Private cloud
Cloud convenience on hardware reserved just for you
We build turnkey private clouds on Apache CloudStack, SUSE Virtualization with Rancher, or a Proxmox VE cluster.

What a private cloud is, and what it takes to run one
Dedicated servers reserved exclusively for you, in the class and quantity your workload needs. We build the storage layer – local NVMe, replicated volumes, or distributed Ceph – and add network redundancy, firewalling, and load balancing where needed.
This is where a cluster becomes a cloud. Apache CloudStack turns your servers into full IaaS with a self-service portal. SUSE Virtualization with Rancher runs VMs and Kubernetes side by side. Proxmox VE adds Proxmox Datacenter Manager as one panel for all nodes.
A cloud without tested recovery is a liability. Proxmox-based clouds get Proxmox Backup Server – incremental, deduplicated, verified backups. NAKIVO covers full-server backups. For individual VMs, databases, and services we select and configure tools per task.
The whole environment is manageable as code – Terraform and Ansible work against the platform API from day one. Prometheus and Grafana cover metrics and dashboards, Zabbix watches the hardware, and alerting reaches your team before users notice anything.
Everything you expect from a cloud
-
Deploy virtual machines
Read more Read lessCreate, resize, and remove VMs in any configuration and OS – from the portal, the CLI, or the API, in minutes.
-
Manage storage
Read more Read lessAllocate block, file, or object storage, attach it to the right VMs, restrict access, replicate, and resize as projects evolve.
-
Shape the network
Read more Read lessBuild virtual networks, subnets, firewalls, and load balancers that mirror your project architecture – isolation included.
-
Back up and recover
Read more Read lessAutomated backup schedules and rehearsed recovery keep your services running and your data restorable.
-
Run containers and Kubernetes
Read more Read lessLaunch containerized workloads and full Kubernetes clusters on the same platform that runs your VMs.
-
Operate databases
Read more Read lessDeploy and manage SQL and NoSQL databases on prepared environments instead of hand-built infrastructure.
-
Automate delivery
Read more Read lessRun CI/CD pipelines inside your own cloud – builds, tests, and deployments never leave your perimeter.
-
Manage everything as code
Read more Read lessDescribe the whole environment in Terraform and Ansible – reviewable, repeatable, and version-controlled.
-
Choose your interface
Read more Read lessA clean web UI for daily work, a CLI for operators, and a REST API for everything you want to automate.
-
See what is happening
Read more Read lessMetrics, logs, and alerts through Prometheus, Grafana, and Zabbix – tuned during handover, not left as an exercise.
-
Control who does what
Read more Read lessRole-based access control maps your org structure onto the cloud – teams see and touch only their own resources.
-
Encrypt by default
Read more Read lessData is protected at rest and in transit, on disks that no other customer ever shares.
Who gets the most out of a private cloud
- Companies with strict compliance and security requirements
- Teams running high-performance or latency-sensitive workloads
- Organizations with predictable, high-volume workloads overpaying in public cloud
- Businesses with data privacy and sovereignty obligations
- IT teams that want cloud workflows without cloud lock-in
What we offer
-
IaaS platform
Apache CloudStack, SUSE Virtualization with Rancher, or a Proxmox VE cluster – chosen to match your workloads and your team's experience.
-
Custom infrastructure sizing
From a compact two-node setup to a rack of high-performance machines – sized against real workload requirements, not templates.
-
Fault tolerance level
From a lean configuration where cost matters most to a fully redundant cluster where uptime does.
-
Storage layout
Local, replicated, or distributed – balanced between performance, capacity, and how much failure the storage must absorb.
-
Network topology
VLANs, VPN access, and public IP allocation – segmented to mirror your project architecture.
-
Platform modules and integrations
Additional components supported by the chosen platform – installed and configured as part of the delivery.
FAQ
-
How long does it take to set up a private cloud?
It depends on the complexity. A compact configuration on one or two servers is ready within 72 hours of the servers being provisioned. Larger designs – multi-node clusters, distributed storage, custom integrations – take longer, and we give you a realistic timeline during planning.
-
In which locations can you build a private cloud?
Our primary locations for private cloud deployments are the Netherlands and Germany. Other locations where we offer dedicated servers are available on request – feasibility depends on the complexity of the project, and we confirm it during planning.
-
Who manages the private cloud after delivery?
Your choice. We offer full management, where our engineers run the whole environment, and partial management, where your team operates the cloud and we step in for troubleshooting, updates, and upgrades within the data center. You can change the model as your team grows.
-
How is software licensing handled?
We steer projects toward open-source platforms – Apache CloudStack, SUSE Virtualization, Proxmox VE – which run without license purchases. Optional vendor subscriptions for enterprise support are available, and if your project includes commercial software, those licenses remain on your side.
-
Is there a minimum contract period?
The minimum rental period matches the minimum server rental period – one calendar month. No long-term commitment is required to start. That said, building a private cloud is an investment in design and setup that pays off over time – we recommend planning for a horizon of three months or longer.
-
Can the private cloud grow after launch?
Yes – that is the point of the design. New servers join the cluster, storage expands with additional disks or nodes, and the platform absorbs the capacity without downtime or re-platforming.
