Regions & Data Centers
Distinct geographic locations, each backed by a dedicated data center, for deploying resources with redundancy.
Hyperstack enables users to deploy compute resources across geographically distributed regions, each anchored by a dedicated, enterprise-grade data center. This guide provides an overview of commonly used regions, their sustainability and networking capabilities, and the underlying data center infrastructure, including certifications, performance specs, and high-speed networking availability for compatible resources.
Hyperstack Regions
What is a Region?
A region in Hyperstack represents a distinct geographic location backed by a dedicated data center, allowing you to deploy resources across isolated sites for improved redundancy and resilience. This isolation ensures that issues like power outages or network failures in one region do not affect others. Within each region, you can create environments to organize your resources.
Hyperstack provides multiple regions (e.g., CANADA-1, NORWAY-1, US-1), each corresponding to a dedicated data center located in the country reflected in its name.
Region Comparison Table
| Region Name | Data Center Location | Green Status | High-Speed Networking |
|---|---|---|---|
| NORWAY-1 | Vestland, Norway |  Sustainably Powered Region | Not Available |
| CANADA-1 | Quebec, Canada | Sustainably Powered Region | Available* |
| US-1 | Texas, United States | Standard Energy Region | Available* |
Regions that operate on 100% sustainable energy are marked with a icon.
Additional regions may be visible in the Hyperstack UI or returned by the API. Access to deploy resources in these regions depends on your account configuration.
High-speed networking using SR-IOV is supported only for VMs and Kubernetes clusters deployed with compatible flavors in network-optimized environments within the CANADA-1 and US-1 regions. See the list of supported flavors.
Flavor availability depends on the region. See flavor configurations by GPU model and use the region filter to check availability by region.
Region Features
Region features determine which capabilities are available in a region in Hyperstack, and therefore which resource actions are permitted within that region.
The List Regions API returns these feature flags via the features object on each region.
The following region features are currently available:
Volumes
Enables or disables volume functionality in a region.
This capability is exposed via the volumes field in the List Regions API response.
true→ You can create volumes and attach them to virtual machines.false→ All volume-related operations are unavailable, including creating and attaching volumes, and creating virtual machines from bootable volumes.
Public IP Addresses
Enables or disables public IP address functionality in a region.
This capability is exposed via the floating_ip field in the List Regions API response.
true→ You can assign (attach) and remove (detach) public IP addresses to and from virtual machines.false→ All public IP-related operations are unavailable, including attaching and detaching public IP addresses.
Hyperstack Data Centers
Certifications & Reliability
Hyperstack prioritizes the security and reliability of its infrastructure by housing data in Tier 3 certified data centers. These centers follow strict guidelines for power redundancy, cooling, and backup systems. They are concurrently maintainable, enabling upgrades and maintenance without service disruption and ensuring 99.982% annual uptime.
NexGen Cloud has also achieved SOC 2 Type 2, an independent audit of its security controls. Type 2 is the stronger of the two report types: it tests controls for operating effectiveness over a period of time, not just at a point in time. The audit covers the controls that protect your data, including access management, change management, system monitoring, and incident response.
Networking Capabilities
Resources deployed in CANADA-1 and US-1 regions benefit from advanced inter-VM networking capabilities supported by underlying data center SR-IOV technology:
- Standard networking in these regions supports up to 125 Gbps of inter-VM bandwidth for network-optimized flavors.
- When deployed in SR-IOV-enabled environments, compatible flavors can achieve up to 350 Gbps of inter-VM bandwidth. See the list of SR-IOV compatible flavors, here.
