AceCloud is an Indian cloud provider delivering GPU-accelerated infrastructure, Kubernetes, compute, storage, and managed databases for AI and production workloads, with up to 60% lower costs than hyperscalers and full data sovereignty under Indian law.
What is AceCloud?
AceCloud is a sovereign cloud platform built on India-hosted data centers, offering a full stack of infrastructure services including cloud GPU (NVIDIA), virtual machines (AMD/Intel), managed Kubernetes, S3-compatible object storage, and managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ). It takes existing applications and workloads as input and provides scalable compute, storage, and orchestration as output, running on its own infrastructure across 3 data centers in India. The service is operated by AceCloud (a brand of RTDS), with over 15 years of experience and 600 domain experts.
