## What Our Clients Say

Measurable outcomes from the organizations we work with

“

We moved off a hyperscaler to escape the egress bills. Predictable CAD pricing and $0 transfer made our costs something we can actually forecast again.

CTO, SaaS Company

No more egress bills

“

Data residency was non-negotiable for our regulators. Knowing our workloads sit under Canadian jurisdiction, in certified facilities, closed the conversation.

Head of Compliance, Financial Services Firm

Canadian data jurisdiction

“

It is the same open-source stack we already trust, but operated for us. Their engineers scoped and cut over the migration, and we kept root access throughout.

Engineering Lead, Mid-Market Company

No lock-in, fully portable
