A multi-tenant cloud they can sell capacity on
Everything a private cloud has, plus hard isolation between tenants, metering and a billing feed, so our client can resell what they run.
What it is
Public cloud, in plain terms
Everything a private cloud has, plus hard isolation between tenants, metering and a billing feed, so our client can resell what they run.
Hard tenant isolation
Separate control planes or strict segmentation, depending on the buyer.
Metering and chargeback
Usage captured per tenant and fed into billing.
Self-service catalogue
A published catalogue their customers order from directly.
Compliance evidence
Residency, key custody and audit trail their regulator will accept.
How it works
How public cloud is delivered
- 01Isolation boundary firstWe decide early whether tenants get separate control planes or strict segmentation. It changes everything downstream.
- 02Catalogue as the productYour customers order from a published catalogue. That catalogue is designed, not generated from whatever exists.
- 03Metering at the resourceUsage is captured where it happens, per resource per hour, then reconciled against the invoice you actually send.
- 04Billing feed, not a reportThe output is a feed your finance system consumes, so nobody is exporting spreadsheets each month.
- 05Residency evidence built inWho reached what, and from where, captured as the platform runs rather than assembled before an audit.

Common questions
How is it priced?↓
Fixed price against a defined scope. Ongoing operation is quoted separately as a monthly service.
Do you supply the hardware?↓
We specify it and can procure it, but it stays on your balance sheet.
Can a partner sell this under their own name?↓
Yes. Design and build are delivered white-label where a partner holds the customer.
