Sovereign Cloud Built for
Government Workloads

mCloud is Micron21’s next generation cloud platform, offering Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud solutions with scalable compute, storage, and networking. Our mCloud platform provides a highly secure and sovereign cloud solution, operating from Australia's only sovereign commercial Tier IV facility.

Introduction

Rising Costs and Vendor Lock-In

Government agencies face growing pressure to modernise while keeping costs and compliance in check. Yet many remain tied to overseas cloud providers with rigid contracts, high fees, and unpredictable pricing. These closed systems often limit flexibility and fail to meet Australia’s strict data sovereignty and security standards.

When Cloud Creates New Barriers

Instead of simplifying operations, cloud platforms can add complexity. Unpredictable bills make budgeting difficult, while clunky management tools slow projects. Licensing changes or policy shifts can disrupt essential services with little warning. And when issues arise, agencies often rely on offshore support that doesn’t fully understand Australian regulations or urgency.

Micron21’s Government-Ready Cloud

mCloud eliminates these challenges with a secure, sovereign, and cost-effective cloud platform built for Australian government needs. Powered by open-source technologies, it gives agencies full control over data, infrastructure, and costs without vendor lock-in. Hosted in Micron21’s Tier IV data centre and supported 24/7 by Australian engineers, mCloud delivers uptime, compliance, and transparency.
