OChK Platform Features a Free Try & Buy Test Service

OChK has launched Try & Buy—a service that allows companies to test the OChK Platform for free and with no obligations before making any business decision. For 72 hours, users gain access to an isolated environment with physical servers, allowing them to independently spin up resources and hands-on test the OChK Platform console and cloud management mechanisms.

72 Hours for a Hands-On Trial

Selecting a cloud platform is a critical decision that impacts IT architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure management workflows, and future scalability. The Try & Buy evaluation service enables organizations to test the OChK Platform independently before making a commitment and assess whether it meets their enterprise needs.

As part of the service, users receive 72-hour access to an isolated cloud environment with physical servers. They can provision resources on their own, explore the management console and infrastructure control tools, and leverage OpenStack along with API and user interfaces (UI). Once the trial period ends, access automatically expires, allowing the company to evaluate next steps. The service is completely free of charge and carries no purchase obligation.

A Tailored Alternative for Companies’ Today’s Needs

Try & Buy offers a firsthand look at the OChK Platform as a viable cloud alternative to both legacy on-premises infrastructure and hyperscaler public cloud providers. The platform supports building public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, enabling organizations to tailor infrastructure to their specific operational needs—ranging from high-performance computing and data security requirements to strict regulatory compliance.

This flexibility goes hand in hand with enhanced environment control. The OChK Platform is a Polish digitally sovereign cloud built and operated by a local engineering team. All data residency and processing remain strictly within Poland, ensuring that operations and technology fall under Polish and EU jurisdiction. Organizations can also leverage a physically isolated private cloud, while the use of open-source cloud technology like OpenStack mitigates vendor lock-in risks.

Greater infrastructure control is equally vital for business continuity. The OChK Platform operates out of two independent, highly secure data centers in Poland, enabling robust Disaster Recovery mechanisms in case of outages. It can also serve as a secondary backup data center for workloads running in third-party environments.

From Trial to Target Cloud Environment

Try & Buy serves as the first step in evaluating the capabilities of the OChK Platform, whereas the target production environment is engineered around specific enterprise use cases. If a business chooses to proceed after the trial, OChK experts collaborate directly with the client to define business and technical requirements, followed by architecting the optimal cloud deployment model and configuration.

"Companies considering the OChK Platform often want to test resource provisioning, and see firsthand how our cloud solution performs in practice before making a final decision. Try & Buy gives them that exact opportunity—72 hours of hands-on access to an isolated cloud environment, completely free and with no commitment. This allows them to evaluate the platform independently and determine if it fits their operational requirements. If they choose to take the next step after testing, we co-design a target cloud environment tailored to their specific technical and business needs," says Katarzyna Drabik, Head of Product Development at OChK.
