Infrastructure
Sovereign Compute
Access
Cloud computing power that runs entirely in Canada, managed by Canadians. No data leaves the country, no compliance surprises, no scrambling to hire a DevOps team.
You get production-grade infrastructure with Canadian data residency, regulatory compliance, and 24/7 support built in from day one.
Why Building It Yourself Is Harder Than It Looks
Running your own cloud infrastructure in Canada means managing servers, security, compliance, and a team to keep it all running. Most organizations underestimate what that actually takes.
DIY Cloud
Build and manage it yourself
SimpleDirect Managed
We handle everything
Hidden costs — engineers, on-call rotations, security audits, and compliance reviews add up fast
Transparent, usage-based pricing with everything included. No surprise invoices
PHIPA, OSFI, Protected B — each framework adds months of documentation and ongoing audit burden
Compliance built into infrastructure from day one. We handle the audits
Senior DevOps engineers in Canada start at $150K+/yr. Finding one who understands compliance? Good luck
Our team of Canadian infrastructure specialists is already on it. No hiring required
3-6 months from procurement to production before you serve a single request
