Architecture

Built for reliability, performance and portability

Infrastructure deployed on-prem or in colocation, modular and sized according to your workloads. Based on proven open source components — no proprietary licenses, no vendor lock-in.

1

Management Platform — Apache CloudStack

The core of the solution. CloudStack orchestrates the entire infrastructure: VM creation, network management, quotas, templates, users.

  • Self-service web portal and comprehensive API.
  • Multi-tenant management: isolation by project, team or customer.
  • Templates and ISOs to deploy environments in minutes.
  • Apache Software Foundation project, used in production by major players worldwide.
2

Virtualization — KVM

Open source hypervisor, natively integrated with CloudStack. Performant, stable, no license cost.

  • Complete isolation between virtual machines.
  • Dynamic resource allocation (CPU, RAM).
  • Standard formats: qcow2, OVA — your VMs remain portable and exportable at any time.
3

Storage — Local NVMe

SSD/NVMe storage directly on the node, for maximum performance without network dependency.

  • High IOPS, minimal latency.
  • Integrated snapshots for fast recovery.
  • Replication and off-site backup options depending on configuration.
4

Network

Virtualized and segmented network, managed by CloudStack.

  • Segmentation by VLAN / project.
  • Integrated firewalling, traffic control.
  • Site-to-site VPN (WireGuard) for secure remote access.
  • Integration with your existing network infrastructure.
5

Backup & Continuity

  • Scheduled backups with configurable retention.
  • On-demand snapshots.
  • Optional off-site copy for disaster recovery.
  • Testable restore procedures.

What it means for you

Sovereignty

Your data stays with you (on-prem or colo), under your governance.

Portability

Open formats, standard export. No technological lock-in.

Autonomy

Portal and API to manage your resources without depending on a third party.

Modularity

Architecture sized according to your needs: scale-up, scale-out, multi-site.

All CloudCan Boxes are based on this architecture. The exact configuration (CPU, RAM, storage, network, HA options) is defined during sizing.
