Compute you don't have to babysit.
You don't want a rack. You want the workload to finish, the bill to be predictable, and someone accountable when it isn't. CORTEX runs the hardware and the operations behind it — shared for teams getting started, single-tenant for everyone who can't share a machine.
Think law firm, not hosting company.
A hyperscaler rents you a slice and leaves the rest to you. A colo hands you a cage and a power bill. Neither one is accountable for whether your infrastructure actually works on a Tuesday. We bill the way a firm bills: usage plus a monthly retainer that buys you an operations team.
You keep the workload
Submit batch jobs against a scheduler. No cluster to stand up, no Kubernetes to learn, no on-call rotation to staff.
We keep the hardware
The machines are ours — provisioned, cooled, patched, monitored, and replaced by us. No capex on your balance sheet.
The retainer buys accountability
Monitoring, security patching, capacity planning, and an audit trail your compliance team can actually read.
Why compute is getting harder, not easier.
The constraint on AI infrastructure stopped being chips a while ago. It's water, power, neighbors, and jurisdiction. Every one of these shows up on your invoice eventually.
Water
Evaporative cooling consumes potable water in regions already rationing it. Siting decisions are now political.

Interconnect queues run years long. Capacity you were promised in Q1 is capacity you get in year three.

Chillers run at a constant low frequency. Communities notice, and moratoriums follow.

Regulated data has a jurisdiction and a tenancy requirement. "Logically isolated" is not always an answer.

No hidden egress. No surprise line items. You know the number before you sign.
Small Batch

Sovereign Compute
Regulated, contractual, and single-tenant workloads
Usage-based compute plus a monthly operations retainer
- Single-tenant hardware — you are the only tenant
- White-glove deployment and ongoing operations
- Audit logging built for compliance review
- Contractual uptime commitments
- Works alongside hardware you already own
Sovereign compute, in plain terms.
Sovereign means sole tenancy: your workloads run on machines nothing else touches, for a defined term, under a contract that says so. It costs more than the shared pool, and for some workloads it's the only option that clears legal. We can also operate hardware you already own — the retainer covers the running of it either way.
What the retainer covers
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response
- Security patching and firmware currency
- Audit logs and evidence for compliance review
- Contractual uptime commitment
- Thermal, power, and capacity management
- Quarterly review with a named engineer
Who tends to need it
- Government and defense contractors
- Financial institutions and fintech
- Pharmaceutical and biotech research
- Healthcare and clinical data
- Export-controlled work
- M&A and litigation support
