Dedicated Hardware
Bare-metal servers, primarily in German data centres. No shared tenancy, no noisy neighbours.
Predictable Costs, Unlimited Egress
Flat monthly rate. Hardware, Kubernetes, observability, and SRE time, all included.
Move the slider to see what your budget buys.
Engagements start at €5,000/month. No maximum. Pricing is illustrative. We size each cluster to your workload profile.
Comparison assumes equivalent on-demand infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure,
excluding egress fees and managed service surcharges.
Egress is unlimited under applicable fair use policy. Dedicated 10G/100G transit available.
What's included Every plan includes infrastructure, operations, and engineering time
Embedded SRE Time
No separate consulting fee. SRE time is built into the same price as your hardware and management.
Full Observability Stack
Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and Alertmanager. Dashboards and alerts included from day one.
EU Data Sovereignty
Data processed and stored in Germany by default, on hardware we control. No US hyperscaler, no CLOUD Act ambiguity.
How to explain this to your CFO You know the technical case. Here is the business case for the conversation with your budget holder.
| CFO concern | How we address it | Bottom-line impact |
|---|---|---|
| "Our cloud bill is unpredictable" | Flat monthly rate. No usage metering, no egress fees | One budget line you can forecast 12 months out |
| "We can't find or keep DevOps engineers" | SRE team included. No separate consulting fee | Infrastructure expertise without a full-time hire: no recruitment, no onboarding, no churn risk |
| "Performance issues eat developer time" | Dedicated bare metal, private network. No shared tenancy | Your developers ship product instead of debugging infrastructure |
| "What happens if we want to leave?" | Standard Kubernetes. No proprietary services or APIs | Workloads move to any Kubernetes provider. No exit penalty |
| "How does cost scale as we grow?" | Linear. More hardware, proportionally more spend. No egress curves or tier cliffs | Finance can model next year's infrastructure cost in a spreadsheet |
| "What does migration actually cost us?" | We handle the migration. Billing starts when workloads are running, not when hardware is provisioned | Phased rollout minimises overlap. No big-bang migration risk |
What Our Customers Say
"I tell people we moved off AWS, but that doesn't really capture it. We got a team that built us custom tooling, migrated our databases, deployed a private network, and responds on Slack within hours. AWS doesn't offer that at any price."
~ Tim McEwan, CTO, The Climate Risk Group
"We couldn't find anyone else offering the combination of engineering time, on-call SLA, and infrastructure that Lithus
provides. Instead of just migrating our infrastructure, they solved problems we'd been
struggling with for months, without us having to hire additional staff."
~ Keith Brink, Founder, PrepBusiness
"Small configuration changes on AWS lead to them charging you orders of magnitude more money. That's not going to happen on bare metal."
~ Sohum Banerjea, Senior Architect, The Climate Risk Group
"Our latencies halved when we moved to Lithus, and our costs haven't changed in two years. We don't think about infrastructure anymore."
~ Toby Hammond, CEO, Futurepump
"Having Lithus onboard has been invaluable.
Their expertise and flexibility have given us the ability to
tackle increasingly complex projects without having to
hire. We punch above our weight, in no small part because of Lithus."
~ Samson Sahmland-Bowling, CEO, Open Energy Labs
