Openstack as a Service
Multi-region Cloud infrastructure deployed in Italy and self-managed
Manage cloud resources with the flexibility to deploy to 3 independent Italian regions. An ecosystem zero lock-in with pay-as-you-go billing and designed for users who require performance, data sovereignty, and API automation.
Distribute workloads across the three Italian regions
Reduce single points of failure by deploying your cloud resources on geographically distant nodes (Milan and Rome). Manage Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity strategies independently, with the assurance that data resides in Italy on infrastructure ACN qualified, ideal for critical databases and regulated workloads.
Infrastructure Deployment as a Service
Use variable computing power without the burden of hardware maintenance, which we take care of. Through the console, you perform the provisioning of networks, instances, and volumes in a few seconds: you eliminate technical waiting times and free your team from managing physical servers to focus solely on deployment.
Pay only for the cloud resources you use, hour by hour
Optimize your investments eliminating the costs of unused resources. The model pay-per-use allows you to scale your infrastructure to real load peaks, transforming hardware investments into variable and predictable operational costs, always monitorable in real-time from your dashboard.
Portability and Zero Technological Lock-in
Protect your operational freedom with OpenStack's native compatibility. We guarantee full workload portability and theno vendor lock-in: you are free to evolve or migrate your architecture at any time, without exit costs or hidden technological barriers.
Create your IaaS via API, CLI, or Infrastructure as Code
Leverage documented APIs and standard to make your infrastructure programmable As you prefer. We provide the technology stack to make your application scalable and ready for integration. Openstack as a Service is fully compatible with Terraform and Ansible for automated DevOps workflows.

FAQ
What is OpenStack as a Service (OaaS)?
It's a professional Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, built on open source OpenStack technology, that lets you create and manage a complete IT infrastructure (servers, storage, and networking) entirely on your own. Unlike a traditional VPS, you get granular control over every resource through our CloudFire console or via API, paying only for what you use.
Where is data physically stored in OpenStack as a Service?
All infrastructure is located in Italy. You can deploy your workloads across 3 independent regions: MI1 (at Data4 in Milan), MI2 (at Vaultica in Milan), and RM1 (at Aruba in Rome). Our chosen datacenters are certified for the highest security and data protection standards, ensuring digital sovereignty and compliance with ACN and GDPR requirements. Learn more about our Datacenters.
What is the advantage of IaaS over on-premises infrastructure?
Moving to our IaaS eliminates hardware maintenance costs (CAPEX) and provisioning wait times. You get resources that scale in seconds, native Italian geographic resilience across 3 nodes, and the assurance of an always up-to-date software stack managed by our experts.
Can I automate the management of a cloud environment through code (IaC)?
Yes. Because it is based on the OpenStack standard, the service is natively compatible with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Ansible. You can manage the entire resource lifecycle through documented APIs and CLI, integrating the cloud into your DevOps workflows.
How does pay-per-use billing work in OpenStack as a Service?
The system calculates actual consumption of allocated resources (vCPU, RAM, Storage, IP) on an hourly basis. There are no upfront fixed fees or hidden costs: at the end of the month you pay exactly for what you used, with full cost transparency for every single instance.
Is OpenStaIs OpenStack as a Service suitable for companies of all sizes?ck as a service suitable for businesses of all sizes?
Yes, OpenStack as a Service is suited to companies of every size and industry, from SMEs to large enterprises. Its scalability and flexibility let you adapt the service to your needs.
Am I locked in to CloudFire if I decide to migrate to another cloud provider?
No. Our commitment is \"Zero Lock-in\". Because we use the open source OpenStack standard, you can migrate your workloads and configurations to any other compatible provider or to a private infrastructure, with no technology barriers or penalties.
