Compute

Compute is a complete virtual computing environment, allowing you build a complete server infrastructure using the latest tools and methods.

If you require a different combination of memory/compute/storage, please contact us.

Instances: On-Demand 

On-demand compute instances are billed on an hourly basis, giving you complete flexibility to scale your platform up and down without long-term commitments. This frees you from the costs and complexities of planning, purchasing, and maintaining hardware and transforms what are commonly large fixed costs into much smaller variable costs.

The prices below includes the cost of running instances created from public and private operating system images.

General Purpose

The general purpose (M3) instances deliver fixed performance and a good balance between processing capabilites and memory. They are suited for most application workloads.

Each vCPU corresponds to a hardware cpu thread and is reserved. There are no overbooking of RAM or CPU.

Linux

Instances running most linux-based images and "bring your own license" images without any licensing.

Windows

Instances launched with licensed Microsoft Windows images.

Flexible Instances

For testing or development purposes with burst-like usage patterns, we offer flexible instances (T2). These instances does not have reserved and dedicated CPU capacity, and share more resources with other users. They also do not have any local SSD storage, instead you allocate the amount of storage you need from centralized volume storage.

Reserved Instances

By reserving capacity in the cloud, you are guaranteed resources for your long-running projects, and you will also recieve a discount based on your commitment.

Please contact our sales team for more details.

Images

The disk image service lets you create or upload your own operating system images to use for instances. The service can also be used to snapshot the current local disk state of an instance, enabling you to get a point of time recovery point or a base-image for other instances.

Image storage is billed monthly, based on the space average space utilized for the invoice period.

Volumes

Block Storage volumes are used for persistent storage for your instances.  Persistent storage means that the storage resource outlives any other resource and is always available, regardless of the state of a running instance.

Networking

The compute infrastructure feature a fully virtualized networking platform. This enables you to recreate complex networking scenarios and duplicate existing datacenter deployments.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is charged on a pr. GB basis. We only charge for egress (outbound) network transfers, ingress (inbound) network transfers are free. Internal communication on the same network is also free. We aggregate all bandwidth usage on instances and object storage across all availability zones and regions, and charge based on the rates below.

Object Storage

Our pricing is based on the average amount of storage used each month and the amount of data transferred.

The "Standard" storage policy keeps 3 replicas of your object. The "Reduced" storage policy only keeps 2 replicas, reducing durability and availability.

Bandwidth is charged on a pr. GB basis. We only charge for egress (outbound) network transfers, ingress (inbound) network transfers are free. Prices are the same as for compute bandwidth.

Discounts

Volume

All domains with a monthly usage exceeding certain amounts will recieve a percentage based discount. This will be automatically deducted from the total usage at the end of each month.

Commitment

You can choose to lock one or multiple amounts of usage per month with a commitment duration of 12, 24 or 36 months. By doing this you guarantee to at least reach the locked amounts for the entire commitment duration in exchange for a discount. This applies to usage in general and do not lock you to specific services or products. Contact us to set up discounts or if you have questions.

Prepayment

Prepayment discounts are connected to commitments. Paying for usage in advance grants the following discounts:

Discount Example: Simple

You have a fairly predictable usage per month of 2000 NOK and this is expected to continue in the future. Agreeing to a 3 year commitment of 2000 NOK per month gives a 40% discount reducing the cost to 1200 NOK per month. This will be the minimum amount you have to pay each month for the entire contract duration. Usage above the commited amount is not discounted.

In addition you can choose to prepay for 12, 24 or 36 months of usage gaining additional discounts.
