Who can benefit?

The initiative targets students, researchers, and academic teams running high-performance computing workloads, such as AI model training, deep learning, and data-intensive simulations.

Selected institutions receive cloud credits to use across Cloudzy's infrastructure, which features AMD EPYC processors for parallel processing, high-speed NVMe SSDs for fast data throughput, and dedicated 40 Gbps network connections. This level of bandwidth and compute power is built to handle large-scale datasets, reduce latency, and ensure stable performance during complex, high-demand tasks.

In addition to free credits, the program grants access to dedicated IPv4 addresses for secure network management, GPU-powered instances optimized for machine learning and AI inference, and a network of Tier-3 data centers in Sydney, Singapore, Switzerland, Dubai, and the US. This infrastructure enables low-latency cross-region operations and enables compliance with data residency requirements.

Cloudzy already has alliances with universities and research organizations, so this isn’t a cold launch — it’s an expansion of the infrastructure support the company has been building into its university relationships for some time.

What about individual researchers?

If you're a solo student, independent researcher, or solo builder who doesn't qualify for the institutional program, Cloudzy also offers annual VPS plans with discounts of up to 50%. It's a more affordable path to long-term hosting without sacrificing performance.
