Let staff manage their own machines, not the IT queue
Flomation lets public sector employees provision, reboot and reprovision the dedicated virtual machines their role needs, inside the guardrails you define. Fewer tickets for IT, and less idle infrastructure to pay for.

Watch Self Start in action
See an employee provision, reboot and reprovision their own dedicated VM from start to finish, without raising a single ticket.
Every machine is a ticket, and a standing cost
Getting or resetting a VM means waiting on an over-stretched IT team, while always-on, over-provisioned machines quietly rack up cost on the books.
- Provisioning queues. Staff wait days for a machine IT could hand over in minutes.
- Idle CapEx. VMs sit powered-on and over-specced because nobody owns turning them off.
- Repetitive toil. Reboots, rebuilds and re-provisions eat senior engineers' time.
- No guardrails. Ad-hoc requests bypass policy, sizing and approval rules.
Self-service machines, on your terms
Give employees a simple way to manage their own VMs, while IT keeps control of policy, cost and security.
Self-service within guardrails
Staff request, reboot or reprovision their VM from a simple form. Flomation enforces role, size and approval rules automatically.
Runs in your infrastructure
Self-host the runner so it drives your own VM platform and nothing leaves your environment. Built for public sector data sovereignty.
Cuts idle cost automatically
Power down idle machines on a schedule, right-size on reprovision and decommission on leave. Standing CapEx becomes on-demand spend.
What Self Start looks like in Flomation
An employee reprovisions their machine, and it is approved, built and handed over automatically.

Less IT workload, lower CapEx
Our team used to spend half its week building and rebooting machines for people. Now staff do it themselves in minutes, inside the rules we set, and we have powered down a rack of idle VMs.
Take the provisioning queue off IT's plate
Give your people safe, self-service control of their own machines, and turn standing VM costs into on-demand spend. Self-host in minutes.
