◈ Compute for midsize businesses

Big-cloud capability.
Without the big-cloud
bill or the bureaucracy.

Midsize companies pay hyperscaler prices for hyperscaler complexity and rarely use either. Compute gives you the machines, databases, hosting and AI your teams need, for less than the leading cloud charges, on one bill a finance team can read.

No minimum spend, no contract, and nothing to tear down if you stop.

Why midsize businesses choose Compute

Built for how you buy

◆

Less to manage

Databases, hosting, storage and source control as products you use, not services you assemble and babysit.

◇

Less to pay

Our machines and managed databases are priced under the leading cloud’s published rates, so the saving does not depend on how well you negotiate.

◈

Predictable

Every price is published, with the leading cloud’s beside it. A month’s bill can be estimated before the month begins.

○

24/7 support that fits the budget

Business support is a flat monthly price, not a percentage of your spend.

How it works

Three steps, no migration project

  1. 1

    Start with the free allowance

    Two databases, object storage and repositories are included at no charge.

  2. 2

    Add a card when you need more

    Usage beyond the allowance is billed monthly for what was used.

  3. 3

    Move the expensive workloads

    Machines and databases first — that is where the difference from the leading cloud is largest.

Questions we are asked

Answers, plainly

Do we need a contract?+

No. Billing is monthly for what you use; support plans are monthly and can be cancelled at any time.

How hard is it to move from the leading cloud?+

Applications move as they are: machines are machines, databases are databases. Start with one workload and keep everything else running.

What if we outgrow the free allowance?+

Add a payment method and keep going; usage beyond the allowance is billed at the published rates.

Is there someone to call?+

Business support is 24/7 by email and chat, with a one-hour response when production is down.

Put one workload on Compute this month

Run it beside what you have, and compare the invoices line by line. Move the next one when the numbers say so.

No contract, no minimum spend, nothing to tear down if you stop.
