AiQwest was founded in 2017 by two engineers who are in the DevOps/infrastructure fields. The main goal is to create a company that can work with customers on building out their applications and hosting them.  

AiQwest partnered with Digital Ignition in February of 2025 to make better use of data center resources.  Through this partnership, the core value is to ensure the customer is getting the best Data Colocation/virtual compute service one can offer.

 
The cloud “promised” much and the leap from on-prem to the public cloud took off.  Over the years, much of the “promises” turned into really high costs from usage.  While the public clouds offer their own products, such as: databases, CDNs, storage, etc it can create a dependency for the customer to use these -sometimes- proprietary products and makes it a little more difficult to migrate off or build agnostic applications.
 

MarqiCloud platform was built using open source products so there is no vendor lock-in.  Everything from databases to storage is 100% open source.

When a customer chooses to use our services, we will work with them from start to <no end>.  We will cater our cloud services to the customer so each build can be unique from previous builds.  This is what we call our “white glove managed services“. This service places an engineer with the customer to listen on what their needs are.  From there, a package can be developed for the customer to approve and the building starts.  We have options to launch your applications in one zone or across zones (as we build them out).

What makes MarqiCloud a little different than other VPS providers is that we offer an Hybrid approach to Cloud and On-Prem.  What this means is as follows:

  • Offering best of class KVM VM’s that are ready to spin-up from templates.
  • Allowing customers who wish to use their own hardware for their applications.  We will accept their hardware and rack/stack into our data center in the same zone as their virtualized environment.  This allows direct communications between physical and virtual all in an isolated network (VPC) that is secured.
  • We allow customers to bring in their own circuit(s) so they can tie their data center into our data centers to allow a private point-to-point communication.
  • Any data center to data center traffic on our infrastructure only uses tier1 providers and traffic is encrypted upon transit.
  • Application builds are done by top software engineers who will build your application to your specifications.  Each application is, by default, built with High Availability in mind.  This includes uses distributed databases, distributed storage, and distributed load balancers.
  • We offer GPU access for AI/ML applications. This set of compute nodes are in their own cluster within our cloud.

The main goal of AiQwest/Digital Ignition is to ensure our customers know they have a partner with them to help them succeed. 

Our location is in the middle of the tech corridor in Alpharetta, GA
