Build on managed OpenStack

VM2Cloud delivers production OpenStack as a managed service: private and sovereign cloud regions, Ceph-backed storage, and Kubernetes-ready networking, with enterprise SLAs and UK data residency for public-sector workloads.

Managed OpenStack

Production OpenStack clusters — compute, networking, and identity — deployed and operated for you, with enterprise SLAs and 24×7 support.

Ceph storage

Resilient, self-healing block and object storage. Scale capacity and throughput independently without re-architecting workloads.

Kubernetes-ready

CNI-integrated networking and storage classes so managed Kubernetes runs on the same tenancy as your VMs.

Sovereign & compliant

UK-hosted regions and data residency for regulated and public-sector workloads.
