KASTERVO Compute Instance (KCI)

Virtual servers inside your KVPC, billed per GB of RAM, per CPU core and per GB of high-availability flash storage.

Benefits of KCI

A Fixed Price per Unit

Every GB of RAM, CPU core and GB of storage has a fixed monthly price that doesn't depend on usage. A busy month costs the same as a quiet one.

Compliant Infrastructure

Instances run in the same Digital Realty Tier 3 certified data center as your KVPC, under the same PCI-DSS compliance and EU data residency.

No Hardware to Maintain

We operate the physical servers, the storage and the cluster. You decide what runs on each instance and who can access it.

How KCI Works

Start with a KVPC, then add compute instances to it. Each instance gets the RAM, CPU cores and storage its workload needs and sits on the VLANs you assign it to. Several instances can share one KVPC and its edge firewall.

Use Cases for KCI

ERP & CRM Systems

Run your ERP or CRM server on its own instance, isolated inside your KVPC and reachable from your office over a site-to-site VPN. The application and its licenses stay under your control.

Web Applications & Databases

Put the web front end and the database on separate instances and separate VLANs, with firewall rules deciding what passes between them.

Development & Testing Environments

Create instances for test environments alongside production, on their own VLAN, and remove them when the work is done.

Features

Sized per Instance

Set the RAM, CPU cores and storage of each instance separately, so a file server and a database server don't have to share one size.
High-Availability Flash Storage

Instance storage is high-availability flash, priced per GB and separately from RAM and CPU. A storage-heavy server doesn't make you pay for cores it won't use.
Inside Your KVPC

Traffic from the internet or your office reaches an instance only through your KVPC's edge firewall and the rules you write on it.
High Availability

The cluster behind your instances has multiple nodes, so an instance isn't bound to a single physical server.
Three Plan Lengths

Choose a 3-year plan with a rate that doesn't change for the whole term, a 1-year plan, or pay-as-you-go. The longer the plan, the lower the rate.
