Our Approach to Engineering

A typical VDI provider will purchase off-the-shelf servers or workstations, cram a bunch of virtual machines onto them, and place them in a data centre. Whilst this is fine for some use cases, when you start to scale the service or use more demanding application, the platform's users start to face significant barriers and bottlenecks.
You'll experience CPU, GPU and disk contention.
Your costs will be significantly more than a regular computer or workstation.
And you will inefficiently utilise data centre space, resulting in poor-cost optimisations and a difficultly adding more nodes efficiently.
Computle took a different approach from day one.
At the outset of Computle's foundation, Jake engineered his own hardware, placing an emphasis on dedicated, single-user servers/workstations. We are now on revision four of our hardware, and currently operate Computle from a series of blade workstations, each equipped with:
A dedicated CPU;
A dedidicated GPU;
And a dedicated NVMe and RAM modules.
Because of this, each Computle seat delivers unparalleled performance compared to VDIs, with each seat/user having dedicated access to an entire blade workstation. What's more, each Computle blade costs around half the price of off-the-shelf hardware, enabling us to pass on significant cost savings to our customers.
