In a business world where uptime, security, and agility can determine the difference between growth and stagnation, the move to cloud hosting is no longer optional—it’s mission‑critical. But not all cloud environments are created equal. Organizations need more than generic hosting; they need a partner that understands their infrastructure, protects their data, and adapts with them as technology evolves.
BDK Inc. stands out as that partner.

Public, Private & Hybrid Cloud Hosting with BDK
BDK offers three primary cloud hosting models, each tailored to specific business needs.
Private Cloud Hosting
For organizations seeking maximum control, security, and customization, BDK’s private cloud environment is the premier choice.
Features
- Dedicated IBM i, Linux, and Windows server hosting
- Rack space in Tier 3/4 data centers
- Maximum isolation and security
- Tailored architecture working closely with customer IT teams
BDK also invests heavily in private cloud infrastructure, including state‑of‑the‑art IBM Power servers and ultra-fast SAN storage solutions exceeding traditional SSD speeds.
Public Cloud Hosting
BDK supports organizations looking to leverage leading public cloud services such as Azure and AWS, while simplifying deployment and ongoing maintenance.
Benefits
- Cost-effective scalability
- Rapid provisioning
- Seamless hosting of Office 365, websites, and web apps
- Partitioning options in BDK’s own data centers
Hybrid Cloud Hosting
Hybrid cloud systems blend the best of public and private hosting — a perfect solution for businesses balancing performance, security, and budget.
Ideal Use Cases
- Mission-critical systems (ERP, finance) hosted privately
- Variable or customer-facing workloads hosted publicly
- Integrated federation between environments
This approach ensures cost optimization, application-specific flexibility, and high availability, regardless of workload type.
IBM Power Systems Hosting: A BDK Specialty
BDK is widely recognized for its IBM Power Systems expertise, supporting IBM i environments both on-premise and in the cloud.
Why IBM i Hosting with BDK Stands Out
- 40+ years of IBM Power experience supporting IBM i (formerly AS/400) environments.
- A fortress against cyber threats: IBM i’s architecture offers unmatched resilience to ransomware and other attacks.
- Supports ERP, distribution, financial applications, and high‑availability requirements.
- Lower total cost of ownership thanks to fully integrated OS components.
- Integration with IBM Storage FlashSystem for ultra-fast performance and secure cloud readiness. [bdkinc.com]
