Core Service
Sovereign Cloud Platform Engineering
In-house capability to architect and operate bespoke cloud platforms on OpenStack and Kubernetes, including tenancy, scheduling and metering. This is the layer Compound Bridge delivers itself, rather than coordinating.
Platform architecture
OpenStack and Kubernetes control planes designed for multi-tenant accelerated compute, with the scheduling and quota model matched to how the client’s workloads actually arrive.
- Control plane design and build
- Tenancy and isolation model
- Scheduling and quota policy
Metering and self-service
Consumption measured per tenant and per workload, with self-service provisioning so that research teams and business units draw capacity without a ticket queue.
- Usage metering and chargeback
- Self-service provisioning portal
- Capacity and utilisation reporting
Fabric and storage
High-performance interconnect and storage architecture sized to keep accelerators supplied with data, because an idle GPU is the most expensive thing in the facility.
- Network fabric design
- Storage architecture and tiering
- Data pipeline integration
Migration
The path from the client’s existing estate onto the platform, designed so that the two run in parallel until the new one is proven.
- Migration design and sequencing
- Parallel running and cutover
- AI operations against a target utilisation range
Track record
Our Chief Technology Officer built and ran a sovereign cloud from concept to commercial platform on OpenStack, growing it beyond seventy clients and forming partnerships with two national telecommunications operators.
