Managed open source private cloud: The answer to regaining control and convenience in your datacenter
In this keynote, discover how managed open source private cloud combines the control of your own infrastructure with the convenience of public cloud. Learn how to maximize datacenter ownership while freeing your teams to focus on business value, not platform management.
Escape licensing dependency and financial uncertainty
Transition from unpredictable VMware costs to a stable, open source foundation that gives you complete budget transparency and control.
Focus on business value, not infrastructure
Let your best engineers work on what drives business value while we handle the complete platform management 24/7.
Maintain ownership and flexibility
You own the hardware and datacenter while getting managed services, with the freedom to change direction when needed.
Escape the complexity trap: managed infrastructure that actually works
Open source private cloud sounds great in theory, but the reality is complex. Multiple foundations, different products that need to work together 24/7, the technical complexity often becomes a problem for internal IT departments.
This keynote shows how Managed Services solve the complexity challenge while giving you the same public cloud convenience in your own datacenter, so your best engineers can focus on business value instead of infrastructure headaches.
Learn how to get all the benefits of open source without the operational burden that comes with it.

Regain control without giving up convenience
Managing a private cloud should not mean choosing between control and usability. With a managed open source private cloud, you remain fully in charge while simplifying daily operations and reducing vendor dependency.
- Gain full visibility and ownership of your infrastructure, from hardware to workloads
- Offload complexity such as lifecycle management, monitoring and support to a trusted expert
- Deliver the flexibility and ease of use your teams expect without handing over control
