Sovereignty and Sustainability Statement

Organisations want to know two things about their IT platform: who ultimately controls it, and what it costs the business and the environment to run. This statement sets out where VMease stands on both.

Sovereignty

Ownership and control

VMease Limited is an independent, privately owned company incorporated in Jersey. The majority of its shares are held by its founders, based in Jersey and Ireland, who retain control of the company.

Jurisdiction

• Registered in Jersey and governed by Jersey law, with people based in Jersey, Ireland and Scotland
• No parent company, office or operations in the United States, so not subject to the US CLOUD Act
• Jersey's data protection law is recognised by the European Commission as adequate

Data residency

Customers determine where their virtual machines, storage and workload data reside by choosing the infrastructure and locations in which they deploy VMease. VMease is a software platform, not a hosted cloud service, and does not host customer workloads.

Information about personal data processed by VMease for its own business purposes is provided in our Privacy Policy. Where VMease processes personal data on a customer's behalf during installation, migration, diagnostics or support, the applicable arrangements are set out in our Data Processing Agreement.

Supply chain

• Built on Proxmox VE from Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, Vienna, Austria
• Uses open source components including Linux, KVM, LXC, VyOS and Graphite
• Information about third parties appointed by VMease to process personal data on customers' behalf is available in our Subprocessor List, which supports our Data Processing Agreement.

Operational independence and exit

VMease is built on established open-source virtualisation technologies, including Proxmox VE and KVM.

Customer workloads run on infrastructure controlled by the customer or its chosen provider. The underlying virtual machines and storage are not dependent on VMease's management interface for their continued operation, although VMease-specific management and orchestration capabilities would be unavailable without the platform.

This architecture reduces dependence on proprietary hardware and provides customers with greater flexibility in selecting infrastructure and planning their exit strategy.

Pricing

Licensing is transparent, priced per core in pounds sterling, euro or US dollars. Customers can agree multi-year contracts of two to three years in their chosen currency, with prices fixed for the agreed term, so they can budget without currency-driven price changes.

Sustainability

Extending hardware life

VMease supports deployment on compatible existing server infrastructure, enabling customers to extend the useful life of their hardware where appropriate. This can reduce the need for premature equipment replacement and the associated embodied carbon, cost and electronic waste.

Using less to do more

VMease provides resource visibility, metering and controls that can help customers identify underutilised infrastructure and opportunities for workload consolidation. Where customers can consolidate workloads and reduce the number of active servers, this may lower energy consumption. The platform has no separate proprietary management appliance to power.

Freedom to choose efficient infrastructure

Because there is no hardware lock in, customers and partners can choose the most energy efficient servers and data centres powered by renewable energy, including providers in Europe.

Our own footprint

VMease operates as a small, largely remote software development business, with limited physical office infrastructure. We seek to minimise unnecessary travel and infrastructure consumption, and to consider energy efficiency when selecting the systems and service providers used for our own operations.

Our equipment is hosted in:

• Production systems in UK COLT data centre facilities, which COLT reports were supplied with 100% renewable electricity in 2025, with renewable sources making up 90% of its global energy consumption.
• Our development operations are based in Jersey, where around 95% of electricity is imported from France and comes from low-carbon nuclear and hydroelectric sources.
