Public sector organizations are increasingly focused on modernization. From digital portals and national identity systems to defense simulations and research computing, agencies must deliver secure, citizen-focused services while meeting strict compliance and budget requirements.
Legacy infrastructure and rigid hyperscaler contracts have slowed this progress. Vultr addresses this challenge with our secure, sovereign, and cost-efficient cloud platform to governments, defense agencies, academic institutions, and justice systems worldwide.
Security and compliance first
Every public sector initiative begins with trust. Vultr provides a strong compliance foundation with SOC 2 and ISO/IEC certifications as well as GDPR, HIPAA, and DORA compliance programs, and more:
- Sovereign cloud: Vultr’s network is designed to enable sovereign deployments, ensuring data residency and compliance with national regulations. Today, sovereign cloud is available on demand, with a roadmap to make it available as a day-one option.
- Zero Trust principles: Vultr applies least-privilege access, workload isolation with bare metal and dedicated GPUs, and continuous environment monitoring. These practices strengthen protection for sensitive workloads and provide auditable control.
- Compliance roadmap: Vultr is progressing toward FedRAMP and GovRAMP Moderate Authorization, advancing IAM capabilities, and formalizing Zero Trust alignment as standards mature.
Predictable costs and ease of use
Public budgets demand cost discipline. Vultr’s transparent pricing model is significantly more affordable than hyperscalers for similar infrastructure, with no hidden fees. Agencies can confidently scale services or AI workloads, knowing they can plan multi-year projects without budget overruns.
The Vultr platform is also designed for ease of use, reducing the need for specialized engineering resources. With open APIs, Terraform and Ansible compatibility, and Kubernetes orchestration, institutions can move quickly while retaining complete infrastructure control.
Built for public sector workloads
Vultr supports the diverse needs of public institutions across six core areas:
- Digital infrastructure: National identity systems, payments, licensing platforms, and citizen engagement services hosted on secure, sovereign cloud.
- Digital services: Benefits, tax filing, healthcare scheduling, and workforce systems with secure logins and AI-driven assistance.
- Defense and cybersecurity: Isolated GPU and bare metal environments for simulations, threat detection, and secure mission data processing.
- Law and justice: AI-assisted legal research, e-discovery, and secure digital case management with strict data residency.
- Education and research: High-performance GPU clusters and managed Kubernetes for simulations, AI model training, and large-scale academic projects.
- Government efficiency and administration: Modernizing IT systems, citizen portals, and analytics pipelines for transparency and operational efficiency.
The Vultr advantage
Unlike hyperscalers, Vultr combines sovereign-ready deployments, predictable cost, and ease of use with enterprise-grade performance. With instant access to AMD Instinct™ and NVIDIA GPUs, agencies can train AI models, run simulations, and power citizen services without lock-in.
By aligning with government priorities around sovereignty, compliance, and budget accountability, Vultr provides a trusted foundation for mission-critical modernization.
