloud Computing, businesses get:
- Low-cost backup and restore, fully integrated.
- Cost-effective disaster recovery, with no data transfer charges and simple network failover.
- Flexible, affordable connectivity, without the heavy price tag of Azure ExpressRoute.
By bundling the essential services into the platform and avoiding unnecessary complexity, MyCloud delivers a lower total cost of ownership without compromising on quality.
Integrated: Cloud, Network and Security as One
What makes MyCloud Computing unique is that it isn’t just a cloud platform, it’s part of the wider Cerberus Networks ecosystem. As a business ISP, Cerberus connects your premises directly and privately to our datacentres using business-grade connectivity such as Ethernet leased lines or FTTP.
This direct integration means your workloads run on a cloud platform that is securely and seamlessly linked to your existing network, without the need for costly add-ons like ExpressRoute.
Security is also built in from the ground up. We partner with Fortinet, a world leader in dedicated security technology, to provide managed security services across the entire platform. The result:
- Simplified architecture with fewer moving parts.
- Stronger end-to-end protection for your business.
- Lower costs compared to piecing together separate vendors and services.
By uniting connectivity, cloud, and security in one integrated solution, MyCloud Computing delivers a platform that not only reduces complexity but also enhances resilience and reduces cost.
