A flexible and transparent alternative for your Private Cloud

Vates VMS on Aruba Cloud is a private cloud platform with open source virtualization technology developed in Europe. Based on XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra, it enables the creation of high-performance virtualized environments with full visibility of the infrastructure and control over data and technology, without lock-in.

The service is delivered on dedicated infrastructure in Aruba data centers, with customized configuration, and is available in managed or unmanaged modes. Ideal for those seeking technological independence, data sovereignty, and economic sustainability.

Technological and data sovereignty

European technology and cloud provider, data hosted in proprietary data centers, full control over infrastructure and configurations.

Control, resilience, and transparency

Verifiable open source architecture, without lock-in, with native backups and maximum visibility over the platform.

Tailored operating model

We define the service based on your needs: from managing only the hardware (unmanaged) to the entire infrastructure (managed).

Scalability and predictable costs
