Private cloud
A cluster of your own: several physical nodes, shared storage, and the ability to create and destroy virtual machines inside it without asking anyone. The difference from public cloud is that the capacity is yours, the cost is flat, and you know exactly where it is.
This suits organisations with a compliance boundary to defend, a predictable workload that is expensive to rent by the hour, or a development team that wants to self-serve without a credit card.
What you get
Your capacity, not a share of ours
Self-service inside the boundary
High availability
Flat, predictable cost

Questions
- Can it live in our own building?
Yes. We will design it, supply the hardware, install it on your premises and manage it remotely. This is common where data is not permitted to leave the site.
- What happens if we want to take it in house?
The platform is open source and the cluster is yours. We hand over documentation and credentials, and if you want, we train your team on it.
Tell us what you are trying to run.
Describe the workload and we will tell you what it needs, what it costs, and whether we are the right people for it.
