◈ Government

Public money,
public prices.
Spend less on the same machines.

Public bodies have to show that every pound of infrastructure spend was justified. That is easier when prices are published, comparable and lower. Compute publishes every price beside the leading cloud’s own, charges 30% under the leading cloud on machines and managed databases, and bills by the second.

Used by local authorities, agencies and the start-ups and enterprises that build public services, for citizen-facing and internal systems.

What holds true here

Four things you stop arguing about

◆

Prices anyone can check

Every price published with the leading cloud’s own price beside it. Value for money becomes something you can show, not argue.

◇

Residency as configuration

Where data lives is configured and held to across the platform, not a preference that drifts.

◈

Every access recorded

Who changed what, who looked at what, and when, retained and answerable without a forensic exercise.

○

Separation by arrangement

Services, environments and data kept apart because of how they are configured, not because everyone remembered.

The shift

Value for money you can demonstrate

Public bodies are asked to justify cloud spend against prices that are hard to compare and commitments that are hard to exit. Published prices and no minimum terms change what can be shown.

The usual arrangement
  • ✕Multi-year commitments signed against uncertain demand
  • ✕Prices that are hard to compare like for like
  • ✕Access questions answered by reading logs by hand
  • ✕Services running at full size outside office hours
  • ✕Several bills across departments and suppliers
What replaces it
  • ✓No commitment or minimum term to sign
  • ✓Prices published beside the leading cloud’s own
  • ✓Access questions answered as lookups
  • ✓Capacity billed by the second it runs
  • ✓One bill, itemised by service and department
What you can count on

Government, specifically

The value-for-money case, written for you

Every procurement asks whether the price is fair. With Compute the answer is on the page: our price, the leading cloud’s published price for the same thing, and the difference. There is no minimum term, so a pilot can be run and judged on its own merits before anything larger is committed.

Citizen services from git

Public-facing services deployed on Panel, built from repositories on CodeGraph with review and CI.

Casework on CosmoBase

Case and permit records in managed databases with a full history of change and access.

Analysis on demand

Policy modelling on CPU and GPU instances started for the analysis and stopped after.

Ask us about attestations

Residency, access records and separation are configured properties. For a specific accreditation, ask and we will answer plainly.

Questions we are actually asked

Answers without the hedging

Do you hold the accreditations we require?+

Ask us about the specific attestation your body needs and we will tell you plainly whether we hold it today. Residency, access records and separation are configured properties of the platform, and we will show you how they are set.

Where is our data held?+

Where data lives is something you configure and we hold to, across every part of the platform.

Can we run a pilot first?+

Yes. There is no minimum term or commitment, so a single service can be moved and judged before anything else.

How do we show value for money?+

Every price is published with the leading cloud’s own price for the same thing beside it, at /compare.

Customer Acquisition

Host the landing pages, attribution pipelines and onboarding flows that bring customers in, and spend less on the infrastructure than you would on the leading cloud.

Marketing

Run campaign sites, personalisation, content pipelines and marketing data on one platform that costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines and models.

Lead Generation

Run the forms, enrichment jobs, scoring models and routing that turn interest into leads, for less than the same infrastructure costs on the leading cloud.

Sales

Run CRMs, sales data, call analysis and AI assistants on one platform, priced under the leading cloud for the same machines, databases and models.

Creator Economy

Host creator platforms, media processing, storefronts and AI tools on infrastructure that bills by the second and costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines.

Start where it matters most

Begin with one workload. Keep what you have running. Decide whether to continue once you have seen it carry something real.

No migration required to begin. Nothing to tear down if you stop.
