Ænix builds and runs cloud platforms on hardware you control — for organisations that need real cloud infrastructure without a hyperscaler underneath it. People arrive here for one of a handful of reasons: a regulator (DORA, NIS2), a sovereignty requirement, an AI workload that cannot leave the building, a cloud bill that stopped making sense, a VMware renewal, a continuity obligation, or developers waiting weeks for an environment. Pick the one that matches; the page gives you the architecture, the Ænix platform it maps to and what an engagement looks like.

Regulatory triggers
- DORA compliance — cloud architecture mapped to DORA ICT risk management (Arts. 5-16), incident reporting (Arts. 17-23, major incidents under Art. 19), third-party risk (Arts. 28-30, concentration risk at Art. 29) and resilience testing (Arts. 24-27).

- NIS2 compliance — risk-management measures (Art. 21) and 24h/72h/one-month incident reporting (Art. 23) for essential and important entities. Pairs with: Private Cloud Platform. Free NIS2 checklist.
- Data sovereignty — customer-controlled hardware, documented key custody and data residency for every data class. Pairs with: Private Cloud Platform or Public Cloud Platform.
- Disaster recovery — cross-DC synchronous replication, backups outside the protected cluster, RTO/RPO you can evidence in a drill. Pairs with: Private Cloud Platform.
AI / GPU triggers
- Sovereign AI — GPU infrastructure for AI workloads on customer-controlled hardware. Pairs with: AI Platform. Free Sovereign AI Decision Guide.
- Private LLM — open-weight models, RAG and fine-tuning on your own GPUs, weights and logs on your side of the boundary. Pairs with: AI Platform.
- GPU as a service — turn a fleet of GPU servers into a cloud you can sell: tenants, isolation between customers, self-service ordering and per-tenant usage data for your billing. Pairs with: Public Cloud Platform plus AI Platform.
- GPU cloud bursting — own the baseline, burst peaks into public or sovereign clouds under one Cluster API. Pairs with: AI Platform plus Public Cloud Platform.
Cost / consolidation triggers
- Cloud repatriation — move workloads off AWS / Azure / GCP onto sovereign or on-prem infrastructure. Pairs with: Private Cloud Platform, or Public Cloud Platform if you resell the capacity. Free TCO Worksheet.
- Cloud cost optimization — find where public-cloud spend leaks, then decide what to fix in-cloud and what to move. Pairs with: Public Cloud Platform or Private Cloud Platform.
- Hybrid cloud platform — one platform spanning on-prem, public cloud and edge. Pairs with: Private Cloud Platform or Public Cloud Platform.
Engineering triggers
- Selling and billing managed services — for hosting providers: a catalogue of managed databases, Kubernetes, S3, VMs and GPU, per-minute usage billing through Ænix Billing and WHMCS, tenant suspension. Pairs with: Public Cloud Platform.
- Developer self-service — golden paths that provision environments, databases and services without tickets. Pairs with: the developer self-service layer of Private Cloud Platform. Free Platform Engineering Maturity Assessment.
