Private Managed Cloud

Deliver sovereign private clouds for your customers — fully managed

In short: whitesky enables MSPs to deliver private managed clouds that feel like public cloud but run in customer datacenters, colocation, or MSP facilities with full data sovereignty and compliance control.

Many customers want the cloud operating model (self-service, automation, scalability) while keeping full control over data location, compliance, and cost. With whitesky, MSPs can deliver a private managed cloud that feels like public cloud — but runs where the customer needs it.

whitesky is delivered as a managed service today (installation, updates, monitoring and lifecycle management), with a software edition rolling out in 2026.

What “Private Managed Cloud” means with whitesky

A whitesky private managed cloud is a dedicated cloud environment for a customer, operated by you as the MSP (and optionally co-operated with whitesky). It can run:

  • In your datacenter (as a service provider-owned private cloud)
  • In the customer’s datacenter (on-prem private cloud)
  • In a colocation facility
  • Across multiple sites (hybrid / multi-location)

The customer gets the cloud experience. You keep operational consistency and margin.

Built for MSP operations

whitesky is designed so MSPs can standardize private cloud delivery across customers:

  • Multi-tenant platform with strong isolation and delegated admin
  • Standard building blocks that scale from small to large environments
  • Central operations visibility across locations and customers
  • Automation via portal and API (no manual ticket-only workflows)
  • Clear separation of responsibilities (customer vs MSP vs platform operator)

Customer outcomes you can lead with

Private managed cloud is typically chosen when customers need:

  • Data residency and sovereignty (know exactly where workloads run)
  • Predictable cost models (avoid hyperscaler price volatility)
  • Compliance alignment (regulated industries and public sector)
  • Low-latency proximity to on-prem systems
  • Vendor independence (escape proprietary lock-in)

Platform capabilities that matter most for private cloud

Depending on the customer profile, private managed cloud can include:

  • Virtual Cloud Environments (cloudspaces) for compute and networking
  • S3-compatible object storage (objectspaces) for data and backups
  • Containers & Kubernetes for modern workloads
  • Built-in Backup & Disaster Recovery options
  • Virtual Desktops (VDI) for secure workspaces
  • Portal, RBAC and usage reporting for governance
  • Security & compliance features aligned to regulated workloads

Hybrid & multi-location by design

whitesky supports multi-location architectures that many private cloud customers require:

  • Split workloads across datacenters (active/active or active/passive)
  • Add a second site for DR
  • Burst to partner locations via federation where applicable
  • Keep management consistent via one portal and API

This allows you to build resilient private cloud offerings without introducing a complex multi-vendor stack.

Delivery model: managed service today, software tomorrow

Today, whitesky is delivered as a managed platform:

  • installation and configuration on your/customer hardware
  • monitoring and lifecycle management
  • updates and upgrades
  • operational best practices

A software edition is rolling out in 2026, allowing MSPs (or customers) to take over platform operation progressively if desired — without changing architecture or business model.

Typical customer scenarios

MSPs use whitesky private managed cloud to deliver:

  • VMware replacement private clouds
  • Sovereign infrastructure for regulated SMB/enterprise
  • Public sector private clouds with clear data locality
  • Hybrid modernization: VMs + Kubernetes + S3 storage
  • Secure VDI environments close to data
