Academic CPU Services

Deterministic Sovereign Compute for Researchers

myresearchcloud provides dedicated, predictable infrastructure designed specifically for Canadian researchers, faculty, graduate students, and academic labs.

This is not retail cloud.

This is research-grade infrastructure with simple billing and no surprises.

Designed for Academic Workloads

Built for:

AI model development
Data preprocessing
Simulation and modelling
Research software development
Graduate research environments
SME and university collaborations

We provide deterministic compute capacity with cross-rack replicated storage and predictable monthly pricing.

Simple, Grant-Friendly Pricing

Academic budgets require predictability. Our pricing model is fixed and transparent.

3-Year Commitment (Best Value)

$0.0275 per vCPU per hour
$20.08 per vCPU per month

1-Year Commitment

$0.0330 per vCPU per hour
$24.09 per vCPU per month

Monthly

$0.0385 per vCPU per hour
$28.11 per vCPU per month

Each vCPU includes bundled RAM and storage as described above.

There are no additional line items.

Your invoice reflects only your committed vCPU.

1H 2026 Intel CPU Pricing

Who This Is For

This platform is ideal for:

Researchers who need stable VM environments
Labs that require deterministic performance
Grants that require fixed, predictable budgeting
Faculty collaborating with SMEs
Projects that cannot risk variable cloud billing

Sovereign and Transparent

All infrastructure is hosted in Canada.
We do not monetize usage volatility.
We do not bill for data transfer.
We do not apply hidden performance tiers.

What You Receive

Each vCPU includes:

1 dedicated physical Intel Cascade Lake core (1:1 allocation)
4 GB RAM
8 GB replicated enterprise SSD
6 GB replicated HDD storage
Cross-rack Ceph redundancy
25Gb internal network fabric

There is:

No CPU oversubscription
No burst-credit throttling
No IOPS tiers
No variable storage billing
No egress charges

Your allocation is reserved and predictable.

How We Compare

Public hyperscalers often include:

Core oversubscription
Separate storage billing
IOPS tiers
Egress fees
Variable monthly invoices

National HPC programs provide:

Shared batch queues
Grant-based allocation
No guaranteed VM environments

myresearchcloud sits between these models.

We provide:

Dedicated compute
Replicated storage
Predictable billing
Sovereign Canadian hosting
Rapid provisioning

Volume & Commitment Discounts

Reserved Instances (RIs) Paid Up-Front — Additional discount available for 1-year and 3-year terms paid in advance.
Multiple RIs — Volume-based discounts available for research groups or institutions provisioning multiple reserved instances.

Additional S3 Storage (per month)

Storage Tier	Monthly Cost (CAD / TB)
Tape-Backed S3 — Archival class; ideal for long-term cold storage.	$3 / TB
Standard Spindle S3 — Balanced cost-to-performance tier.	$6 / TB
NVMe-Backed S3 — High-throughput tier for active datasets or AI training workloads.	$11 / TB

Add-on storage may be provisioned in addition to instance allocations upon request.
All storage tiers are Canadian-hosted and compliant with full data-residency requirements.
Please contact us for storage requirements exceeding one petabyte (PB) to discuss additional discounting.

Notes

The following terms apply to all academic and nonprofit instance types, ensuring transparency, predictability, and full data sovereignty.

All pricing is listed in CAD per hour (approximately 730 hours per month).
Pricing includes full compute, storage, and bandwidth usage — no egress, IOPS, or hidden fees.
CPU instances feature dedicated 25Gb/s networking for sustained throughput and low-latency inference.
Each instance runs on isolated hardware — no shared cores, no noisy neighbors, and no throttling.
All services are hosted in Canadian sovereign datacentres operated in partnership with ThinkOn.
Infrastructure is optimized for energy efficiency, predictable performance, and full data residency within Canada.
