OpenStack expertise

Your private cloud infrastructure, fully under control

OpenStack is an open source cloud computing platform for building and running private clouds. At OPSaaS, we support you through every stage of your OpenStack project: initial deployment, migration from other platforms, and day-to-day maintenance.

Why choose OpenStack?

OpenStack offers clear benefits to companies that want to keep control of their cloud infrastructure:

  • Data sovereignty: Keep sensitive data on your own infrastructure
  • Flexibility and customization: Shape your cloud around your specific needs
  • Lower costs: Eliminate recurring public cloud fees
  • Optimized performance: Tune your infrastructure for your specific workloads
  • Technology independence: Avoid cloud provider lock-in

Use cases

Financial services company

A financial services company needed to move its critical applications from a public cloud to private infrastructure to meet regulatory requirements. We:

  • Deployed a highly available OpenStack infrastructure
  • Migrated more than 200 virtual machines with minimal downtime
  • Set up a disaster recovery solution
  • Automated deployment and backup processes
  • Trained the internal IT team on day-to-day operations

Results: 35% lower costs, 40% better performance, full compliance with regulatory requirements.

E-commerce company

A fast-growing e-commerce platform needed infrastructure that could adapt quickly to seasonal traffic peaks. We:

  • Designed a scalable OpenStack architecture
  • Implemented autoscaling
  • Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes for containerized applications
  • Set up advanced monitoring and alerting
  • Tuned performance for high-traffic periods

Results: Traffic peaks 5x higher handled, time to ship new features reduced by 70%.

OpenStack FAQ

Is OpenStack a good fit for small and mid-sized businesses?

Yes. OpenStack scales to your needs, from modest deployments to massive infrastructure. We offer solutions sized for your company and your budget.

How does OpenStack differ from public clouds like AWS or Azure?

OpenStack lets you build your own private cloud, with full control over your infrastructure, your data and your costs. Public clouds are simpler to start with, but they can get expensive over time and raise data sovereignty concerns.

How long does it take to deploy OpenStack infrastructure?

The initial deployment takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how complex your environment is. We use automation tools to speed up the process and reduce risk.

Is OpenStack secure?

OpenStack ships with many security features (authentication, authorization, encryption, etc.). We reinforce them with security best practices and regular audits to protect your infrastructure.

How does OpenStack work with Kubernetes?

OpenStack and Kubernetes complement each other. OpenStack provides the infrastructure (compute, networking, storage), and Kubernetes orchestrates your containerized applications. We can deploy Kubernetes on OpenStack so you get the best of both.
