Product Blocks / Cloud Platforms

Localised cloud your customers can build on.

Cloud Platforms are localised compute, storage, networking and security, run where your customers and your regulators need them. We advise on the model, build the platform, and run it if you want us to.

Your customers buy cloud somewhere. Today it is not from you.

Data residency, latency and cost are pushing workloads back to local infrastructure. Your customers want cloud they can consume on demand, in-region, with connectivity into it that you control. If you sell them space and power, they go elsewhere for the cloud that runs on it.

A localised cloud platform makes you more than a landlord. The same estate that earns rent becomes a product your customers buy by the hour, with the margin and the relationship staying with you.

Localised infrastructure-as-a-service, where it must be.

This block is the cloud platform itself. We scope the platform and the commercials to your scale and budget: own it outright as capex, or consume it managed as opex through a partner such as Zadara, from a lean platform you run yourself up to hyperscaler-grade multi-tenant IaaS.

Compute & storage

On-demand compute and storage in your locations, productised for customers to consume by the hour.

Networking & security

Software-defined networking and security controls inside the platform, so tenants connect, segment and secure what they run.

Tenancy & isolation

Logical multi-tenant isolation as standard, with per-tenant boundaries, quotas and role-based access control, and dedicated or physical isolation available, so customers run side by side to their own compliance requirements.

Operations

Monitoring, capacity and lifecycle management so the platform stays available and the economics hold, whether you run it as a capex asset or buy the capacity as opex.

Data residency

The data plane and the management plane both in your jurisdiction, so the data and the control over it stay in-region. This is the reason to run a localised cloud where a hyperscaler region will not do.

Commercial model

Capex or opex, scoped to your budget. Own the platform outright and run it yourself to keep the cost low, or consume it managed and pay for capacity as you use it, for example through our partner Zadara. We pick the platform and the commercials that fit your customers and your numbers, from lean to hyperscaler-grade.

Full specifications travel in proposals.

A block on its own, or part of a larger platform.

Buy it on its own, or as one layer inside a full transformation.

Advise, build and run. Take all three, or only what you need.

Advisory

We advise. You build.

The platform model, the economics and the target architecture for your team to build.

Execution

We build and deliver.

The compute, storage, tenancy and connectivity, built and integrated into your estate.

Management

We run it.

Operated in production, or handed to your team to run.

Optionality

You own the IP we build together. The source code is yours: no product licence, nothing to renew, nothing phoning home. Run is offered, not required: we operate it for you, or hand it to your team. Your leverage grows as you own and extend the asset, instead of compounding inside a platform you rent. Advise, build and run is a choice, not a dependency.

A cloud you own and run.

Tell us where your customers need cloud. We will map the platform, and what it is worth.
