## Overview

OneQode Cloud (OCS) is a high-performance cloud platform served over OneQode's low-latency [global network](https://www.oneqode.com/network).

With OCS, you can host and deliver games, real-time applications and compute-intensive services to users across three continents.

### What makes OneQode Cloud different?

* **High-performance**\
  All CPUs on our cloud platform operate at 3.7 GHz or greater, giving you more power to run game servers and compute-intensive workloads
* **Dedicated threads**\
  Each vCPU represents a dedicated CPU thread, exclusive to you and not shared with other customers.
* **Latency-optimized network**\
  Your traffic is served over the OneQode network, built from the ground-up for gaming and real-time applications.
* **OpenStack powered**\
  Built on an open-source foundation, our platform is broadly interoperable with existing DevOps toolkits, and brings with it a wide ecosystem of developers, documentation and projects.
