Our technologies
We engineer and maintain reliable private cloud environments based on the strongest open source technologies. By combining proven platforms with our team’s decades of hands-on experience, we deliver cloud infrastructure that is secure, scalable and fully under your control.
Discover the key technologies and methods we use in our private cloud offerings, tools that form the foundation of sovereign, future-proof infrastructure.
Why open source?
Open source software is built on transparency, community and long-term independence. Unlike proprietary solutions, open source software gives you full access to the source code, the right to modify and redistribute it, and the assurance that your cloud platform won’t suddenly be impacted by licensing shifts or corporate changes.
With open source, your software remains yours. You use it on your own terms, free from vendor lock-in. In a time of changing regulations and global dependencies on a few major cloud vendors, open source is the best path to ensure digital autonomy.
Open source cloud platforms we use
- Ceph for software-defined storage
- OpenStack for virtual machines and bare metal compute
- Kubernetes for container orchestration
All three are backed by the Linux Foundation and their respective communities. This makes them stable, flexible, and free from the influence of any single vendor. We select and combine these technologies based on your specific requirements, delivering tailored infrastructure that aligns with your business strategy.
Proven methodologies that deliver quality
To make our environments consistent, scalable and easy to manage, we rely on methodologies that have stood the test of time. These include:
- GitOps
Infrastructure is defined in code and stored in Git repositories. GitOps controllers ensure that your live environment always reflects the intended state in Git. This removes configuration drift, enables fast recovery and supports continuous improvement. - Agile
While Agile originated in software development, we apply its principles to infrastructure projects. This allows us to adapt quickly to changing requirements and deliver working systems in shorter cycles. - Everything as code
We document and version everything as code, from infrastructure and configurations to monitoring and operational procedures. This ensures traceability, transparency and ease of collaboration across teams.
