FAQs about Signature Private Cloud
Signature Private Cloud is a hyperscale-grade sovereign cloud platform engineered for governments, public sector entities, and regulated enterprises whose workloads include secret and top-secret data. Unlike typical private clouds, data, operational, and technological rather than one or two.
The infrastructure sits in G42-owned UAE data centres, the platform is operated by cleared local personnel, and the stack itself is built on open-source foundations with Core42-owned IP. There is no proprietary or foreign-controlled software in the critical path.
Yes, that is the platform's primary design point. Signature offers air-gapped, restricted, and connected deployment models that map directly to data classification levels. Air-gapped environments are engineered for top-secret workloads with no external connectivity. Restricted models serve secret data classification with tightly controlled paths and a dedicated control plane.
Physical access is limited to cleared, vetted personnel. Encryption keys are managed locally. Every layer is auditable.
Data resides exclusively in G42-owned data centres located within UAE national borders, subject to UAE law. Operations are performed locally - no offshore support, no remote administrative access, no foreign jurisdictions in the chain of custody. Access is restricted to cleared and vetted personnel physically located in country, with role-based controls and full audit logging.
Three models, selected by data classification and connectivity needs. Air-gapped - fully isolated, no external connectivity, for top-secret defense and national security workloads. Restricted - controlled connectivity with dedicated control plane, for secret-class government and regulatory data. Connected – multi-tenant shared cloud for sensitive internet-facing workloads that still require local jurisdiction.
Our sovereign cloud architects work with you to map workloads to the right deployment model.
A comprehensive suite of IaaS and Management Services IaaS includes including VMs (CPU and GPU), VM images, block, file, and object storage, cloud backup, VPC, load balancing, DNS, and external IP. Management services cover Identity and access, Key management, audit, monitoring, and notifications.
Best-in-class silicon from NVIDIA, AMD, and Dell, integrated by Core42 engineering teams. The cloud platform itself is built on Red Hat OpenStack and orchestrated through an in-house engineered cloud platform. Open source means transparency - every component is inspectable, auditable, and free of foreign-controlled proprietary lock-in.
Signature is built on a three availability zone architecture, with zones interconnected over G42-owned private dark fibre - never the public internet. The design delivers gold-standard resilience, ultra-low inter-zone latency, and continuity of operations even during regional events- hosted in Uptime Institute Tier 3 data centres.
Engagements begin with a sovereign cloud briefing tailored to your workload classification, regulatory environment, and operational requirements. From there, our architects build a deployment model, single environment or hybrid across air-gapped, restricted, and connected, with a clear migration and assurance plan.
