Everything you need for production-ready infrastructure

Zero License Fees

Apache CloudStack is 100% open-source under ASL 2.0. No per-socket, per-VM, or per-CPU licensing. Save 60-80% vs VMware.

No Vendor Lock-in

Unlike VMware under Broadcom, CloudStack is community-driven. You own your infrastructure — no surprise price hikes.

Multi-hypervisor Support

CloudStack supports KVM, VMware, XenServer, and Hyper-V. Migrate gradually without ripping and replacing everything at once.

Multi-tenant Architecture

Built-in account isolation, RBAC, projects, and domains. Serve multiple customers securely on shared infrastructure.

Enterprise HA & DR

Built-in high availability, live migration, and disaster recovery. Designed to minimize downtime — services always accessible.

Advanced Networking

VPC, VPN, load balancing, firewall, BGP, VXLAN. Full SDN capabilities rivaling VMware NSX — at zero cost.
