Octo8 | Sovereign Infrastructure

Your systems and data,
within your boundaries

A full private cloud recovery site, with compute, platform, and storage, that can run your operations within your boundaries.

For nations, communities, and organizations whose systems and data cannot leave defined boundaries. Production stays where it is. When it fails, HPE Private Cloud takes over the services you cannot do without, on infrastructure that stays under your governance, sized to the minimum viable business with the 4R method.

The platform

A recovery site that runs operations, not just holds data

HPE Private Cloud is full infrastructure and platform. In a disaster, it runs your critical services, not only stores copies of them. See the HPE Private Cloud platform

Compute

Virtual machines, containers, and bare metal

Capacity for your Tier 1 services to run on during an outage, sized to the minimum viable business.

Platform

Self-service and automation

A unified console and automation for routine operations, delivered through the HPE GreenLake operating model and suited to lean IT teams.

Storage

HPE or NetApp

Replicated data and locked copies on the platform you prefer.

Testing

Recovery tests without disruption

Failover is rehearsed on the recovery site without touching production.

What it requires

What sovereignty actually requires

Residency: recovered systems and protected records stay within your defined geographic, legal, and jurisdictional boundaries.

Data sovereignty: collection, ownership, and use of community data governed by the community itself.

Disconnected operation: an air-gapped option where connectivity is limited or by choice.

Budget predictability: consumption aligned to fixed budget and grant cycles.

Regulatory obligations: designed around the rules that apply to your data. Compliance responsibilities are confirmed for each engagement.

Aligned with Indigenous Data Sovereignty, the CARE Principles, and OCAP®.

HPE Private Cloud and NetApp

Octo8 designs and stewards. Our technology partners deliver, operate, and support the infrastructure under their own service commitments.

HPE Private Cloud

Runs the services that must keep running, on private infrastructure sited in a colocation facility or a location you choose.

HPE or NetApp storage

Holds the protected copies. Choose HPE storage or NetApp, based on what you already run and prefer.

Octo8

Designs the environment, sizes the subscriptions, runs the tests, and right-sizes at every renewal. No infrastructure on our books.
