Your Team, Our Engineers — One Partnership Built on Open Infrastructure

Founded by infrastructure and DevOps engineers, we design, deploy, and operate your cloud as if it were our own. No offshore ticket queues. No Level-1 scripts. Real engineers, real answers — from our data center in Alpharetta, Georgia, serving businesses across the United States.

Deploy your first VM

Built for real-world scale —
without the public-cloud tax or Egress Fees

Public cloud providers bill you for the privilege of leaving. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure charge egress fees every time your data moves — and those fees compound fast once you are running production workloads at any real scale. For businesses with predictable, always-on infrastructure, that billing model is not a cloud tax. It is a structural penalty for growing.

MarQi Cloud blends virtual compute with your own hardware in the same zone, connecting your on-premise equipment directly into our open source cloud fabric. You get the speed of bare metal and the flexibility of cloud in a single, managed environment — powered by Apache CloudStack, backed by Ceph, and monitored through open source observability tooling your team can actually read.

Flexible, Pay-As-You-Go Pricing
Transparent Cloud Pricing With No Hidden Fees

Customize your cloud resources. Pay only for what you use.

Most cloud pricing calculators require a finance degree to produce a number you can actually rely on. MarQi Cloud pricing is published, flat, and honest. What you see on our pricing page is what appears on your invoice — with nothing added after the fact for data movement, API calls, storage retrieval, or the privilege of scaling up.

Build a resource pool and assign to your VM(s) as needed. Scale up or scale down anytime from the client portal — no calls required.

  • $2 per vCPU

  • $2 per GB of RAM

  • $0.13 per GB of SSD Enterprise Storage

VM instances run on enterprise-grade open source virtualization with strict CPU and memory enforcement.

Bare Metal deployments use Isolated Bare Metal (MaaS) architecture, delivering full hardware performance with complete tenant isolation.

All GPU and disk resources use direct hardware passthrough — zero overhead.

Zones & Growth
Independent Data Centers Powering Open Source Cloud Nationally

Each MarQi Cloud zone is an independent data center with redundant power, redundant cooling, and a fully redundant network fabric. Inter-zone traffic flows encrypted over our Tier-1 backbone — always on, always private, always without egress charges between zones. Your workloads stay where you deploy them, and they move between zones when you need them to, without the data transfer penalty that hyperscalers attach to every cross-region operation.

Zone1 — Alpharetta, Georgia (LIVE)

  • Located in the heart of Alpharetta, Georgia’s tech corridor.

  • Redundant multi-NIC hosts, Tier-1 network providers, and enterprise-grade Ceph storage cluster.

  • Ample rack space and colocation options for your own BYO hardware.

  • Optimized for enterprise cloud hosting workloads and Isolated Bare Metal (MaaS) deployments.

Zone2 — Under Construction (COMING SOON)

  • Purpose-built from the ground up for GPU AI managed services and ML compute workloads.

  • Incorporates both traditional air cooling and next-generation liquid cooling for dense, no egress fee GPU node clusters.

  • Will support large-scale colocation, open source hybrid networking, and distributed storage for HPC workloads.

Common Questions About
MarQi Cloud

Direct answers to the questions businesses ask most often about our open source cloud platform, pricing, and infrastructure.

What is MarQi Cloud?
MarQi Cloud is an open source cloud platform provider based in Alpharetta, Georgia. We deliver managed hybrid cloud infrastructure, GPU AI compute, colocation, private circuits, and cloud application development with no egress fees, no vendor lock-in, and transparent pricing — operated by engineers 24/7.
Does MarQi Cloud charge egress fees?
No. MarQi Cloud does not charge egress fees on any plan. Data movement between your hardware, our virtual compute layer, between zones, and outbound to the internet generates no per-gigabyte charge. Zero egress fees is a permanent pricing commitment — not a promotional offer or a first-year incentive.
What open source technologies does MarQi Cloud use?
MarQi Cloud's infrastructure runs on Apache CloudStack for compute and networking, Ceph for distributed block and object storage, KVM for hypervisor isolation, WireGuard for encrypted VPN access, and Prometheus with Grafana for open source monitoring and observability. Every component is fully open source — no proprietary APIs, no licensing fees, no vendor dependencies anywhere in the stack.
Where is MarQi Cloud located?
MarQi Cloud's Zone 1 data center is located at 190 Bluegrass Valley Pkwy, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005 — in the heart of the Southeast US technology corridor. The facility provides sub-5ms latency to businesses across the Atlanta metro and delivers national open source cloud services to businesses across the United States.
What cloud services does MarQi Cloud offer?
MarQi Cloud offers hybrid cloud services, GPU AI managed services, colocation and BYO hardware, private circuits and BGP peering, fully managed cloud services with 24/7 engineer support, and cloud application development — all built on open source infrastructure with no vendor lock-in and no egress fees.

What MarQi Cloud runs

Everything below runs on the same open source foundation — KVM for compute, Ceph/PetaSAN for storage, WireGuard for private access — operated by the engineers who built it, from our own facility in Alpharetta, GA.

Hybrid cloud. Your existing hardware and our cloud in a single VPC, so migration happens one tier at a time instead of as a cutover. See hybrid cloud services.

Colocation and BYO hardware. Rack space, power and cooling in the Atlanta metro, connected directly to our fabric and storage rather than through a cross-connect. See colocation and BYO hardware.

GPUs for AI and ML. Dedicated accelerators with PCIe passthrough, air and liquid cooling, and no transfer charge on training data. See GPUs for AI/ML.

Private circuits and peering. Dedicated connectivity and BGP peering where a tunnel over the internet is not enough. See private circuits and peering.

Managed services. Our engineers run the estate — hypervisor to storage to network — so you do not have to staff a rotation. See managed services.

The full range is on solutions, and what each plan includes is on pricing.

Why no egress fees changes the arithmetic

On a small workload, egress is a rounding difference. On anything that moves real volume — backups to a second site, analytics exports, media delivery, AI training sets — it is routinely the largest line on a cloud invoice, and the line that grows fastest as you succeed. We do not charge it. Combined with an open source stack and standard machine images, that also means leaving us is not expensive, which is the only credible test of "no vendor lock-in".

The infrastructure underneath

We publish how it is built rather than abstracting it behind a brand name: multi-core hosts with multiple network paths on the compute platform, per-zone storage clusters with triple replication under storage architecture, redundant switching and tier-1 upstream under network fabric, and private VPCs reached over WireGuard. Locations are listed under our zones.

Data protection is included, not an upsell — see snapshots and backups — and the platform is watched around the clock, described under status and monitoring.

Engineer-operated, from Alpharetta, GA

MarQi Cloud is run by infrastructure engineers, in partnership with Digital Ignition, serving the Atlanta metro and customers across the United States. When you open a ticket, an engineer reads it. More on about MarQi Cloud.
