The problem
Some workloads need hardware that is expensive in the big clouds or not available in the region they must run in: GPUs for inference or rendering, servers with many cores for simulation or builds. Running that hardware yourself means a public IP address, open ports for users and for administrators, and a VPN to maintain.
How the pieces fit
- The servers run in the Noraina data centre you choose, with the configuration your workload needs. We operate the platform, network and firewall around them; you keep control of what runs inside.
- Public access goes through Cloudflare. A Cloudflare Tunnel connects the server out to Cloudflare, so nothing listens on the internet. The WAF, DDoS protection, bot management and API protection filter every request first.
- Administrative access goes through Cloudflare Access. SSH, RDP and management consoles are published as applications with policies based on identity and device posture, and every session is logged.
- Logs from both paths are kept with Cloudflare Logpush in storage you control or in your SIEM.
Our network peers locally with Cloudflare, so the path between the servers and the edge is short.
What you get
- The hardware your workload needs, in the European data centre and country you need.
- No open inbound ports for users or administrators.
- No VPN: access per application, verified on every connection and removed in one place.
- A complete log of who accessed what, as evidence for access control and logging requirements.
