Sovereign cloud for companies/organizations is like having your own secure digital fortress for data and services. It’s all about keeping your company’s digital assets within your country’s borders, ensuring data privacy and security.

Edge cloud refers to our cloud computing infrastructure that is designed to operate at the edge of a network, closer to the data sources and end-users, while also maintaining the characteristics of a private cloud.

EDGE PUBLIC CLOUD

Our public cloud runs on Edge locations which can be on any location but preferrable on the locations of a partner. Our partner network makes sure you can run your workloads as near as possible thus enabling Edge speed with public features.

SAAS

With our fully managed plain vanilla cloud you can make more on your subscriptions for your SaaS solution.

TELECOM

Telco organizations are planning to move towards hybrid multi-cloud to manage data better and support their workforces in the near future.

RETAIL

Retail needs on-premises Edge cloud solutions for their stores to enhance operational efficiency, improve customer experience and enable data-driven decision-making.

HEALTHCARE

Healthcare organizations have unique requirements and face various challenges related to data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.

IOT

The world sees more and more Internet of things devices, and storing all this data safely becomes a bigger issue.

S3 STORAGE

whitesky.cloud’s S3 is a massively scalable storage service based on object storage technology. It provides a very high level of durability, with high availability and high performance.

INTEGRATIONS

KUBERNETES

We support Kubernetes by using the Suze Rancher RKE integration.

APIS

APIs first, that has been our approach to in-house development. Create your own tools around our edge-native stack through the API. Check the API basics.

DOCUMENTATION

Check our portal documentation for more specific info on how to manage your workloads.

TRANS-IX

In the Netherlands we partnered with Trans-iX who is a Managed Service Provider. This is how they describe what they do:

“Trans-iX is a Managed Service Provider with a focus on technology. You come to us because you are looking for IT professionals who understand technology and understand and solve your daily challenges.”

GLOBAL PARTNERS

We are creating a global network of partnerships offering our edge cloud solution with federative features thus enabling cloud roaming. Partners offer our Edge solution to customers in their country.

PUBLIC EDGE CLOUD

Our partners offer a public federative whitesky.cloud based on their over capacity. This means we offer cloud roaming in multiple countries to form a cloud grid.

BLOG

Our blog shows you the latest and greatest on Edge cloud. We share articles but also create interesting content ourselves.

5 interesting solutions to deploy on your own fully managed cloud

Hans Blaauw
July 26, 2023

Introduction While it may seem interesting to always buy subscriptions for cloud hosted solutions, in the end it is more cost effective to host your own version. We list a few SaaS solutions that make sense to host in your own environment.

1. N8N

You know you don’t need to fool around with code anymore all the time, right?

The old way of connecting API’s was writing code but platforms like Power Automate, Zapier, Make.com and others have changed our way on how to connect API’s. Sure, the old way of doing things still exist but the new generation picks their own tools.

N8N can be compared to Zapier and Make.com but with the exception that it can be hosted on your own infrastructure. This is not suitable for all scenario’s but if you have a flow that needs to run a lot of times it makes sense to deploy it yourself to save money.

There is some documentation for other platforms and it easy to set it up on whitesky.cloud.

2. Retool

So you want to develop a nice interface for some internal applications? There are many tools available like:

Betty Blocks
Bubble
Adola

All great tools but they lack a way to deploy on your own infrastructure. Retool is different and has options for self-hosting.

3. IOT - connectivity

If you are in the sensor (IOT) business you know that a subscription/publish model is used many times for sensor based applications. MQTT (invented in 1999 by IBM) is a standard to exchange realtime information between sensors.

There are enough public cloud choices out there but did you know you can host your own with Eclipse Mosquitto?

4. IOT - management

In 2015 two Dutch guys started The Things Network, a “free” way to exchange sensor data over long distances. The standard used is LoraWAN.

If you are into sensors and need to connect your in- and outdoor gateways you can opt to pick a self hosted network management solution. Chirpstack is a LoRaWAN Network Server which can be self-hosted on any infrastructure.

ChirpStack provides a web-interface for the management of gateways, devices and tenants as well to setup data integrations with the major cloud providers, databases and services commonly used for handling device data. ChirpStack provides a gRPC based API that can be used to integrate or extend ChirpStack.
