Question 1

Can MSPs use whitesky to launch their own public cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. whitesky is specifically designed for MSPs that want to launch their own cloud services under their own brand. The platform includes multi-tenancy, billing, metering, and a white-label portal.

Question 2

What is the Cloud Enabler / VCO model?

Accepted Answer

The Cloud Enabler / Virtual Cloud Operator (VCO) model separates infrastructure ownership from service delivery. Cloud Enablers own the hardware and locations, whitesky.cloud operates the platform layer, and VCOs bring cloud services to market. This is similar to the MVNE/MVNO model in telecom.

Question 3

Does whitesky run on customer-owned hardware?

Accepted Answer

Yes. whitesky can run on customer-owned or partner-owned hardware in a datacenter or colocation environment. This enables true sovereignty and eliminates vendor lock-in.

Question 4

How does whitesky billing work for MSPs?

Accepted Answer

whitesky includes a built-in billing and invoicing system that supports usage-based metering, per-tenant cost tracking, invoicing, and reseller onboarding. Cloud Enablers choose between fixed, capacity-based pricing and pay-per-use, metered every 15 minutes. Integration with Octopus.cloud is available for Microsoft SPLA compliance.

Question 5

What services can MSPs offer with whitesky?

Accepted Answer

MSPs can offer virtual machines (cloudspaces), object storage (objectspaces), Kubernetes (containerspaces), virtual desktops (VDI), and backup services - all under their own brand.

Question 6

What is the whitesky Federation?

Accepted Answer

The Federation is a network of Cloud Enablers whose whitesky locations are interconnected. The Cloud Enablers resell capacity to each other while remaining fully independent, so a VCO that contracts and is billed only by its own Cloud Enabler can still deploy in every federated location.
