Platform Overview
Enterprise Hosting Platform
Infrastructure designed for critical workloads requiring dedicated resources, comprehensive observability, and operational discipline.
Request Architecture CallArchitecture Philosophy
The Zartec Host platform is built on principles of isolation, observability, and automation. Every component is designed with failure scenarios in mind, operated with infrastructure-as-code patterns, and monitored with comprehensive telemetry.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all hosting. Our platform provides building blocks that are composed into architectures tailored to your specific workload characteristics, security requirements, and operational constraints.
Platform Architecture Layers

- •Dashboard and query interfaces
Security
Defence-in-depth security architecture with access controls, encryption, and audit logging.
- •Identity and access management
- •Secrets management posture
- •Encryption in transit and at rest
- •Security audit logging
- •Vulnerability management process
Resilience
High availability architecture with disaster recovery, backup strategies, and failover patterns.

- •Automated backup and recovery
- •Tested failover procedures
- •Business continuity planning
- •RTO/RPO-aligned architecture
Regions & Availability
Zartec Host operates UK-based infrastructure with data residency options suitable for organisations with regulatory or data sovereignty requirements. Specific facility locations and regional availability are discussed during the architecture design phase.
UK Infrastructure
Primary infrastructure located in UK data centres with carrier diversity, power redundancy, and physical security controls.
Data Residency
Data residency options to meet GDPR requirements and data localisation preferences for regulated industries.
Availability Architecture
Multi-zone availability patterns designed to your RTO/RPO requirements and failure tolerance needs.
Network Connectivity
High-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity with carrier diversity and private network extension options.
Control Plane Philosophy
Infrastructure changes follow GitOps patterns with infrastructure as code, peer review, automated testing, and progressive rollout. Configuration is declarative, version-controlled, and auditable.
Infrastructure as Code
All infrastructure defined as code using Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent tooling. Configuration stored in version control with full audit history. Changes deployed through automated pipelines with testing and validation gates.
Policy as Code
Security policies, compliance requirements, and operational guardrails enforced through policy-as-code frameworks. Violations detected before deployment, not after.
Drift Detection
Continuous detection of configuration drift between desired state and actual state. Automated remediation for approved changes, alerting for unexpected drift.
