Vultr Launches High-Performance Cloud Compute for Public Sector

via Business Wire

AI-ready cloud delivers secure, sovereign, and scalable infrastructure for federal, regional, and academic institutions

Vultr, the world’s largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, today announced the launch of its high-performance cloud compute, cloud GPU, and bare metal infrastructure for the public sector. This launch empowers public institutions to modernize critical systems, apply AI responsibly, and deliver secure citizen services at scale.

As federal, regional, and academic institutions transform digital services, they face mounting pressure to meet rising citizen expectations and close the gap with private sector experiences. This urgency is reflected in EY’s research, which shows that 58% of respondents believe governments and the public sector need to accelerate AI adoption. Supporting this trend, industry data from Vultr’s annual AI maturity report finds 74% of organizations classify themselves as “Accelerated” or “Transformational.” Yet, despite this progress, the sector continues to grapple with mission fragmentation, compliance requirements, and the challenge of turning AI strategies into measurable citizen impact.

Available across six continents and 32 cloud data center regions, Vultr’s cost-predictable public sector cloud combines AI readiness, sovereign options, and full compliance coverage with global access to AMD and NVIDIA GPUs for AI training, inference, and agentic AI. Additional tools, such as Serverless Inference, Kubernetes Engine, and integrated storage solutions, make it a reliable choice for public sector organizations building and scaling AI-driven content, personalization, and real-time applications.

To further accelerate adoption, Vultr is working with partners such as Rancher Government Solutions (RGS), the leader in secure, enterprise-grade Kubernetes and container management for the U.S. Government.

Through the Vultr Cloud Alliance, a network of technology and service partners, Vultr empowers public sector agencies to seamlessly integrate AI, data, and cloud-native solutions across any environment. With partners like Clarifai, agencies can build and deploy powerful AI models on Vultr’s high-performance infrastructure.

“The public sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation to improve transparency, operational efficiency, and citizen-centric outcomes,” said Kevin Cochrane, CMO of Vultr. “From national defense to digital identity systems, public institutions need scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure to meet growing demands. Vultr equips agencies, universities, and justice systems to innovate at speed while keeping control of their data and digital strategies.

With this rollout, public sector institutions can now take advantage of key capabilities designed to accelerate modernization and ensure compliance, including:

  • Sovereign cloud regions: Regional deployment options with strict data residency controls to safeguard sensitive citizen and government information.
  • Compliance-first infrastructure: Coverage across GDPR, DORA, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more, with a defined FedRAMP and GovRAMP roadmap toward Moderate authorization, ensuring public sector and national security workloads meet strict regulatory requirements.
  • Composable, multicloud, and hybrid infrastructure: API-first environments that integrate with existing IT systems and third-party edge, enabling modernization, resilience, and reduced procurement risk.
  • Predictable pricing: Transparent usage-based pricing with Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis aligned to public sector oversight, fiscal cycles, and budget discipline.

“Government agencies need secure, sovereign-ready infrastructure to power AI and modernize critical services,” said Ben Zifony, VP of Ecosystem and Partnerships at Rancher Government Solutions. “Together with Vultr, we are enabling flexible, GPU-powered edge environments that help agencies innovate confidently and respond to mission needs in real-time.”

“Driving digital transformation in the public sector requires infrastructure that balances global reach with local control,” said Craig Matsumoto, Contributing Analyst at Futuriom. “Vultr gives governments the ability to deploy AI for citizen services with the performance, compliance, and cost transparency needed to achieve tangible outcomes at both national and local levels.”
