About Vault Cloud
Vault Cloud operates as an Australian-owned and operated company specializing in secure, sovereign, and hyperscale cloud infrastructure. Founded in 2012 by Rupert Taylor-Price, the company was established to enhance citizens' lives through improved government services, with offices in Canberra and Sydney. Taylor-Price's background includes serving as CEO of JN Solutions, where he developed a SaaS Information Management Platform for the Australian Government, providing him with extensive experience in handling sensitive data.
The company's business model is centered on providing cloud computing solutions specifically for government, defence, and critical infrastructure sectors. Vault Cloud generates revenue through a consumption-based operational expense (OPEX) model, where clients pay for the resources they use monthly, and also offers a capital expenditure (CAPEX) model for clients with stable workloads. Its client base includes federal and state government departments such as the Department of Defence and NSW Government, with which it holds a whole-of-government agreement. Services are often delivered through a network of partners, including system integrators like Fujitsu and Leidos.
Vault Cloud's service portfolio includes a suite of cloud capabilities such as block storage, object storage, compute, and virtual networking, all built on OpenStack architecture. The company distinguishes itself by offering a path for government data classified from PROTECTED to SECRET and TOP SECRET levels. A key milestone was becoming the first cloud service provider to receive certification from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) for classified workloads. The company's infrastructure is hosted exclusively within Australian data centres, ensuring data sovereignty and management by security-cleared Australian citizens. In late 2024, Vault Cloud secured a significant $22.5 million investment from the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) to expand its offerings, including its SECRET Cloud and to develop new capabilities like an AUKUS cloud.
