You can use very specific hardware in terms of specs as long as it makes sense for you. We can leverage your existing hardware and build your servers hyper-converged if it serves your computing and storage needs and budget.

Multi-architecture
available

We offer full architecture of the cloud-based on all your business requirements, through the availability of Intel x86 and Arm 64-bit architecture, in addition to the option of NVIDIA accelerators for our enterprise-grade GPUs.

Have it hosted or
on-premise

Host your private cloud within our highly secured data center, enabling a cost-effective deployment.
Or, have it on-premise, providing you with more flexibility and suitability for any business that faces regulatory control.

Dedicated Compute & Storage Nodes

Runs On Kubernetes

Get The Latest OpenStack Release

Get dedicated compute and storage nodes. Unlike hyperconverged infrastructure, which bundles the nodes into one server, dedicated nodes are found in isolated environments to ensure the best performance and control.

Our private clouds are deployed, scaled, and updated on Kubernetes, which is certified by the CNCF. Combining Kubernetes and containers makes it easy to run and scale applications as well as complete updates without any downtime.

Our private clouds are always running on the latest OpenStack release to ensure that our clients are benefiting from all that the open source community has to offer. Today, our private clouds are running the 22nd release—Victoria.

Private Cloud FAQs

Hosted vs. On-Premise

When making your cloud computing decision, it is essential that you figure out where your priorities lie. Hosted private clouds utilize offshore data centres; therefore, you will get cloud servers from our data centres. As a result, you will be able to focus on more pressing business matters rather than on managing the infrastructure. Private clouds, on the other hand, provide you with more control over all of the processes as you will be in charge of hosting the cloud environment. However, it comes with more responsibility.

Proprietary vs. Open Source Private Clouds

With proprietary solutions, the code is not available to the public; therefore, while there is a greater sense of security, there is also a lack of growth, flexibility, and customization opportunities. Open source solutions, on the other hand, are collaborative projects since the code is public. This way, there are constant updates and upgrades, ensuring that the software meets current demands. You also won’t have to worry about licensing fees or getting locked-in by a vendor. We offer private cloud services on the open-source cloud platform OpenStack, which we have ample experience in; therefore, we can provide you with a dependable, fully managed solution.

Are private clouds secure?

Your applications and information, among many other things, are stored in software and hardware specific to your firm, ensuring a secure environment. Our cloud infrastructure is also customizable; that way, you can establish the level of security. For example, with bare metal, you can deploy the strongest server type to overcome any “noisy neighbors.” Additionally, virtual machines are easy to test for security protocol compliance; as a result, the level of security is high despite the open environment.

Do private clouds scale well?

While you have your own designated servers, should your traffic exceed the typical amount, we can add nodes from the cloud pool to accommodate those demands. This is also made possible through our dedicated load balancers. Therefore, you can make sure that you always offer consistent service to your customers.
