RRDC is a consultative cloud infrastructure firm. We help enterprises diagnose the compute, capacity, and cost problems that hyperscalers and hardware vendors created — and we connect them to a private cloud network capable of fixing them. Our advisory is free. The math is straightforward. The introduction is what's hard to get.
Hardware lead times stretched to six and nine months. Component costs that tanked budgets already approved. Hyperscaler bills climbing every quarter while multi-year commitments (AWS Enterprise Discount Programs, Azure MACCs, Google Cloud CUDs) locked you in. GPU capacity gated behind quota requests and reservations. VMware repricing that reset every infrastructure budget meeting in the industry.
Most CIOs are working three or four of those problems at once. RRDC was built for that moment — to diagnose which workloads need to move, where they should move to, and what the cost and timeline look like before anyone signs anything.
Every customer conversation we have starts with one of these four. Most start with two.
Steady-state workloads sitting on hyperscaler list pricing built to capture peak. We diagnose what to repatriate, what to keep, and what the savings look like in writing.
See how →Training and inference shouldn't require a 12-month reservation. We connect AI teams to private dedicated GPU capacity available in days, billed monthly, no waitlist.
See how →Broadcom's repricing has reset every infrastructure budget conversation. We help customers exit VMware onto open-stack private cloud — on their timeline, not the vendor's.
See how →Servers (storage and memory) in six to nine months. GPUs in three to four quarters. Component costs up. We diagnose whether to bridge to private capacity, replace the refresh entirely, or both.
See how →Most comparisons put public cloud on one side and everything else on the other. That isn't the decision our customers are making. This is.

The security and control of private infrastructure, consumed with the economics and utility people associate with public cloud. That combination is the whole proposition — and it is the column nobody had five years ago.
Most private cloud comparisons stop at price. These are the four things that determine how much of your weekend a lift-and-shift costs.
1:1 IP mapping and IP pinning mean workloads arrive with the addresses they left with. Firewall rules, DNS, licence bindings and hard-coded application config survive the move intact.
Private networking with Layer 2 segmentation and role-based access control. Dedicated, non-oversubscribed compute — no noisy neighbors competing for your cycles.
Self-service through a web portal, REST API, or Terraform. Your existing tooling, pipelines and automation keep working. No proprietary configuration to unpick if you leave.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, in Tier III+ facilities, against a 99.99% availability SLA. That's 52 minutes of annual downtime rather than the 8 hours 46 minutes a 99.9% SLA permits.
RRDC's discovery engagement costs you nothing. On a 30-minute discovery call we walk through your environment, the pain points you're working, and where a private cloud alternative does or doesn't fit. If there's a fit, you receive a written cost comparison and a migration shape within 48 hours.
The infrastructure itself is delivered by a private cloud network we represent — a global federation of Tier III+ data centers operating to enterprise-grade standards. RRDC stays in the advisory loop. The contract and billing run through the network directly.

In June 2026 the federal government launched AI for All, a national AI strategy with sovereignty as one of three pillars — committing to build "the foundations of sovereign Canadian AI: compute, cloud, connectivity, data, and talent."
Procurement has already moved. Data residency language now appears in most Canadian government RFPs. Alberta's Sovereign Compute Environment excludes vendors subject to the U.S. CLOUD Act outright. Ontario and B.C. have added sovereignty assessments to vendor qualification.
Read our sovereign cloud brief →The distinction Canadian procurement has started scoring against:
Canadian servers under a U.S. parent satisfy residency. They do not necessarily satisfy sovereignty.
