// Why we exist
Infrastructure should be a foundation, not a trap.
We started on the operator side of the screen, close to the hardware, the code and the people depending on both. That shaped a simple position: teams should be able to understand, move and improve the systems they run.
01 / The story
From Montréal roots to open infrastructure around the world.
The technology changed. The operating instinct did not: own the outcome, learn from production, and keep the infrastructure open.
- 01
2006 / Origin
Start close to the machines.
VEXXHOST begins in Montréal as a hosting company. Running the hardware ourselves builds a practical understanding of reliability, performance and long-term operations.
- 02
2011 / Open cloud
Choose an open control plane.
We adopt OpenStack as software we can inspect, operate and improve, not a black box. Using it in production leads naturally to contributing fixes upstream.
- 03
2015 → / Open infrastructure expands
Broaden the open infrastructure.
Ceph moves into production in 2015 for durable data. Kubernetes follows in 2018 for workloads and orchestration. Each adds a distinct capability our engineers can deploy and operate in production.
- 04
Today / Production
Bring open infrastructure and AI into the real world.
Today we help organizations design, deploy and operate cloud, cloud-native and AI systems as distinct products, supported by engineers who work with them in production and contribute upstream.
02 / Recognition & Results
Recognized by the community. Recommended by customers.
Awards matter, but so do the results customers are willing to share and the communities we continue to support.
OpenInfra Recognition
2019 Superuser Award Winner
Recognized by the OpenInfra community for operating OpenStack at scale and contributing to the project since its early releases.
Global Community
Sponsors And Speakers Worldwide

Customer Outcomes
Results Customers Share
Published customer stories include major cost reductions, faster analytics and infrastructure that scales without growing the operations burden.
03 / How We Work
Engineering decisions shaped by production.
The people helping design your architecture understand its upgrade path, operational demands and long-term maintenance.
- 01Designed For Production
- Architecture decisions are tested against real upgrades, incidents, capacity changes, and long-running production environments.
- 02Open By Default
- We prefer the open project over a private fork, so improvements remain portable and the community can carry them forward.
- 03Your Choices Stay Open
- Open APIs and familiar tooling keep customers in control of their infrastructure, their data, and what comes next.
- 04Experience Flows Upstream
- Production exposes the hard bugs. We diagnose them, work with maintainers, and push durable fixes back into the projects we depend on.
04 / Community
Part of the communities moving infrastructure forward.
Our memberships support the foundations behind open infrastructure and connect our engineers to the communities shaping what comes next.
