Founding cohort
Through August 2026
Founding-customer benefits — early access to the launch cohort, locked early-adopter pricing, and a direct line to engineering.
Pre-launch · Launching mid-2026
Climate positive cloud infrastructure
The world's first cloud network architected to be carbon‑negative. Australian-owned, sovereign IaaS that offsets more CO2 than it consumes — solar-primary, distributed-by-design, and engineered for lower draw per unit of compute.
- Carbon-negative architecture
- Australian owned, sovereign by default
- Self-service — minutes, not procurement cycles

The story
Traditional data centres weren't built for you.
They're built to their parameters, their provisioning queues, their box. Icarus is the legitimate alternative — enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure shaped around your business instead of the other way around.
The old way
- Big bricks-and-mortar behemoths — their parameters, their box
- Provisioning queues and procurement cycles before anything runs
- Carbon-neutral on paper, bought with certificates
- You connect where the network wants you to connect
Our cloud, your way
- A distributed network of data centres — where you need them
- Create an account, configure, deploy — running in minutes
- Carbon-negative by architecture, methodology published
- Australian owned end to end — not a local region of someone else's cloud
Built carbon-negative, not carbon-neutral
The order matters: reduction first, offsets second.
Most "green" providers buy their way to neutrality. Icarus inverts the order — architectural reduction first, verified offsets layered on top of an already low-emission base.
Solar-primary energy
Sized to feed rack load directly during daylight. Battery storage covers peak-shifting. Grid is the secondary source.
Distributed-by-design
Less embodied carbon per teraflop-hour because redundancy is shared across sites, not stacked into one building.
Verified offset stack
Sized to take the network past zero into negative territory by a defended margin. Methodology published in full — third-party certification on the roadmap.
Four pillars, one product
Infrastructure-as-a-Service, built for Australian business.
Carbon-negative footprint. Fault-tolerant by design. Hidden facilities. Self-service speed. The four pillars apply to every account, every VM.
Pillar 01
Carbon-negative footprint
Architectural reduction plus a verified offset stack — net-negative emissions on the customer's ESG balance sheet, methodology published on every climate claim.
Pillar 02
Fault-tolerant by design
N+N redundancy at every layer — power, network, hypervisor, cooling. Automated failover. No single domain takes the network with it.
Pillar 03
Hidden facilities
Physical security at the level required by government and regulated workloads. Locations are not public — by design.
Pillar 04
Self-service speed
Create an account, configure a VM, deploy. VMs in minutes, not days. No procurement bottleneck. No contract negotiation.
Built for where you are
One network. Three ways in.
From a single VM to sovereign government scale — same infrastructure, same certification track, same climate outcome. Start where you are; the network scales when you do.
For your business
One VM that just works
A single instance for the job at hand — created with a card, running in minutes, no minimum commitment. Self-service end to end.
For growing teams
Infrastructure that scales with you
Teams of 5 to 50 running mixed workloads — a handful of VMs, load balancing, room to grow. Enterprise-grade capability without hyperscaler friction. This is where Icarus earns its keep.
For government & enterprise
Sovereign scale, audit-ready posture
Twenty-five VMs and beyond on Australian-owned infrastructure — ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified at launch, fault-tolerant, and deployable where your operations are.
Data centres where you need them
Seven points of presence, one sovereign network.
Sydney AZ-1 launches first. Sydney AZ-2, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Darwin follow on a phased build — distributed-by-design from day one, not retrofitted as the network grows.
Sovereignty is the default, not an upgrade. Every byte of customer data lives inside an Australian facility unless you explicitly elect otherwise — and at launch, no such election is offered.
Why us
Where Icarus sits.
Plot the market on the two axes that actually cost you money — what the infrastructure does to your carbon account, and how much of your business you have to bend around it.
The giants scale; they don't flex. The traditional players flex a little; they don't decarbonise. Icarus is built to hold the top-right corner: removes more carbon than it emits, shaped around where you operate.
For the board, that translates simply: ESG numbers you can defend, and infrastructure spend that buys time back instead of process.
One product. Unmanaged IaaS.
You bring the OS. We bring the rest — and the carbon-negative outcome.
Self-service cloud servers, customer-managed end-to-end. Single transparent pricing — AUD, GST-inclusive, no lock-in. No co-location. No managed services. The constraint is deliberate: one product, done well, at launch.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
01
When does Icarus go live?
Mid-2026. Account creation is open now and queues into the launch cohort — provisioning unlocks the day the network goes live.
02
Why "carbon-negative", not "carbon-neutral"?
Because the architecture reduces emissions at the source — solar-primary, distributed-by-design — and verified offsets sit on top of an already low-emission base, taking the network past zero.
03
Where does the data sit?
Australia, by default. Sovereignty is the posture, not an upgrade. Cross-border replication is not offered at launch.
04
What product is at launch?
Unmanaged Infrastructure-as-a-Service — ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified at launch. One product, single transparent pricing, self-service. No co-location, no managed services at launch.
