Private Managed Cloud

Deliver sovereign private clouds for your customers — fully managed

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
