Your cloud.
Your data.
Your exit.
Private cloud, bare metal and AI infrastructure built on unmodified open source — OpenStack, Proxmox, Ceph, Kubernetes. Deployed in the region you choose. No proprietary control plane, no surprise bills, and a documented way out if you ever want one.
Three ways infrastructure decisions go wrong
Bills that compound.
Egress charges, per-service pricing, and a monthly total that grows faster than the thing you're actually running. By the time it's a board-level problem, you've built around it.
Data in the wrong jurisdiction.
Workloads sitting somewhere your regulator, your customers, or your contracts didn't agree to. Fixing it later means moving production.
“Open source” that still traps you.
Plenty of providers run open source and wrap it in a proprietary control plane. The software is open. The exit is not. You find out which when you try to leave.
Four ways to start
What each one actually looks like, drawn from the schematics on the product pages.
Private Cloud
Dedicated OpenStack or Proxmox environments. Your own control plane, full root access, standard APIs.
Private Cloud →Bare Metal
Single-tenant physical servers. Run any hypervisor, any OS, or nothing at all.
Bare Metal →AI Infrastructure
Dedicated GPUs, managed inference, and advisory that will tell you what not to build.
AI Infrastructure →Managed Services
We design, deploy and operate open infrastructure — including VMware migration with a cutover measured in minutes.
Managed Services →Infrastructure is a long commitment. Keep your options open.
Vendor-independent by design
Upstream OpenStack, Proxmox, Ceph and Kubernetes, unmodified. No Racktrail-specific APIs, no portal you can only automate from. Your Terraform and Ansible work here, and they'll work wherever you go next.
Deployed where you need it
Our regions or your own facility. Residency, latency and compliance requirements decide where your workload runs.
The right stack for the workload
OpenStack when you need a cloud. Proxmox when you need straightforward virtualisation. Ceph when you need durable storage at scale. We'll also tell you when none of them is the right answer.
Predictable economics
Fixed monthly cost, quoted up front. No per-API-call billing, no egress surprises, and no line items you have to reverse-engineer.
Renewal quote from Broadcom?
We migrate VMware estates to OpenStack or Proxmox with continuous replication and a per-VM cutover measured in minutes. Rollback stays available until you sign off.
Notes from running this in production
Migration write-ups, cost breakdowns, benchmarks, and the occasional postmortem.
Five places new GPU clouds struggle, and what to do about each
Utilization, failing GPUs, tenant isolation, metering and enterprise trust: where new GPU clouds struggle, with public data and what to fix first.

How CERN, Jetstream2 and Cambridge's Dawn run GPUs on OpenStack: passthrough, vGPU, MIG and bare metal compared, with a reference architecture and pitfalls.
Leaving VMware: what to settle before you choose where to go
Six things to settle before choosing a VMware replacement, from your renewal date to who will run it. Each one cuts the shortlist before you evaluate anything.
