Dedicated GPU servers in a Canadian-owned facility, used by your organization alone. Own them, finance them or lease them, at a price fixed for the term. A Canadian owner and operator with no US parent, and no per-seat or per-token charges.
Storing client data in a US provider's Toronto or Montréal region satisfies residency. It does not settle sovereignty: the provider's parent answers to US courts wherever the server sits. Regulators, professional bodies and privacy impact assessments increasingly ask about the second thing.
The servers are owned by you or by a Canadian company, racked in a Canadian-owned colocation facility, and administered from Canada. Nothing in the chain reports to a US parent.
Dedicated hardware, single tenant. Your model weights, prompts, documents and logs live on machines no other customer touches. You hold the keys. You can audit that; you can't audit a shared API.
We source production-proven GPU generations that run today's open-weight models comfortably, sourced on the institutional secondary market and independently verified. That is where the saving comes from.

The smallest deal is three dedicated 8-GPU servers, which carry about 180 people using AI through the working day. Set your team, workload, hardware and term, then choose to lease the servers or own them; prices are before tax. Financing is quoted in your term summary.
A 45-minute working session on your workloads, your confidentiality obligations and your current AI spend. You get a written sizing and a one-page term summary within two business days. Want to test first? A Proof Month puts your own documents on a dedicated Canadian server for 30 days, credited in full if you sign within 60 days.
You sign to own, finance or lease, at a fixed price. Money you pay before delivery sits in a lawyer's trust account: purchase money is released only when the servers ship and pass acceptance; a lease deposit is released when we order your servers.
We source your exact specification on the institutional secondary market. Every GPU is independently benchmarked before we accept it. A lease price never moves with hardware costs. If you own or finance and hardware costs move outside the band written into your agreement, you see the adjustment before anything is bought.
Servers clear customs and are racked in a Canadian-owned facility. We deploy your chosen models behind a private API and a web chat interface your people sign into, and hand you the keys. If the servers miss the throughput figure in your term summary, you walk away with your money. Fees start at acceptance, not at signature.
We wrote the contract the way we would want to sign it as a customer: a fixed price, dedicated hardware, and flexibility that is priced openly instead of buried. You choose who owns the servers.
You buy the servers and hold title from day one. We source, commission and run them: colocation and power at cost plus a fixed management fee. Your money stays in trust until the servers ship and pass acceptance. Priced in the calculator above.
A Canadian equipment lessor buys the servers and leases them to you, so nothing large is paid up front. We run them under a separate service contract.
One fixed monthly price for the term, shown in the calculator above, stepping down 20% at month 37 on terms longer than 36 months.
One monthly fee for months 1 to 36. On longer terms it falls 20% at month 37 and stays there. No usage tiers, no egress charges.
Six months of fees, half at signature and half at order. The first half sits in trust until your servers are ordered. All of it comes back to you as the last six months of service.
Each agreement names how a failed server is replaced: an advance-replacement warranty from the supplier, which ships a replacement before the failed unit goes back, or a fourth server you own as your standby. If we miss the replacement window in your agreement, you receive service credits.
Add servers at the same rate card for twelve months after you sign. Each addition is a schedule to the lease you already have.
On terms longer than 36 months you can add an exit right, the right to hand back a server, or a hardware refresh at month 36. Each has a stated price per GPU-hour in your term summary.
Your agreement can name your servers, bind any lender to honour your lease, let you take your servers over and continue directly with the facility and our operations partner, and hold credentials in escrow. Details.
At the end of the term you may purchase your servers at a price fixed in the lease, or appraised value if that is higher.
Sovrakeep is new, and no customer is in service yet. This offer is for our first three customers, or until 28 February 2027, whichever comes first: you go first with us, and here is what you get for it. Your money is held in trust until your servers pass acceptance, and the continuity protections are available in your agreement. In return we ask for a named reference and a short case study after three months in service.
Thirty days on a dedicated Canadian server with your own documents. Every dollar is credited to your agreement if you sign within 60 days.
No commissioning fee when you sign within 14 days of your term summary.
Add servers at the prices you signed at for two years instead of one.
Introduce another organization that signs, and one month of your monthly fee is credited to you.
Your regulator's outsourcing guidance, provincial or federal, expects you to know where a material workload runs, who can reach it and how you would exit. A dedicated server answers all three.
Health authorities, universities, Crown corporations, municipalities. The privacy impact assessment has to answer the jurisdiction question. Canadian-owned, single-tenant hardware makes that answer one sentence.
Privileged files, tax data, client identity records. Document review, working papers, research and drafting with nothing sent to a US API.
Dictation, chart summarization and report drafting on isolated hardware, under the health-privacy law of your province.
Selling to the organizations above means passing their security review. Run your product's AI on Sovrakeep servers and carry a sovereign answer into every deal. White-label terms available.
Training frontier models needs the newest chips. Running models for an organization does not. An 8-GPU A100-class server runs 70-billion-parameter open-weight models at interactive speed for dozens of simultaneous users, and the software that runs them keeps getting faster on the same hardware. Large providers retire these servers because their own specifications moved on. The servers did not stop working.
Every GPU is independently benchmarked and stress-tested before we accept it, we buy refurbished units with warranty where available, and every agreement names a replacement plan: an advance-replacement warranty from the supplier, or a fourth server you keep as your own standby. Reliability risk sits with us under the agreement, not with you.
US disclosure laws such as the CLOUD Act compel companies that are subject to US jurisdiction. Sovrakeep is Canadian-owned and operated with no US parent, the facility is Canadian-owned, and administrative access is held in Canada. A foreign request would have to come through Canadian courts and treaty processes, as it would for files in your own office. This is a description of how we are set up, not legal advice; your counsel should confirm it for your circumstances.
Three is the point at which dedicated hardware, a replacement plan and round-the-clock operation can be offered at a fixed price well under cloud rates. Teams smaller than about 60 people are usually better served by a Canadian software vendor or IT provider running on Sovrakeep capacity, and we can introduce you to one.
Because the price reflects it. A 72-month lease starts at the lowest rate, drops 20% at month 37, and can include a right to refresh to newer hardware at month 36 or to exit after it. You choose how much of that flexibility to buy.
Any open-weight model your security team approves, such as the Llama, Mistral and Gemma families and their fine-tuned derivatives, plus your own fine-tunes. We commission the first deployment with you and hand you administrative control.
At commissioning we set up two things on your servers: a private API that your IT team or software vendor can build on, and a web chat interface with search across the documents you load into it. Your people sign in through your existing single sign-on where it uses a standard protocol. We install and maintain that base software; your IT team decides who has access. Nothing either of them handles leaves your servers.
Yes. A Proof Month runs your own documents and workloads for 30 days on a dedicated server in a Canadian-owned facility, with the same software you would get at commissioning. It is priced at our cost plus a fixed margin, quoted with your sizing, and credited in full against your agreement if you sign within 60 days. Write to hello@sovrakeep.com with "Proof Month" in the subject line.
They are strong options, especially at large scale and on the newest chips. What their published offers do not describe is what we lead with: the choice to own the servers outright, terms up to 72 months with the rate falling 20% from month 37, and published rates per GPU-hour on proven hardware, set side by side with theirs on our comparison page. If one of their platforms meets your requirements, it may be the simpler choice, and we will say so in the capacity review.
Three reasons. We buy proven hardware at a fraction of its new price. You commit to a fixed term, which lets us finance it efficiently and pass the saving through. And once the hardware is paid for, we lower your price instead of keeping the difference. None of the saving comes from sharing your servers with anyone else.
No. This website and its request form are separate from tenant servers and never touch tenant data. Our privacy policy says exactly where the website runs and who processes a request you send us.
No sales call unless you want one. The reply is a one-page term summary you can take to your partners or your board. Your calculator settings above are sent with the request.
Sovrakeep is a small Canadian company on purpose: based in Calgary, Alberta, and run by its founder, Arthur Kostaras, CPA, CMA, a four-time CFO and two-time CEO who has structured more than $705 million of specialty finance and lending and builds AI products for finance and professional firms, with no outsourced desk or reseller between you and the founder. About the founder · Security · How we compare.
Prices are quoted in US dollars because the hardware and the comparators are priced in US dollars; Canadian-dollar invoicing at a rate fixed for the term is available and priced in your term summary.
