Provenance‑first private cloud
With full in‑house hardware and software design, we set new benchmarks in performance, security, and efficiency—providing enterprise-grade private and edge cloud platforms you can trust.

SoftIron was born from an environment where failure isn’t an option—deep beneath the ocean’s surface, our founders learned that high performance, low power, and absolute dependability are non‑negotiable when lives hang in the balance. In 2012, Norman Fraser, Phil Straw, and Mark Chen harnessed that relentless rigor to create a new kind of data infrastructure company—one that would eliminate legacy complexity and deliver an undeniably superior, end‑to‑end platform for modern IT.

At SoftIron, specialization drives breakthroughs. Unlike traditional vendors who assemble off‑the‑shelf components, we control every aspect of design, firmware, and manufacturing in‑house. This integrated approach yields unparalleled levels of performance, efficiency, and security. Our purpose‑built nodes—compute, storage, GPU, and FPGA—are optimized for their specific roles, enabling stateless operations, independent scaling, and sub‑rack‑to‑production deployments in under four hours.

Central to our promise is auditable provenance: the only private‑cloud manufacturer to offer verifiable, end‑to‑end traceability from silicon to software. Coupled with FIPS‑validated, post‑quantum encryption and zero‑trust principles, SoftIron platforms meet the strictest security and compliance mandates—whether on‑premises, at the edge, or in air‑gapped environments.

Our flagship solution, HyperCloud, transforms data centers by reducing rack space, cutting energy consumption, and delivering hyperscale‑class automation without hyperscale budgets. VM Squared extends those benefits to any x86 environment, simplifying virtualization and slashing time‑to‑value.

SoftIron’s mission remains clear: empower organizations with cloud‑native simplicity and enterprise control—so you can focus on innovation, not infrastructure.
