Krystal

Cloud compute
built for speed and control

Krystal Cloud compute gives you high-performance virtual machines and GPUs with per-second billing and no lock-in. Spin up a cloud computing instance in under 60 seconds with a compute cloud service that grows with you.

Get started

Choose your cloud computing instance

Four compute products, each suited to different workloads. Pick the instance type that fits your project and deploy in seconds.

Virtual Machines

General-purpose VMs with a fully redundant storage architecture. A solid starting point for most workloads.

Explore virtual machines

CPU optimised

VMs built for CPU-heavy applications, with dedicated cores offering up to 96 vCPUs. Suited to data processing, batch jobs, CI/CD pipelines and high-traffic APIs.

View CPU optimised plans

Memory optimised

VMs with up to 960GB of RAM for workloads that depend on large in-memory datasets. Built for real-time data processing, caching layers and database engines.

Expore memory optimised plans

GPUs

Nvidia T4 and L4 GPUs available on any size VM. Run ML training, inference workloads, image generation or video rendering without managing your own hardware.

What you can build with our compute cloud service

Krystal Cloud compute gives you the resources and flexibility to build on your terms. From running a single app to managing infrastructure for hundreds of clients.

Web apps and SaaS platforms

Host production web applications, APIs and SaaS products on VMs you control. Each VM includes 1TB of external transfer, and transfer is pooled across your organisation.

Dev, staging and CI/CD

Spin up disposable environments in seconds for development, testing and continuous integration. Per-second billing means you only pay while instances are running.

Data processing and analytics

Aggregate and query streaming data in memory, where latency comes from disk access rather than raw compute.

Machine learning and AI

Train models and run inference on Nvidia GPUs attached to any VM size. Start with a T4 for prototyping and move to an L4 for larger workloads.

Client hosting and agency infrastructure

Agencies and resellers can run isolated client environments under one organisation. Multi-user access and pooled billing keep things simple as the client list grows.

Built on high-performance hardware

Every cloud compute instance on Krystal Cloud runs on hardware selected for performance and reliability.

High-frequency CPUs

Compute instances run on high-frequency processors chosen for their clock speeds and core density, with thousands of vCores available across the platform.

Transfer

Each VM includes 1TB of external transfer. Transfer is pooled across all VMs in your organisation, so if one VM uses less, another can use more. Inbound transfer is free.

Self-healing Block Storage

System disks are stored across a distributed architecture with three copies of every block, at no extra cost. If a node fails, your data is already replicated and your VM recovers immediately. Thousands of TBs of storage are available across the platform.

Inclusive DDoS protection

Real-time, fully automated DDoS mitigation is included with every VM. No extra cost, no configuration needed.

Automatic fallover

If a physical node goes offline, your VM moves to a healthy node automatically. You stay online.

Compute cloud service starting prices

All compute instances are billed by the second. You only pay for what you use, and you can cancel at any time. Full pricing, including all tiers and configurations, is on the cloud pricing page.
