Why enterprises move their infrastructure to Robson

Cloud bills you cannot predict

Usage-based metering grows faster than the business, and moving data out costs more again. We quote capacity, isolation and support up front, so the cost of growth is clear before you commit.

A move that cannot break anything

The systems your business runs on cannot go dark for a migration. We move workloads in planned stages, each with a way back, and support the platforms you already run.

Your data under another country's law

Data held by a foreign-owned provider can be subject to that country's laws. With Robson it is stored and processed in Canadian data centres, run by a Canadian company.

A small account at a giant provider

Ticket queues and support tiers make it hard to reach anyone who knows your setup. Dedicated deployments come with a dedicated support team, and every deployment has 24/7 monitoring.

Robson compared with a typical hyperscale cloud

Large public clouds suit many workloads. This is where Robson is different.

  • Where your data lives

    Robson: Our Canadian data centres in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal

    Typical hyperscale cloud: The regions you configure, run by the provider

  • Whose law applies to the operator

    Robson: A Canadian, Indigenous owned company

    Typical hyperscale cloud: Often a US company, subject to laws such as the US CLOUD Act

  • How you are billed

    Robson: Capacity, isolation and support quoted up front

    Typical hyperscale cloud: Metered usage, with charges for data transfer

  • Who you talk to

    Robson: A dedicated team on dedicated deployments

    Typical hyperscale cloud: Support plans and ticket queues

  • Responsibilities

    Robson: Written down for each deployment

    Typical hyperscale cloud: A standard shared-responsibility model

Deployment

Three ways to run with Robson

The same Canadian network, storage and compute, packaged to match how much isolation and customization you need.

Shared

Canadian cloud, shared footprint

Multi-tenant Canadian cloud. Compute, storage and networking on demand, and you pay for what you use.

  • Pay-as-you-go virtual machines and storage
  • Data kept in our Canadian data centres
  • Shared Canadian network
  • 24/7 monitoring and support

Best for: Teams that want Canadian hosting without managing hardware.

Dedicated

Single-tenant, fully isolated

Dedicated servers and reserved capacity for you alone. No shared tenancy, predictable performance.

  • Single-tenant compute and GPU
  • Reserved, predictable capacity
  • Private VLANs and connectivity
  • A dedicated support team

Best for: Regulated workloads in government, healthcare and finance.

Custom

Built around your mandate

Hybrid and on-premise deployments, custom integrations and infrastructure designed to your requirements.

  • Hybrid and on-premise deployment
  • Custom integrations
  • Compliance and audit support
  • A dedicated solutions architect

Best for: Public sector and enterprise teams with specific sovereignty or compliance needs.

Relevant services

Enterprise hosting

Shared, dedicated and custom capacity, with responsibilities written down for each deployment.

Data protection and recovery

Backup, retention and tested recovery for the systems you cannot lose.

Infrastructure costs a growing business can plan for

The situation
A Canadian company's usage-based cloud bill grows faster than the business, and its account gets little attention from a large provider.
What Robson does
Robson reviews the workloads, quotes capacity, isolation and support up front, then moves systems to dedicated infrastructure in Canadian data centres in planned stages.
What changes
The company knows what growth will cost before it commits, works with a support team that knows its environment, and runs at 99.999% uptime.

Common questions

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. Most moves happen in stages, starting with the systems where the benefit is clearest. Each stage has a way back, so the services that depend on it keep running.

Can we keep some workloads in our current cloud?

Yes. Custom deployments can be hybrid, so you can keep what works where it is and move the rest.

How is pricing worked out?

From capacity, isolation, performance, licensing, protection scope, migration and support. We quote these up front after a requirements review, so you know the cost before you commit.

Do you support VMware?

Yes. We support VMware environments, so you can keep the platform you run today.

Who supports us after go-live?

Every deployment has 24/7 monitoring and support. Dedicated deployments also come with a dedicated support team that knows your environment.

What uptime do we get?

Our infrastructure runs at 99.999% uptime. The service commitment for your deployment is written into your agreement.

The first meeting

A requirements review starts with what you run today, where it is heading and the constraints that matter most. You leave with a clear view of what moving would involve.

It helps to bring

  • Your current environment and the platforms it runs on
  • Your current cloud or hosting costs, if you can share them
  • Growth plans and performance requirements
  • Migration constraints and your budget cycle

Supplier information you can review now is in Trust and Procurement.
