Research
Research computing spans defence research, university HPC and national research programmes. What they share is a need for power, density and resilience that ordinary estates cannot give them.
Why Research organisations choose Crown Hosting
Power and density for research computing
High density deployments supported, with the power availability and grid connections these workloads need.
Sovereign by design
UK owned, UK operated and under UK jurisdiction, for workloads and data that cannot sit anywhere else.
Better rates than the wider market
Framework pricing, with the same assurance given to defence and central government.
The priorities we help you meet
What research organisations tell us matters most, and how Crown Hosting supports it.
AI-enabled government
Government has set out ambitious plans for the UK to lead in AI, digital innovation and advanced computing. Delivering them depends on secure data environments, trusted governance and resilient infrastructure as much as on compute capacity.
Crown Hosting is a fast, government-assured route to AI-ready infrastructure. It supports everything from AI sandboxes and pilot deployments through to nationally significant compute and HPC programmes, without the cost and lead times of building or procuring your own facilities.
Sovereign digital infrastructure
Government is placing more emphasis on sovereignty, supply chain assurance and control over nationally important systems and data. Sovereignty covers operational control, governance, accountability and resilience as well as location.
Crown Hosting provides UK-based infrastructure with trusted operation and clear governance, so you keep control of critical systems and data while meeting your sovereignty, security and resilience requirements.
