Cloud compute and storage
Virtual servers, Kubernetes, storage and managed databases without owning hardware.
Vendors
Cloud and data center space, matched to the workload
Not every workload belongs in the same place. Some run best in a public cloud, some close to your users at the edge, and some on your own hardware in a secure data center. We help you decide where each one should live, then source the provider and negotiate the contract.

Akamai
Authorized partner
A global cloud and edge platform for delivering and protecting websites and apps.
What it does: Akamai Cloud, built on the Linode platform Akamai acquired in 2022, offers compute, GPU, Kubernetes, storage and managed databases. Akamai also runs a global content delivery and edge security network.
Best fit
Apps that serve users across many regions, and teams that want an alternative to relying on one large cloud.
Look elsewhere if
You need to keep your own servers on-site or in a rack you control. Ask about colocation.
